KOZHIKODE: The results of those who came to participate in the state school arts festival with a court order have been withheld. The report is that 94 results were withheld by the organizers. The organizers explanation is that the decision is as per the direction of the high court. However, the results of those who have appealed through the education department have not been withheld. This is the first time the results of those who came with the court order are withheld.

Even if the withheld results are declared, they will not be included in the district or school points. The organizers said they have the AG's legal advice in this regard and court’s intervention is needed for the grace marks.

Meantime, Kozhikode has taken up the first position from Kannur. Among schools, Palakkad Gurukulam School has come first and Carmel School in Thiruvananthapuram is just behind.
