4. I find from the pleadings and the Writ Petition and Ext.P2 Appellate Order that there is no material to arrive at aconclusion that showing of expression by the members of thepetitioner's team in Vanchipattu has affected the marksawarded to the team. Further more, the Appeal Committeehas considered the appeal preferred by the petitioner andafter adverting to their complaints, has held that theallegations made by the petitioner is not sustainable.
In view of the above, this writ petition is found devoid ofany merits, and it is dismissed.
