SANTHA THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 02/01/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: /2/ ANTONY DOMINIC,J. ----------------------- W.P.(C).No.47 OF 2008 ------------------------ Dated this the 2nd day of January, 2009. JUDGMENT Petitioner had participated in the Ernakulam District Youth Festival and her item was Folk dance. She was given 3rd prize with A-Grade. Appeal filed was rejected by Ext.P3. It is challenging Ext.P3 and the prize that was given the writ petition filed. Counsel contends that the sound system was defective. I am not in a position to accept this contention for the reason that, as according to the Government Pleader there was no report to that effect from the stage Manager. A reading of Ext.P3 shows that the difference of marks between the petitioner and the first prize winner is 15. In the light of the such wide disparity in the marks, I am not in a position to inter /2/ that the ground urged by the petitioner could be a reason for the prize that was awarded. Writ Petition fails and is dismissed. (ANTONY DOMINIC) JUDGE vi/ /2/
