In the Kozhikode Revenue District Youth Festival, petitioner had

participated in Kuchipudi. She was given second prize with A Grade.

Aggrieved by the prize that she got, an appeal was filed and that was

rejected by Ext.P1. Counsel contends that the stage was full of sand and

that affected the performance of the dancer. It is also stated that this was

reported to the Stage Manager. However, a reading of Ext.P1, the

appellate order, shows that the stage used by all the participants were one

and the same and therefore no special prejudice has been caused to the

petitioner. That apart, it is also stated in the order that technical faults

were not reported either by the judges or by the Stage Manager. In the

light of the aforesaid facts stated in Ext.P1 order, I am not satisfied that

the petitioner has made out a case for interference.

Writ petition is dismissed.
