JUDGMENT The petitioner participated in the District level Kalolsavam in the item Hindi Poem recitation competition. It is her case that even though she performed exceptionally well, she was awarded only the third place with A grade. Aggrieved by the same, she filed an appeal before the appeal committee, but the same was rejected as per Ext.P1. It is contended that when the petitioner was performing, the organizers did not care to create a good condition for her performance and there was no such situation to other candidates. 2. A reading of Ext.P1 shows that the petitioner's team obtained 225 marks, whereas the winning team secured 242 marks and hence there is a difference of 17 marks. It was also found that the contentions raised by the petitioner are not correct. In the above circumstances, the writ petition fails and the same is dismissed. (T.R. Ramachandran Nair, Judge.) kav/
