J U D G M E N T
The petitioner is a student of Std.X in T.M.V.M.H.S, Vettiyar inAlappuzha District. She participated in two items namely, Kerala Nadanam andMohiniyattam in the District Kalotsavam. The main grievance raised againstthe announcement of the result is that inspite of a better performance by thepetitioner she was not given first prize. It is stated that in Ext.P2 the appellateauthority has not considered the matter elaborately and the decision is a non-speaking one.
2. Heard the learned Government Pleader who appeared for therespondents. It is submitted that in Mohiniyattam the petitioner was placedfourth and no appeal was filed and, in Kerala Nadanam she was placed thirdand there is a difference of nine marks. I do not think that the bald allegationsraised by the petitioner in grounds 'A' and 'C' would be sufficient to interfere inthe matter. The petitioner has not raised any bias and mala fides is not seenalleged also. Moreover, the winner of the competition is not made a party in thewrit petition. I do not find any merit in the writ petition. The same is thereforedismissed. No costs.
