SRI.I.V.PROMOD THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 03/01/2007, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: C.N.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR, J. .................................................................... W.P.(C) No.270 of 2007 .................................................................... Dated this the 3rd day of January, 2007. JUDGMENT Heard counsel for the petitioner and Government Pleader. The petitioner is challenging award of first prize to third respondent. The grounds raised are that the judges are not qualified in Kolkali and the mike provided to petitioner's team was not a condensed mike and that the floor was cemented. According to petitioner, these technical objections were accepted in principle by the appellate authority, but still they declined to interfere on the ground that the first prize winner got 22 marks over the petitioner's team. I do not think there is any justification for this court to interfere with the award of first prize to third respondent on any of the grounds raised by the petitioner because there is nothing to indicate that the first prize winner-team was provided any different facility than what was given to the petitioner's team. In the circumstances, W.P. fails and is dismissed. C.N.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR Judge pms
