No. 21626 OF 2009 -------------------------------------------- Dated this the 7th day of June, 2010 JUDGMENT Ramachandran Nair, J. W.P.C. is filed for appropriate direction to the Government to stop Fashion Show being organised in the State. According to the petitioner even minor girls are allowed to participate in the Fashion Show. W.P.C. is filed in the year 2009 against specific programmes organised by the fourth respondent. In fact this Court sent observers which included a lady lawyer of this Court. Observers have reported that there was nothing obscene or indecent in the conduct of the Fashion Show which is over. We do not think any direction is called for in this matter. W.P.C. is accordingly closed. (C.N.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR) Judge. (P.S. GOPINATHAN) Judge. kk 2
