SANDESH RAJA THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 26/12/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC,J. ----------------------- W.P.(C).No. 38088 /2008 ------------------------ Dated this the 26th day of December, 2008. JUDGMENT Petitioner had participated in the Oppana competition held as part of the Revenue .District Youth Festival, Malappuram. She is aggrieved by the assessment of the performance and the ranking that was given. The appeal filed by her was rejected by Ext.P1. It is challenging the assessment by the Judges and the rejection of the appeal that the writ petition has been filed. Government Pleader on instructions has submitted the details of the marks awarded to the prize winners and the petitioner's group which shows a wide disparity in the marks that they had secured. Further regarding the competence of the judges who have assessed the performance of the petitioner, it is stated that they were appointed from an approved panel of judges. Further, the assessment by the judges and the decision of the Appeal Committee is unanimous. In view of this, I am not persuaded to agree with WPC No.38088/08 -2- the writ petitioner that the assessment of their performance is vitiated for any reason. Writ Petition fails and is dismissed. (ANTONY DOMINIC) JUDGE vi/ WPC No.38088/08 -2-
