THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 30/12/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: T.R.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR,J ============================ W.P.(C).No.38160 of 2008 =========================== Dated this the 30th day of December, 2008 JUDGMENT Petitioner challenges Ext.P1 order passed by the Chairman of the Appeal Committee. The main ground for challenging Ext.P1 is that the appeal was dismissed without hearing the petitioner. It is also contended that there was a defect in the CD player arranged by the authorities as there was voltage fluctuations. Petitioner seeks for a direction to permit her to participate in the State Kalolsavam which is scheduled to start today. A reading of the order Ext.P1 shows that the Appellate Authority was of the view that there was no merit in the complaint and the person who stood first obtained 15 marks more than the petitioner. I do not find any merit in the challenge against Ext.P1. The writ petition is dismissed. T.R.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR,JUDGE dvs
