GOVT.PLEADER SRI.DILEEP MOHAN THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 04/01/2011, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ================ W.P.(C) NO. 62 OF 2011 ===================== Dated this the 4th day of January, 2011 J U D G M E N T Petitioners participated in the Palakkad Science Mathematics and Social Science Fair 2010-11 in the item Maths (Group Project). They were given third prize with A Grade. They filed an appeal and that was rejected by Ext.P3. It is challenging the aforesaid proceedings, the writ petition is filed. The main allegation raised by the petitioners is that while their performance was evaluated, though the judges had accepted theirs' as the best, when the results were declared, the same was changed only to help the first and second place winners. 2. Learned Government Pleader who has obtained instruction submits that while the first prize winner had secured 249 marks and the second prize winner had secured 226 marks, petitioners secured only 217 marks. This itself show that unanimously the judges have assessed the first and second prize winners superior to the petitioners. If that be so, there cannot be any basis for the allegation against the judges. In that view of the WPC No. 62/11 :2 : matter, I do not find any merit in the writ petition. Writ petition is dismissed. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE Rp
