THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 09/01/2007, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: C.N.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR, J. .................................................................... W.P.(C) No.857 of 2007 .................................................................... Dated this the 9th day of January, 2007. JUDGMENT Petitioner's complaint is that the stage was rough and therefore, she could not play well. However, it is seen that for Folk Dance and Kuchippudi, petitioner is not even second prize winner and the difference in marks in these two items is above 25. Even though for Mohiniyattam difference in marks is only 8, all the judges have awarded higher marks to the first prize winner. I do not find any ground to interfere in the matter. The W.P. is dismissed. C.N.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR Judge pms
