DILIP MOHAN THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 17/01/2011,THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: Kss ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ------------------------- W.P (C) No.1550 of 2011 -------------------------- Dated this the 17th January, 2011 J U D G M E N T In the Poetry Recitation Competition held in connection with the Palakkad District Youth Festival, petitioner participated. She was given "A' Grade with third place. Complaining that the mike provided was defective, petitioner filed an appeal. That was rejected by Ext.P5. It is challenging the above, the writ petition is filed. Ext.P5 appellate order itself show that the Stage Manager's report was that there was no substance in the complaint of the petitioner that the mike was defective. No material has been produced to prove the Stage Manager's report wrong. That apart, learned Government Pleader, on instructions, submits that while the first prize winner had secured 233 marks the petitioner had secured only 226 marks. Further, first prize winner who will be affected if any order is passed by this Court has not been made a party. In such circumstances, I am not persuaded to W.P (C) No. 1550 of 2011 2 interfere with the impugned order. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed. ANTONY DOMINIC JUDGE ma /True copy/ P.A to Judge
