PRAMOD THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 10/01/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = W.P.(C) No. 1050 OF 2008 Y = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = Dated this the 10th January, 2008 J U D G M E N T Petitioner is a participant in the District Level Youth Festival and her item was 'Ottamthullal'. She was given 3rd prize with A grade. Aggrieved by the prize that was given she had filed an appeal and that was also rejected by Ext. P5. The main complaint that is raised is that since the stage was an uneven one she could not perform well. The appeal filed by her was rejected by the appeal committee stating that the stage is in the same school and was a permanent one. The petitioner has made reference to Ext. P3 and P3(a), which indicate that the stage was a temporary one, but the temporary nature of the stage would have affected all the parties. Although it was desirable not to have such a stage I do not think that any prejudice special to the petitioner has been caused. That apart, the prize which the petitioner got this year is the third one and therefore even a better performer than the petitioner has WPC No. 1050/08 - 2 - been not included in the State Youth Festival. In view of all these, I am not inclined to interfere with the matter. Writ petition fails and is dismissed. ANTONY DOMINIC JUDGE jan/-
