W.P.(C)No.26957 of 2019
2
This writ petition is preferred seeking directions to
the third respondent to allow the students of the petitioner
school to participate in the hockey championship arranged in
connection with the Revenue District Schools Athletics & Games
Meet representing the Ernakulam Sub District.
2.
The petitioner school has not participated in
the Sub District level competition and consequently the
students from the petitioner school were not selected to
participate in the Revenue District level competition. The case
set out by the petitioner is that they could not register for
participation in the Sub District level competition for want of
sufficient notice and that therefore they shall be given an
opportunity to participate in the Revenue District level
competition representing the Sub District.
3.
The learned Government Pleader, on
instructions, submitted that the case set out by the petitioner
that they were not communicated sufficiently in advance the
requirement of the registration cannot be accepted as the
3
school has registered for other events. It was also pointed out
by the learned Government Pleader that the Revenue District
Level Competitions have already started.
4.
The team to represent the Sub District in the
Revenue District level competition is selected from among the
participants of the Sub District level inter school competition.
Admittedly, the petitioner school has not participated in the Sub
District level inter school competition. As pointed out by the
learned Government Pleader, the case set out by the petitioner
that they were not informed sufficiently in advance about the
requirement of registration cannot also be accepted as they
have registered and participated for other events in the Sub
District level competition. Further, the Revenue District level
competition has already started. In the circumstances, the writ
petition is without merit and the same is accordingly dismissed.
