V.K.MOHANAN,J. ----------------------------------------------------- W.P(C).No. 12743 of 2011 ---------------------------------------------------- Dated this the 6th day of May,2011 J U D G M E N T The grievance of the petitioner is that the documentary directed by the petitioner is not likely to be considered for award in view of clause 11 of the Regulation which states that no award shall be given in a category for which the number of entries received is less than two except in the case of Children's films. 2. Heard the counsel for the petitioner and Mr.Ashok.M.Cherian, learned counsel appearing for the third respondent. The Standing Counsel for the third respondent submitted that the documentary directed by the petitioner will be considered on merit since there is more than one entry. The said submission is recorded. 3. In the light of the above submission, I am of the view that this writ petition can be disposed of as there is no further grievance for the petitioner since clause 11 of the Regulation is not applicable as W.P(C)NO. 12743 of 2011 :-2-: there is more than one entry. Accordingly, this writ petition is disposed of recording the submission made by the learned Standing Counsel for the third respondent that the documentary directed by the petitioner will be considered on merit for the award. This writ petition is disposed of as above. V.K.MOHANAN, Judge. MBS/ W.P(C)NO. 12743 of 2011 :-3-:
