Dated this the 2nd day of January, 2009.
JUDGMENT
In the Alleppy District Youth Festival of Higher
Secondary School at the High School level, petitioner was a
participant. Her item was Group dance and she got second
prize with A Grade. Aggrieved by the prize that was given
an appeal was filed and that was rejected by Ext.P2.
Counsel contends that the stage was covered by tarpaulin
and therefore the candidates could not perform well. It is
also stated that the judgments were not unbiased or
competent.
2. As far as the stage is concerned, in several cases it
has been found that the stages were covered with
tarpaulin. Since all the participants have performed in the
same stage, I am not in a position to accept the contention
that any special prejudice has been caused to the
WP(c).No.51/2009 /2/
petitioner. In so far as the judges are concerned, first of all,
none of the judgments are impleaded in this writ petition.
3. Counsel contends that Ext.P1 news report itself
discloses the incompetence and biased attitude of the judges.
I am not in a position to take cognizance on the news report
and judge on the competence of the judges on that basis.
That apart no material has been produced in support of the
allegations raised by the petitioner.
Writ Petition fails and is dismissed.
