Kerala High Court Allows Dancer Second Chance
A 16-year-old girl was very upset because a power cut happened during her dance performance.
This power cut lasted only 32 seconds, but it might have affected her score.
The education department said no to her request for a fair evaluation.
So, she went to the Kerala High Court.
The court said it was fair and allowed her to dance again in the big state event called State School Kalolsavam.
The judge, Justice Bechu Kurian Thomas, helped her get a second chance.
The event starts on January 14, and she will dance in the Kuchipudi category for girls.
This makes her very happy because she can show her talent again.
