In W.P.(C) No.35633 of 2017, seeking similar
reliefs as prayed for in this writ petition, this Court has held so, vide judgment dated 13.11.2017:
“3. The consortium of schools obviously carry on such Kalotsav to inculcate in the students, interest in the fine arts and to give a platform to the children inclined artistically to perform in a competitive environment. Undue significance to the competitions carried on need not be given especially since it does not in any manner influence the academic grades. There is also no reason to confer the competitions the colour of a legal battle with an appeal, revision and so on and so forth. This Court does not find any valid reason to invoke the extra-ordinary jurisdiction under Article 226 of the Constitution of India to interfere in the conduct of a Kalotsav (art festival) which would denude it of a healthy

competitive environment. There is aslo no question of grace marks being granted on the basis of the participation. This Court does not find any reason to interfere with matter. “
Following the aforesaid view, this writ petition
would stand dismissed. No Costs.
