Dated this the 30th day of July, 2010
J U D G M E N T
The petitioner claims to be the Secretary of Kaliyarangu
Natakavedhi, which is an organization of performing artists. They
performed dramas in various stages. Recently the 2nd respondent
conducted the Kerala State Armature Drama Festival 2010. The
petitioner’s troop participated in the competition. Out of the 18 dramas
staged, only six dramas will be allowed to participate in the final
competition. The petitioner’s drama came in the seventh place. The
petitioner’s grievance in this writ petition is that another drama with
title, “Makkal Koottam” which was inferior in quality compared to the
petitioner’s drama, was included in the sixth position, which, according
to the petitioner, is on account of the influence of a General Council
Member, who was the director of that drama, on the judges. The
petitioner has filed Ext.P6 representation in this regard before the 2nd
respondent. The petitioner seeks a direction to the 2nd respondent to
consider the same.
2. Admittedly, there is no procedure of filing appeal against
the findings of the judges of the competition for deciding as to out of
the two dramas which was better. There is no material before me
except the averment of the petitioner to decide as to which of the two
w.p.c.23868/2010 2
is the better drama. I do not think that this Court is competent to
decide as to which of the two dramas is the better one on the basis of
affidavits of parties. In such circumstances, I do not think that I can
give any relief to the petitioner in this writ petition. Accordingly, this
writ petition is dismissed.
