DILIP MOHAN THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 17/01/2011, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: Mn ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ------------------------- W.P (C) No.1595 of 2011 -------------------------- Dated this the 17th January, 2011 J U D G M E N T In Malappuram District Youth Festival, petitioner participated in the item "Mohiniyattam". She was given second place with "A" Grade. An appeal filed was rejected by Ext.P1 order. It is challenging Ext.P1, this writ petition is filed. 2. Ext.P1 order itself show that the contentions raised by the petitioner is that the wooden planks on the stage were moving and therefore she could not perform well. It is stated in the order that no other participant had such a complaint. If that be so, I see no reason to accept the complaint of the petitioner. Ext.P1 further shows that the performance of the petitioner was also inferior. As far as the assessment of the performance is concerned, unless the petitioner is able to maintain a strong case that the evaluation of performance by the Judges is wrong, normally this Court will go by the assessment of the judges. W.P (C) No. 1595 of 2011 2 On the facts as above, I am not inclined to interfere with the impugned order in this writ petition. Accordingly the writ petition is dismissed.
