JUDGMENT The petitioner is a plus two student. He was a member of the team which represented her school and participated in the District level Youth Festival in item Orchestra (Vrindavadyam). Even though they were ranked with A grade, they were not allowed to participate in the Kerala State School Youth Festival. 2. The petitioner's attempt to get the result modified by filing appeal did not also succeed, as the appeal was rejected by Ext.P1. Mainly it is contended that the venue was not clear because adjacent to the venue where the petitioner's item was held, there were other venues where programmes were going on. Hence there was overlapping of sounds and the same could not be judged in a proper manner. It is also stated that the mike and other output sources provided were not properly functioning at that time. 3. Learned Govt. Pleader on instructions, submitted that the petitioner's team who were adjudged as third, got 221 marks, whereas the winning team secured 232 marks. In these circumstances, I do not find any ground to interfere with the wpc1060 /2010 2 result of the competition. The writ petition is therefore dismissed. (T.R. Ramachandran Nair, Judge.) kav/
