The Kerala High Court has granted a 16-year-old Kuchipudi dancer a second chance to compete in the State School Kalolsavam. The court intervened after a power cut during her district-level performance potentially affected her evaluation, leading to a fifth-place finish. Justice Bechu Kurian Thomas ruled that the disruption could have impacted her confidence and performance, placing her at a disadvantage. The student will now participate in the state-level competition.
