The Kathaprasangam team captained by the petitioner participated in the Kozhikode Sub-District School Kalolsavam, and secured A Grade. Dissatisfied with the result, the petitioner preferred an appeal, which the appeal committee rejected as per Ext.P2.

2. Learned counsel for the petitioner contended that the performance of the petitioner's team was affected by the technical issues with the sound system. In spite of the said ground being urged in the appeal, Ext.P2 order was passed without adverting to that issue.

3. Learned Government Pleader contended that, innumerable number of appeals are filed after each competition item and members of the appeal committee being Government officials, have other duties. They are bestowed with the duties in connection with the election to the local bodies in the State and the ongoing Special Intensive Revision of the electoral roll. Therefore, failure to pass a detailed order cannot be taken as a ground for interfering with the decision.

4. A perusal of the order passed by the appeal committee shows that the order was passed after verifying the State Manager's report and on being convinced that there were no issues as alleged in the appeal
