SRI.M.RAJAGOPALAN NAIR, SC FOR UNIVERSITY THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 29/01/2009,THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ============== W.P.(C) NO. 2972 OF 2009 (D) ==================== Dated this the 29th day of January, 2009 J U D G M E N T Petitioner is a student in a College affiliated to the 3rd respondent University. According to the petitioner, University Youth Festival is to commence on 2nd February, 2009 at Kollam and the petitioner states that she is interested in participating in Guitar item. 2. Her grievance is regarding Ext.P2 where stringed instruments are categorised into Veena, eastern style and western style. Petitioner submits that Guitar should be separately categorised, as otherwise, there cannot be proper competition at all. 3. According to the learned standing counsel and rightly so, it is pointed out that the categorisation as reflected in Ext.P2 is based on the Kerala University Youth Festival Rules. It is stated that the experts having chosen to categorise items in the manner as shown in Ext.P2, this Court will not be justified in sitting in judgment over the same. 4. Though I am inclined to agree with the standing counsel on the contention as above, still having regard to the grievance highlighted by the petitioner in Ext.P4, which is said to have been already filed, it is directed that if Ext.P4 has been received and is pending, the 2nd WPC 2972/09 :2 : respondent shall consider the grievance of the petitioner and pass appropriate orders in this behalf as expeditiously as possible. Writ petition is disposed of as above. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE Rp
