Dated this the 1st day of January, 2009
JUDGMENT
In the Kannur Revenue District School Kalolsavam, the petitioner
was participated in the Thiruvathirakali and they were awarded second
prize with A grade. Admittedly, the appeal was not filed in time and in
this writ petition, the petitioner challenges the prize was awarded to the
first prize winner without impleading them.
The main contention is that one of the judges was the teacher of the
school in the neighbourhood of the first prize winner’s school. Even if it
be so, that by itself, cannot vitiate the judgment of the Judges. It is also
contended that the judges awarded marks after discussing with each
other. This ought to have been urged in appeal before the appellate
committee. Since the petitioner has not urged the said contention in the
appeal, that ground cannot be urged in this writ petition.
The writ petition fails and hence, it is dismissed.
ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE
