¶32

The petitioner has approached this Court with the following prayers:

¶33

“(a) Call for the records leading to Exhibit P3 order, scrutinize the same and quash the same by the issuance of a writ in the nature of certiorari or any other appropriate writ, order or direction;

¶34

(b) Issue a writ of mandamus or any other appropriate writ, order or direction, directing the 3^rd respondent to permit the petitioner to participate in the Kathaprasangam in State School Kalolsavam scheduled to be held from 15.01.2015 to 19.01.2015 at Kozhikode provisionally.”

¶35

When the matter came up for consideration before

¶36

this Court on 13.01.2015, the following order was passed:

¶37

“The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the ground raised by the petitioner as to the defective sound system was the very same ground raised by the Team who was awarded 2^nd prize and whose appeal has been allowed by the Appeal Committee. GP seeks for time to get instruction.

¶38

Post tomorrow.”

¶39

Subsequently, another order was passed on

¶43

on a provisional basis. The said order reads as follows:

¶44

“The learned Govt. Pleader points out that one of the three Judges has awarded better marks to the petitioner than the first prize winner while another Judge has awarded equal marks. It is also conceded that the appeal preferred by the second prize winner has already been allowed. The learned counsel for the petitioner points out that said appeal was on similar ground as raised by the petitioner.

¶45

After hearing both the sides, this court finds that a prima facie case has been made out by the petitioner. In the said circumstances, there will be an interim order, as prayed for.

¶46

Post after two weeks.”

¶48

In the above circumstances, no further orders are necessary. The writ petition stands closed making the interim orders absolute.
