PLEADER SHRI.P.N.SANTHOSH THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 18/12/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S.SIRI JAGAN, J. ================== W.P.(C).No.37383 of 2008 ================== Dated this the 18th day of December, 2008 J U D G M E N T The petitioner challenges the results of the Parichamuttukali of the Mala Educational Sub District Youth Festival for the year 2008. The petitioner's appeal in the matter was rejected by Ext.P4. The petitioner is challenging the same. The learned Government Pleader has produced the appeal filed by the petitioner. In the same, the only reason mentioned is that although the petitioner was entitled to a better place, the same was not given. That is only a self assessment of the petitioner of the performance. That cannot be a ground for challenging the decision of the judges. In any event, in such matters, the jurisdiction of this Court is very limited. Unless the petitioner alleges malafies on the part of either the judges or the appeal committee, this Court cannot interfere with such matters in exercise of the powers under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. Therefore, I do not find any merit in the writ petition and accordingly, the same is dismissed. Sd/- sdk+ S.SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE ///True copy/// P.A. to Judge 2
