================ W.P.(C) NO. 1326 OF 201.=================== Dated this the 14th day of January, 2013 JUDGMENT
In the Ernakulam District Youth Festival, petitioner's team participated in Vrunda vadyam and secured 4th place with A Grade. They filed appeal and that was rejected by Ext.P3 order. It is challenging these proceedings, the writ petition is filed.
2. The first contention raised by the learned counsel for the petitioner is that among the three judges, two of them were not having any expertise in instrument music. First of all, petitioner has neither disclosed the details of the judges nor has he impleaded those judges. In such circumstances, I cannot accept this plea. That apart, the appellate authority has found in Ext.P3 that the judges had competence to assess the performance of the participants. Apart from all this, a reading of Ext.P3 shows that while the first prize winning team secured 247 marks, petitioner's team secured only 231 marks. In view of the marks, I am unable to interfere with Ext.P3. Writ petition is dismissed. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE Rp
