The petitioner participated in the item Bharathanatyam(Girls) in the Chevayur Sub District School Kalotsavam and she secured only 2nd price. There is a difference of four marks in the mark secured by the petitioner and the participant who secured first position. The petitioner filed an appeal before the Appeal Committee alleging bias and favouritism of Judges. The said appeal was rejected by Exhibit P3 order, which is under challenge in this Writ Petition. 2. I heard arguments of the learned counsel for the petitioner and also the learned Government Pleader appearing for the respondents.
3. As I have already noticed, there is a difference of four marks between the petitioner and the student who secured first position in the item Bharathanatyam(Girls). The learned counsel for the petitioner would contend that the floor was unsuitable for performance and due to skidding petitioner could not perform the W.P.(C).No.35366/14 -2-
item well. It was after considering the grievances of the petitioner, the Appeal Committee passed Exhibit P3 order rejecting the appeal.
4. The defects if at all any, with regard to the stage , was equally applicable to all participants. The petitioner has no specific case of malafides against either the Judges or the Appeal Committee. When the experts in the field have assessed the performance of the participants and awarded marks, this Court will not be justified in interfering with such assessments made by them, in the absence of any vitiating circumstances.
I find absolutely no merit in this Writ petition and the same is dismissed.
