R1 TO 3 BY GOVERNMENT PLEADER SRI I.V.PRAMOD THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 15/01/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ------------------------------------ W.P.(C) 1709 of 2008 ------------------------------------- Dated: January 15, 2008 JUDGMENT Petitioner had participated in eastern violin in the District Level Higher Secondary School Youth Festival and was given 3rd prize with A grade. Aggrieved by this, petitioner submits, that they had filed an appeal and that was rejected by Ext.P1. 2. The only contention that is raised before me is regarding the incompetence of the judges. 3. The learned Government Pleader on instructions submits that according to the authorities the three judges were familiar with the instrument in question and therefore they were competent to assess the performance. It is also disclosed that the petitioner had got only 3rd prize with 245 marks while the 2nd prize winner and the 1st prizer winner got 251 marks and 260 marks respectively. In view of this wide disparity in the marks. I do not think that the case calls for interference. Writ petition fails and is dismissed. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE mt/-
