It is stated that the difference in marks between the 1st prize winner and the petitioner was only one. Petitioner submits that two judges gave identical marks to the petitioner and the 1st prize winner and the third judge gave one mark more to the 1st prize winner. According to the petitioner, the reason for this was that the 3rd judge was favouring the 1st prize winner's school team. 2. The allegation in the petition is that the 3rd judge was closely associated with the 1st prize winner's school team. Apart from saying that the 3rd judge has some connection with the team which won the 1st prize, there is nothing in the writ petition to conclude that the allegation of the petitioner is correct. Petitioner has not furnished any details to accept this contention. In view of WP(C) 1841/08 Page numbers the vagueness of the averment, I am not in a position to take cognizance of the allegation. The writ petition fails and is dismissed. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE mt/-
