She was given 3rd place with A Grade. Complaining that there was disturbance at the venue of competition, an appeal was filed. That was rejected by Ext.P6 order. Ext.P6 order is under challenge in this writ petition. 2. A reading of Ext.P6 order itself show that as between the first prize winner and petitioner, the difference in marks in 25. Even if it is assumed that there was disturbance at the venue, such disturbance could not have affected the petitioner alone and must have been common to all. Therefore, in such circumstances , I am inclined to think that any prejudice special to the petitioner could have been caused warranting interference of this Court. Writ petition fails and it is accordingly dismissed. Sd/- ANTONY DOMINIC JUDGE ma /True copy/ P.A to Judge W.P (C) No. 2010 2
