PLEADER SRI.P.NARAYANAN THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 03/01/2011, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: tss ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ------------------------- W.P (C) No.38354 of 2010 -------------------------- Dated this the 3rd January, 2011 J U D G M E N T Petitioner participated in the Applied Mathematical Construction at the District Science, Mathematics and Social Science Fair 2010-2011 held on 17.12.2010 at St.Joseph's Convent School, Kollam. Results were announced on the next day, which according to the petitioner, is against the provisions of the Manual. It is stated that immediately thereafter the material was returned to the candidates including the petitioner. Petitioner also alleges that one of the Judges was the Tuition Teacher of the participant who got the second position and therefore the panel of Judges was also wrongly constituted. It is on these allegations, this writ petition is filed. 2. Learned Government Pleader has obtained instructions in the matter. According to the learned Government Pleader, the competition was held on 17th and 18th of December 2010 and therefore, after exhibition which was held on 18.12.2010, evaluation was W.P (C) No.38354 of 2010 2 done and results were declared on 18.12.2010 itself. 3. As far as the Judges are concerned, the learned Government Pleader submits that declarations were obtained from the Judges and that as per the declarations, the Judges were not in any manner connected with any participants. Further, it is also pointed out that petitioner did not file any appeal against the assessment by the Judges. 4. As far as the alleged belated declaration of results is concerned, having regard to the fact that competition lasted for two days viz., 17.12.2010 and 18.12.2010 and as marks are also awarded for exhibition, results could not have been announced any time prior to 18th December 2010. Therefore, that allegation of the petitioner cannot be undertaken. 5. As far as the Judges are concerned, apart from the unsubstantiated allegations, petitioner has not produced any material to substantiate her case. Further, having regard to the submission made by the learned Government Pleader, that as per the declaration given by the Judges, none of the Judges had any connection with W.P (C) No.38354 of 2010 3 any participant and in the absence of any counter materials, I do not find my way to accept the case of the petitioner. Writ petition fails and it is accordingly dismissed. ANTONY DOMINIC JUDGE ma W.P (C) No.38354 of 2010 4
