BY GOVERNMENT PLEADER SRI.I.V. PRAMOD THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 19/11/2007, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J ------------------- W.P.(C). 34036/2007 -------------------- Dated this the 19th day of November, 2007 JUDGMENT The petitioner who had participated in the District Level Fair, 2007 has filed this writ petition to consider Ext.P3 and award A-Grade with first place in the item 'Stuffed Toys'. There is a further prayer to admit the petitioner in the State Level Fair proposed to be held on 20.11.2007. 2. Petitioner had participated in the item 'Stuffed Toys' in which the petitioner was awarded second place with A- Grade. It is contended that going by the performance, the petitioner ought to have been given first place with A- Grade. 3. The respondents have framed a manual which is the relevant portion of Ext.P1. They have also given guidelines on the basis of which the 100 marks have to be awarded and specific guidelines have been indicated with manual. It is in terms of this that the performance of each W.P.(C).34036/2007 2 of the participant is assessed. The Judges who were appointed for assessing the performance of the contestants have applied the guidelines set for the same and declared that the petitioner is eligible only for the second place. 4. This Court will not be justified in upsetting the judgment of those experts particularly in the absence of any satisfactory material to conclude that the assessment of the Judges is perverse. I do not find any material to upset the decision of the Judges. Writ petition fails and the same is dismissed. ANTONY DOMINIC Judge mrcs
