JUDGMENT
The petitioner herein is a Plus Two student and had participated in the
Kannur District Kalotsavam in the item Thiruvathira. The petitioner’s group
was awarded A grade, but could not get selection to participate in the State
School Kalotsavam and aggrieved by the same, this writ petition is filed. It
is alleged that there was widespread favouritism bias and other extraneous
elements in the decision making process and it is also submitted that the
previous year’s result would favour their team. Even though an appeal was
filed, that could not yield any result and it is in these circumstances, this
writ petition is filed.
2. Learned Govt. Pleader submitted that there is a difference of 12
marks between the winning team and the petitioner’s team (243 and 231)
respectively) and the petitioner’s team was awarded 5th place.
3. The allegations raised by the petitioner are not sufficient to
interfere with the result of the competition. I do not find any ground to
interfere with the same under Article 226 of the Constitution of India.
The writ petition is therefore dismissed. No costs.
(T.R. Ramachandran Nair, Judge.)
