R1 TO R3 BY GOVT.PLEADER SRI.DILEEP MOHAN THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 11/01/2011, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: svs ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ``````````````````````````````````````````````````````` W.P.(C) No. 819 of 2011 B ``````````````````````````````````````````````````````` Dated this the 11th day of January, 2011 J U D G M E N T In the Cherthala Sub District Level Kalotsavam, petitioner participated in the item 'Bharthanatyam'. She was given 2nd prize with 'A Grade'. Complaining that the stage was slippery and unsteady, which affected her performance, petitioner filed an appeal, which was rejected by Ext.P1 order. Challenging Ext.P1 and seeking a direction for participation in the District Level Kalotsavam, this writ petition is filed. 2. Learned Government Pleader, who has obtained instructions in the matter, submits that the 1st prize winner had secured 234 marks, whereas the petitioner secured only 226 marks. In so far as the allegation that the stage was slippery an unsteady is concerned, the learned Government Pleader submits that a report was obtained from the Stage Manager, who has denied this allegation. It is also stated that no other candidate had any complaint as the one raised by the W.P.(C) No.819/2011 : 2 : petitioner. 3. First of all, the first prize winner is not impleaded in the writ petition and in that sense, the writ petition is bad for non-joinder of necessary parties. Secondly, going by the submissions made by the learned Government Pleader, it is seen that the same stage was provided to all the candidates and no other candidate had any complaint in the matter. The report of the Stage Manager is also against the petitioner. If that be so, not only that the complaint of the petitioner is without any force but also even if there is any substance, no prejudice special to the petitioner could have been caused. In the result, I am not inclined to interfere with the matter. Writ petition fails and it is dismissed. (ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE) aks
