THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 15/01/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ------------------------------------ W.P.(C) 1796 of 2008 ------------------------------------- Dated: January 15, 2008 JUDGMENT Petitioner had participated in Oppana and were given A grade. It is stated that as against the provisions in the Manual requiring the judges to declare the results, it was the members of the organising committee who declared the results. 2. Apart from the fact that as against the judges it was the members of the organising committee who declared the results, petitioner has no case that the result declared is different from what the judges had assessed. If that be so, even if it was the organising committee that did the formality of declaration of the results, that could not in any way alter or invalidate the assessment of performance by the judges. Writ petition therefore fails and is dismissed. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE mt/-
