JUDGMENT

Dated this the 30th day of December, 2022 The petitioner’s team participated in ‘Chavittunadakam’ competition in the School Kalolsavam of Kannur District. The petitioner could not secure the first prize.

2. The petitioner states that the stage was not set

properly. The carpet was slippery. Inadequate infrastructure even made one of the participants fall down on stage. It is for those reasons that the petitioner’s team could not secure the first prize. This Court is therefore compellable to pass appropriate orders permitting the petitioner’s team to participate in the State School Kalolsavam, contends the petitioner.

3. Heard.

4. This Court in W.P(C) No.40794 of 2022 and

connected cases has considered a similar issue and has held

that this Court cannot interfere in the conduct of School Kalolsavam on the basis of the inadequate infrastructure facilities as those issues are pure questions of fact.

5. The petitioner would further allege that the appeal preferred by the petitioner has not been properly adverted to.

6. I have perused Ext.P1 order. Ext.P1 order would

show that the Appeal Committee has adverted to all allegations raised by the petitioner in the appeal. The petitioner’s team scored 5 marks less than the team which won the 1st prize.

I do not find any reason to set aside Ext.P1 order. The writ petition is dismissed. Sd/- N.
