TO JUDGE scm K.P. BALACHANDRAN, J. ------------------------------------- W.P(c) No. 12000 of 2008 ------------------------------ Dated this the 14th day of November, 2008 JUDGMENT Respondent has not entered appearance despite service of notice. It appears that the respondent has lost interest in proceeding with the suit, as the suit relates to participation in Youth Festival. Heard the Government pleader. Exhibit P5 summons for the production of records mentioned therein does not appear to be warranted in the nature of this case, as it is not for the court to sit in judgment in such matters. However, the matter being one relating to the school youth festival and award of prizes therein, the prayer to prohibit first respondent not to proceed with O.S. No.9 of 2008 is refused. It is for the petitioner to apprise the court where O.S. No.9 of 2008 is pending, as regards the stand taken by them to get the suit dismissed. The writ petition is disposed of as above. K.P. BALACHANDRAN, JUDGE scm
