JUDGMENT The petitioner, with the materials on record, demonstrates that he is exceptionally brilliant in painting. He has many certificates to his credit. But the fact of the matter remains that he could come only to the second place in the competition in question. The petitioner attributes the comparative success to the rival candidate, he being the son of the Programme Convener of the School where the competition was held. There is no prohibition for that student to have participated in the competition in question. It would be inappropriate for this Court to visit the facts and to hold that the matter requires interference by this Court under Article 226 of the Constitution. The writ petition fails. The same is accordingly dismissed. THOTTATHIL B.RADHAKRISHNAN, JUDGE. Sha/2412
