THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 15/01/2008,THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ========================= W.P.(C)NO.1687 OF 2008 ========================= Dated this the 15th day of January 2008 JUDGMENT Petitioners had participated in Margam Kali under the District Level Youth Festival and with the difference of one mark, they were given second prize. It is stated that the reason for not giving second prize is that one of the participants was not dressed properly. If as a matter of fact there was any impropriety in the dress if even one of the participants that is certainly a good ground for rating them as has now been done by the judges. I do not find any irregularity in the action of the judges. Dismissed. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE css/
