(C) No. 1312 OF 2008 F = = = = = = = = = = = = = = Dated this the 10th day of January, 2008 J U D G M E N T Petitioner was a participant in Bharathanatyam in the District Level Youth Festival and was given the 4th prize. The only ground on which the petitioner submits that he could not perform well was that initially his chest number was wrongly announced by the programme committee and when he started performance on the stage he has to vacate. It is stated that thereafter a chance was given. In my view, whoever is responsible for the mistake, once it was found out that the petitioner was given a second opportunity to perform well and hence, the mistake committed by the authorities cannot be taken advantage of by the petitioner. Writ petition fails and is dismissed. ANTONY DOMINIC JUDGE jan/-
