She was awarded second price with A grade and aggrieved by the same an appeal was filed and that was rejected. The complaint is that the petitioner's legs got stuck in the two pieces of Tarpaulin that was laid on the stage. Even according to the petitioner, all the other participants have performed on the very same stage. If that be so, there cannot be any special prejudice to the petitioner. That apart, going by photographs produced, I am not in a position to accept the contention that Tarpaulin was laid on the stage could have caused any prejudice to the petitioner. The writ petition fails and hence, it is dismissed. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE scm
