JUDGMENT
Petitioner’s team had participated in Margamkali in the district
level higher secondary youth festival. They were given 6th prize.
They had filed Ext.P3 appeal and that too has been rejected by
Ext.P4. It is stated in Ext.P3 that the stage was in a very poor
condition and that had affected their performance. It is also stated
that one of the participants had suffered a serious injury and
according to the petitioner, all these have contributed for the poor
performance.
2. Irrespective of all these, the fact remains that the petitioner
has got 6th place in the ranking. If that be so, it will be too unfair to
direct that the petitioner be allowed to participate in the State level
competition. It is also to be remembered that others too had
performed in the same stage. If that be so, the stage condition,
though not of the desired level, could not have caused any special
prejudice to the petitioner. I am not impressed by the argument
