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)No.1686 of 2008 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dated this the 14th day of January 2008 JUDGMENT Petitioner had participated in Group Song in District Level Higher Secondary Youth Festival and she has secured A Grade. It is stated that the reason for giving lesser marks was that they had not placed sruthi box in the bench. Absolutely no material made available to this Court to find out on what basis the petitioner is raising this contention. Petitioner has not even produced the appeal memorandum that has been filed against the decision of the judges and has neither disclosed the reasons on which the appellate committee has rejected the appeal. Since there is a total dearth of materials, I am not in a position to conclude the exact reason for giving the petitioner only A-grade. Even apart from that, there is absolutely no material to conclude that judges have erroneously assessed the performance of the petitioner. In view of this, I am not inclined to entertain the writ petition. Dismissed. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE css
