She was aggrieved by the prize that she got and complaining against the same, an appeal was filed which was rejected by Ext. P5. It is stated that last year the petitioner's team was the first prize winner and this year also they expected to win the first prize. 2. The fact that they had won the first prize last year is no justification to think that the assessment of the judges this year should also be in their favour. It is stated that there was obstruction in the course of their performance on account of the presence of a video camera man. It is not made clear as to how that was happened and affected their performance. In any case the WPC No. 1179/08 - 2 - contentions raised by the petitioner has been considered by the appeal committee and the appeal having been rejected by Ext. P5, I see no material or justification warranting interference in Ext. P5. Writ petition fails and is dismissed. ANTONY DOMINIC JUDGE jan/-
