The appeal filed by the petitioner against the assessment of her performance was also rejected and Ext. P3 is the order that was issued. The submission that is raised before me regarding the defects in the stage and according to the petitioner that affected her performance. The appeal memorandum has not been produced before me. On a reading of Ext.P3 order passed by the appeal committee I notice that this ground was not even raised before the appeal committee and at any rate this has not been dealt with in the said order. It is also seen from the order that the first prize winner had secured 255 marks whereas the petitioner had secured 248 marks. In view of this I do not find any merit in this writ petition. Hence, dismissed. ANTONY DOMINIC JUDGE jan/-
