GOVERNMENT PLEADER SRI.P.N.SANTHOSH THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 02/01/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. --------------------------- W.P.(C) No. 241 of 2009 ------------------------------------ Dated this the 2nd day of January, 2009 JUDGMENT In the Thrissur Revenue District School Kalolsavam, the petitioner was a participant. His item was mimicry. He was awarded 2nd prize with A grade. Aggrieved by the same, an appeal was filed, but that was rejected vide Exhibit P5. The counsel for the petitioner contends that during the course of performance, mike was switched off and that affected his performance. A reading of Exhibit P5, appellate order shows that there was no report from the stage manager supporting the case of the petitioner. Even in this writ petition, nothing has been placed on record to prove his contention. Apart from that learned Government pleader points out that between the first prize winner and the petitioner, there is a difference of 15 marks. In the circumstance, I am not inclined to interfere with the appellate order. The writ petition fails and hence, it is dismissed. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE scm
