--------------------------------------- W.P.(C). NO. 31378 of 2012 ---------------------------------------- Dated this the 28th day of December, 2012 JUDGMENT
The petitioner was a contestant in the event 'Cartoon', in the Karunagappally Sub District School Kalotsavam 2012-13. The petitioner having not obtained the required grade, is unable to move on to the next stage of the competition. The petitioner filed an appeal which was not considered by the 2nd respondent. The petitioner's grievance is that despite having not obtained the grade; she be allowed to participate in the District School Kalotsavam. Comparison of relative merit with respect to art forms and an enquiry into circumstances fortuitous or otherwise with respect to such competitions are not within the premise of this Court. This Court is of the opinion that this is not a fit case to invoke the jurisdiction under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. However, if any appeal has been filed and is pending consideration, the 2nd respondent is duty bound to consider it, if not already done. W.P.(C). NO. 31378 o”
