It is stated that the writ petitioner had got 230 marks. The ground on which the petitioner impugns the assessment of performance is that the bamboo poles were not removed from the stage and as a result of which it affected their movement during the course of the performance. As rightly found by the appeal committee in Ext. P1 the difference in marks between the petitioner and the first prize winner is 8. It is also found that no complaint has been raised even by the second prize winner. At any rate, having chosen to perform on the stage, it cannot now be contended that stage was not good enough for performance. If that be so, there cannot be any valid reason for the petitioner to raise objection against the assessment by the judges. Writ petition fails and is dismissed. ANTONY DOMINIC JUDGE jan/-
