Government Pleader has referred to appeal wherein petitioner has not raised any such contention. The difference in marks in Kerala Nadanam between the petitioner and first prize winner is 13, and in Kuchuppudi, first prize winner has secured four marks more than the petitioner. In the circumstances, I do not find any ground to interfere with the award of first prize to other candidates in the two events. W.P. is accordingly dismissed. (C.N.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR) Judge 2
