Complaining that during the course of the performance there was power failure which affected her performance, she filed an appeal and that was rejected by Ext.P4 order. It is challenging the above, the writ petition is filed. 2. Learned Government Pleader has obtained instructions in the matter and submits that though there was failure in power supply that did not affect the evaluation of the Judges. This precisely is stated in Ext.P4 also. Irrespective of the power failure, the petitioner can have grievance if she is able to prove that due to the power failure, her performance was affected or that the Judges could not evaluate her performance. There is absolutely no materials in this respect. In such situation I am not in a position to accept the case of the petitioner. Writ petition fails and it is accordingly dismissed.
