JUDGMENT
Dated this the 30th day of December, 2022 The petitioners 1 to 10 participated in 'Vattapattu' (Boys) competition in the District School Kalolsavam of Kollam District. The petitioners could not secure first prize and therefore they are not in a position to participate in the State School Kalolsavam.
2. The petitioners state that the difference in marks between
the first prize winning team and the petitioners is only three marks. There is no reason for the Judging Committee not to give first prize to the petitioners. It is the last chance for the petitioners to participate in the State School Kalolsavam. Therefore, unless urgent interim and final orders are passed, the petitioners will be put to undue hardship and loss.
3. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the
learned Government Pleader representing the respondents. Admittedly the petitioners scored three marks less than the winning team. Only one team from a District can participate in the State School Kalolsavam. The petitioners have not alleged or :4: proved any serious irregularity or illegality in award of marks. In view of the above, the writ petition fails and is dismissed. Sd/- N.
