The main contention that is raised by the learned counsel for the writ petitioner is that the petitioner had questioned the competence of the judges who assessed their performance and this contention of the petitioner has not been dealt with in the appellate order of the committee. It is true that this aspect has not been dealt with in the committee's order. But then, grievances that is raised seems to be vague. Petitioner also says that she assumes that the judges lacks the necessary qualification. Such assumptions cannot be treated as valid contentions to be urged or dealt with by appellate committee.
