RESPONDENTS' EXHIBITS - NIL TRUE COPY pms P.S. to Judge ANTONY DOMINIC, J ........................................ W.P.(C).1324/2013 .............................................. Dated this the 14th day of January, 2013 JUDGMENT Non-acceptance of Ext.P2 appeal filed by the petitioner, aggrieved by the prize that was awarded to her, is what is complained of in this writ petition. A reading of Ext.P2 appeal shows that result was declared on 5.1.2013 and the appeal was presented on 7.1.2013. Going by the Manual governing the conduct of the Youth Festival, appeals should be filed within one hour of declaration of the results. If that be the rule, admittedly the appeal was filed much after the time specified in the Manual had expired. In such circumstances, I do not find any merit in the writ petition. Writ petition fails and is dismissed. Sd/- ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE mrcs /true copy/ PA To Judge
