She was given second prize with A Grade. Aggrieved by the prize that she got, an appeal was filed and that was rejected by Ext.P1. Counsel contends that the stage was full of sand and that affected the performance of the dancer. It is also stated that this was reported to the Stage Manager. However, a reading of Ext.P1, the appellate order, shows that the stage used by all the participants were one and the same and therefore no special prejudice has been caused to the petitioner. That apart, it is also stated in the order that technical faults were not reported either by the judges or by the Stage Manager. In the light of the aforesaid facts stated in Ext.P1 order, I am not satisfied that the petitioner has made out a case for interference. Writ petition is dismissed. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE Rp
