No. 38249 of 2008 ------------------------------------------- Dated this the 1st day of January, 2009 JUDGMENT In the Kannur Revenue District School Kalolsavam, the petitioner was participated in the Thiruvathirakali and they were awarded second prize with A grade. Admittedly, the appeal was not filed in time and in this writ petition, the petitioner challenges the prize was awarded to the first prize winner without impleading them. The main contention is that one of the judges was the teacher of the school in the neighbourhood of the first prize winner's school. Even if it be so, that by itself, cannot vitiate the judgment of the Judges. It is also contended that the judges awarded marks after discussing with each other. This ought to have been urged in appeal before the appellate committee. Since the petitioner has not urged the said contention in the appeal, that ground cannot be urged in this writ petition. The writ petition fails and hence, it is dismissed. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE scm
