BY GOVT.PLEADER SRI.DILEEP MOHAN THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 14/01/2011, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: svs ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ``````````````````````````````````````````````````````` W.P.(C) No. 1407 of 2011 A ``````````````````````````````````````````````````````` Dated this the 14th day of January, 2011 J U D G M E N T In the Ernakulam Revenue District School Kalotsavam, petitioner participated in the item 'Folk Dance'. She got the fifth place with 'A Grade'. Appeal filed by the petitioner was rejected by Ext.P2 order. It is challenging the above, this writ petition has been filed. 2. Contention raised by the petitioner is that during the course of the performance, there was power failure and that when power supply was restored, she was asked to continue from where she had stopped. It is also submitted that the appeal was not considered by the appellate committee as required in the Mannual. 3. As far as the grievance of the petitioner that she was asked to resume her performance from where she stopped, learned Government Pleader, on instructions, submits that the petitioner was allowed to start the W.P.(C) No.1407/2011 : 2 : performance from the beginning. Nothing has been placed by the petitioner to contradict the aforesaid stand of the learned Government Pleader and to accept her case. In so far as the case of the petitioner that the appeal was not considered by the appellate committee as required in the Mannual is concerned, a reading of Ext.P2, the appellate order, shows that the appeal was considered by the Committee. That apart, the petitioner has not impleaded the prize winners and in view of the wide disparity in the marks obtained by the petitioner as compared to the prize winners, I am not inclined to interfere with the matter. Writ petition fails and it is dismissed. Sd/- (ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE) aks // True Copy // P.A. To Judge
