(C) No. 405 of 2018, as hereunder:- “Having regard to the peculiar facts and circumstances of the case, respondent no. 3 is directed to permit the petitioner / complainant to participate in the item “Padyam Chollal – Tamil – HSS General” at the Kerala State School Kalolsavam 2017-18 scheduled to be held from 6.1.2018 at Thrissur provisionally and subject to further orders that may be passed in the complaint.” 3. Being aggrieved by the orders stated supra, instant writ petitions are filed on the grounds inter alia that as per Section 7(1) of the Act, Lok Ayukta or Upa Lok Ayukta, may investigate any action in any case where a complaint involving a grievance or allegation is made in respect of such actions. W. P. (C) No. 405 of 2018 and connected cases -15- 4. As per Section 2(h) of the Act, "grievance" means a claim by a person that he sustained injustice or undue hardship in consequences of maladministration. 5. As per Section 2(b) of the Act, "allegation" means that a public servant has abused his position to obtain any gain or favour to himself or to cause undue harm or hardship, that the public servant was actuated by personal interest or improper or corrupt motives or that the public servant was guilty of corruption for favoritism, nepotism or lack of integrity. 6. As per Section 2(k) of the Act, "maladministration" means action taken or purporting to have been taken in exercise of administrative function in any case where such action or the administrative procedure was unreasonable, unjust, oppressive or improperly discriminatory or that there was willful negligence or undue delay in taking such action. 7. Ext. P1 complaint does not reveal any grievance in consequence of maladministration, any maladministration of any sought by any administrative functionary or any allegation with regard W. P. (C) No. 405 of 2018 and connected cases -16- to any public servant. In the said circumstances, neither the Lok Ayukta nor the Upa Lok Ayukta had any jurisdiction to entertain Ext. P1 complaint. 8. Petitioners have further contended that the Lok Ayukta, in terms of Section 12 of the Act, can only make recommendations to the concerned authorities and cannot make positive directions. It has been repeatedly laid down by this Court by way of judicial precedents that the Lok Ayukta could not issue positive directions. 9. It is trite law that no interim relief can be granted if there is no power to grant such final reliefs. In the said circumstances, Ext. P2 order dated 19.12.2017 impugned in W. P. (C) No. 405 of 2018, whereby a positive direction is issued to the writ petitioners to permit the 1[st] respondent in the writ petition, to take part in the School Youth Festival, is totally unsustainable in law. 10. Petitioners have also contended that even if it is deemed for argument's sake that there is "maladministration" as defined under the Act (not admitted), as per Section 12(1) of the Act, the Upa Lok Ayukta can only forward a report to the concerned authority, which W. P. (C) No. 405 of 2018 and connected cases -17- report is not also of binding nature. In the said circumstances, the Upa Lok Ayukta exceeded in jurisdiction conferred as per the Act in passing a binding interim order in the nature of Ext. P2. 11. Petitioners have submitted that as revealed from Ext. P1 complaint, the 1[st] respondent is aggrieved by the order in appeal preferred by her. According to the 1[st] respondent, there was no valid reason for denying the appeal and that the same was disposed belatedly. The order dismissing the appeal preferred by the 1[st] respondent cannot be stated to be unreasonable, unjust, oppressive or improperly discriminatory action. Even if the dismissal of the same was erroneous or wrong in law, the same cannot be classified as maladministration within the meaning of the Act. The delay in disposing off the statutory appeal was not or was due to willful negligence or undue and the same was disposed of sufficiently early before the State School Kalolsavam. The delay in disposing of the appeal occurred only because of the large number of appeals being preferred. 12. Petitioners have further submitted that the State School W. P. (C) No. 405 of 2018 and connected cases -18- Youth Festival is being conducted by the Government of Kerala and its conduct definitely involves the interests of the State. In the said circumstances, "State of Kerala" ought to have been made a party to Ext. P1 complaint. The failure to do so, apart from making Ext. P1 complaint bad, for non joinder of necessary party, is also violative of the statutory mandate in terms of Section 9(8) of the Act. Ext. P1 complaint ought not have been entertained by the Upa Lok Ayukta on this count alone. 13. It is further submitted that as per clause 11.02 of the Kerala School Youth Festival Manual, only the candidate who got "A" Grade and the topmost marks in an item in Revenue District Youth Festival can participate in the State School Youth Festival. Ext. P2 order has resulted in a situation whereby two candidates from a single revenue district will take part in a particular item. The inter se merits of candidates participating in a School Youth Festival and the rights of candidates to participate in a School Youth Festival are matters which are beyond the scope of investigation of Kerala Lok Ayukta in terms of Section 7 of the Act. W. P. (C) No. 405 of 2018 and connected cases -19- 14. It is also submitted that the Lok Ayukta is a creation of the Act and has no inherent jurisdiction. It cannot assume any jurisdiction to itself. It cannot decide upon matters in relation to which no powers are conferred on it as per the Act. The jurisdiction of the Kerala Lok Ayukta and Upa Lok Ayukta is circumscribed by Sections 7(1), (2) and (3) of the Act. Ext. P1 complaint does not invite any cause of action in terms of Sections 7(1), (2) and (3) of the Act. 15. By inviting the attention of this Court to the judgment made in W. P. (C) No. 18950 of 2018 dated 08.06.2018, Mr. V. Tekchand, learned Senior Government Pleader, submitted that in similar circumstances, when interim orders were passed by the Lok Ayukta directing participation of students in the programmes, a Hon'ble Division Bench of this Court has passed detailed orders and in such circumstances, prayed to lay down a law on the aspect of entertaining a complaint before the Lok Ayukta in respect of allegation or grievance regarding the assessment of performance of the participants in the programmes or Youth Festivals conducted. 16. Reliance was also placed on a decision of this Court in W. P. (C) No. 405 of 2018 and connected cases -20- ## **Sweety v. State of Kerala [1994 KHC 216]** , wherein it is held as follows:- “4. I would prefer to deal with this question also from a different angle. Every college or school authorities have discretion to adopt any rule or procedure to regulate the curricular or extra-curricular activities of students in their institutions. The educational authorities have also power to frame rules or by laws for their own guidance in cases where State level or District level functions or festivals are organised to promote extra- curricular activities among students. Under whatever name they are called, they are purely rules, intended to serve internal discipline among the students. The persons or authorities functioning under such rules shall have absolute freedom to control and check the affairs of the students participating in such extra curricular activities. Of course this freedom is subject to inherent and in built restrictions. In maintaining internal discipline among students who participate in such functions or festivals, the persons or authorities in charge may adopt different modes for the conduct of the affairs in an orderly manner. According to me such persons or authorities shall not be called upon to explain their conduct in the discharge of their functions In exercise of powers available to this court under Art.226 of the Constitution. Of course the position is different if there is violation of fundamental rights of the students attending such festivals or functions by the action of such persons or authorities. In such extreme cases this court will be justified if interference is W. P. (C) No. 405 of 2018 and connected cases -21- made. I fail to see any of such questions in the present writ petitions. 5. While dealing with these cases it came to my notice that there are functionaries like 'Judges', 'Appeal Committee', etc. functioning under the rules framed for the conduct of competitions. Those bodies cannot be equated with ordinary judicial or quasi judicial bodies. As pointed out earlier, they are purely internal bodies of the educational institutions intended to subserve discipline among students in situations where disputes are likely to occur. The exercise of their functions is completely confined to the field of Youth Festival where the discipline is absolutely necessary for the proper conduct of different competitions among the students. The decisions will have to be taken in certain cases on the spot and I fail to see how such decisions can be challenged in these proceedings. The assessment of performance of the participants are made by the 'judges'. Their wisdom and reason are final in such internal matters of educational institutions. However as an abundant caution the appeals are provided before the 'appeal committee' against the decision of the 'Judges'. The decision of the 'appeal' committee' shall be accepted as conclusive and final by the students and all others. That is purely a matter of observance of internal discipline. This court, according to me, will not be justified in interfering with such assessment of performance made by the appeal committee in their discretionary powers. 6. In these cases I have noticed from the tabulated W. P. (C) No. 405 of 2018 and connected cases -22- statement filed on behalf of the General Convener, 33[rd] Youth Festival, that the petitioners in O. P. Nos. 29/93 and 34/93 have not filed appeals as provided under the Rules. Therefore the assessment or performance made by the judges in their cases are final. in the case of petitioners in O. P. Nos.21/93, 81/93, 135/93 and 143/93, the appeals filed by them were rejected by appeal committee. Thus the assessment made in their cases by the committee has become final and conclusive. In any case reappraisal of assessment of merit of the competitors by this court is not called for in view of the reasons afore-mentioned. 7. Under the above circumstances, I have no option except to dismiss these petitions. They are accordingly dismissed.” 17. After considering the averments and material on record, and in particular, the direction issued by the Lok Ayukta regarding participation of students in a programme, a Hon'ble Division Bench of this Court in W. P. (C) No. 18950 of 2018 dated 08.06.2018, ordered thus:- “7. We do not find any merit in the contentions. Incidentally, it is relevant to note that this Court has come across various similar orders being passed by the Upa Lok Ayukta, Human Rights Commission, Civil Courts and such other bodies, as a matter of course, granting permission to the lost contestants W. P. (C) No. 405 of 2018 and connected cases -23- to participate in the youth festivals at higher levels and on the strength of such orders, they, who otherwise are not qualified for having failed to secure the 'first place' to have the eligibility to participate in the next level of participation secure undue benefit. The adverse circumstances resulted by virtue of such course have been highlighted by this Court on many an occasion, including as to the unsettling of the equilibrium in the time schedule fixed for conducting the festival. 8. The students in favour of whom such interim orders are passed may be persons, as in the instant case, the third prize winner or those who occupy much lower level. The student who got the second place or such other higher position as the case may be, if belongs to poor strata of the society, he will not be in a position to challenge the verdict passed at the feeder level and might be resting at home cursing his fate. In other words, the students who are awarded/rated with the 'second' or such other higher position are made to stay at home, the contestants at still lower level are being permitted to participate in the event. This will perpetuate injustice, compromising with the better talent. The interim orders being passed under such circumstances as a matter of course, are not at all in the best interest of the deserving lot, catering to the interested persons, who can afford to bear the cost of litigation, which is to be taken serious note of. 9. The interim orders passed by such authorities/quasi judicial bodies still virtually provide for increasing the number of participants in a given event or programme, where the number of W. P. (C) No. 405 of 2018 and connected cases -24- permissible participants stands restricted by the organizers. It is to be noted, as part of illustration, the participants in a specific event may be '14' of '16', having secured the first position at the district level [representing the different districts/revenue/educational districts] and the time schedule will be fixed in such a manner so as to complete the event to be followed by such other events to be conducted on the same stage, on the very same day. If the students occupying only lower position in the feeder level, are also permitted to participate as a matter of course [by Lok Ayukta or such other forum], there is a chance of increase in the total number of participants even beyond the logical limits. As a natural consequence, the time schedule will get unsettled and the event may go unending, even to be carried to the next day, adversely affecting the performance of other children who are waiting in the queue [who are otherwise qualified by virtue of their own merits, having secured the first position at feeder level] and also causing hardships to the members in the judging panel. This cycle will continue, resulting in undue delay in commencement and completion of the program in respect of the events scheduled on the same date, which has been deprecated by this Court on many an occasion. 10. The learned Government Pleader submits that the organizers are finding it extremely difficult to have the events conducted as per the time schedule, because of such orders and in the said circumstance, the State/Department has already approached this Court filing a Writ Petition projecting the grievance which is pending consideration. We do not intend to W. P. (C) No. 405 of 2018 and connected cases -25- express anything further in this regard, as the issue is pending. We have referred to all these aspects only in the given context, to assert that the petitioner, after getting interim order from the Upa Lok Ayukta to participate in the event, was not at all justified in not remitting the process charges on time and in keeping himself away from the proceedings pending before the Upa Lok Ayukta. As mentioned already, the conduct displayed by the petitioner stands deprecated by the Lok Ayukta itself and it was accordingly, that the I.A.s filed have been dismissed as per Ext. P4, which does not call for any interference. The Writ Petition fails and it is dismissed accordingly.” 18. Section 7 of the Lok Ayukta Act, 1999, deals with matters which may be investigated by the Lok Ayukta and Upa Lok Ayukta. Aspect as to whether a complaint involves a grievance or an allegation is made in respect of such actions or such action can be or would have been in the opinion of the Upa Lok Ayukta, the subject of a grievance or an allegation, can be entertained by the Lok Ayukta, only after examining the facts involved, supporting documents, or in other words, in our opinion, on case to case basis and no law can be laid down by this Court that the Lok Ayukta or the Upa Lok Ayukta, has no powers to entertain any complaint involving grievance of an allegation concerning the assessment of performance of participants in respect of W. P. (C) No. 405 of 2018 and connected cases -26- any festival or programme organized at District / State Level. 19. However, as a Hon'ble Division Bench of this Court in exercise of the powers under Article 226 of the Constitution of India, has already taken note of various similar orders passed by the authorities under various Acts and made observations, we are of the view that the authorities under the Acts, namely Upa Lok Ayukta, Human Rights Commission, Juvenile Justice Board, Civil Courts etc., should take note of the observations and directions issued in the judgment dated 08.06.2018 in W. P. (C) No. 18950 of 2018 while considering the complaints or entertaining any complaint regarding grievance or allegation in respect of the participation of students in cultural or other events at District / State Level, subject matter before the above referred authorities. 20. Record of proceedings shows that there is a stay of the order of the Upa Lok Ayukta dated 19.12.2017 in I. A. No. 2236 of 2017 in complaint No. 1468 of 2017 permitting the complainant to participate in the item “Padyam Chollal – Tamil – HSS General”. As the event is already over, there is no need to go into the merits of the writ petition. W. P. (C) No. 405 of 2018 and connected cases -27- Writ petitions are disposed of accordingly. Registry is directed to circulate the orders of this Court to the Hon'ble Lok Ayukta, Hon'ble Upa Lok Ayukta, Hon'ble Human Rights Commission and Juvenile Justice Boards. Sd/- **S.
