RESPONDENT: ------------- THE KERALA PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION REPRESENTED BY ITS SECRETARY,OFFICE OF THE KERALA PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION,PATTOM THIRUVANANTHAPURAM. BY ADV. SRI.ALEXANDER THOMAS,SC,KPSC THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 08/02/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: V.GIRI, J ------------------- W.P.(C).2702/2008 -------------------- Dated this the 8th day of February, 2008 JUDGMENT Petitioner responded to Ext.P1 notification issued by the PSC inviting applications for the post of L.D.Typist. One of the qualifications required for the said post as per the notification is a pass in Computer Word Processing. According to the petitioner, she is a First Class Post Graduate Diploma holder in Computer applications from the Electronic Research & Development Centre of India, which, going by Ext.P7, is an autonomous Scientific Society of the Ministry of Information Technology, Government of India. Prima-facie I agree with the submission of the learned counsel for the petitioner in this regard. But in the light of the fact that PSC has, in their counter affidavit, expressed willingness to re- examine the petitioner’s case, I do not think it is necessary to finally express my opinion on this aspect. 2. In the result, writ petition is disposed of directing the first respondent, PSC, to re-consider the petitioner’s W.P.(C).2702/2008 2 case with reference to the notification and subsequent clarification issued on 30.7.2007 and after hearing the petitioner, a decision may be taken on Ext.P5 at the earliest, at any rate, within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. If the petitioner’s claim is found to be acceptable, necessary consequential action will have to be taken to incorporate her name in the final rank list for the post of L.D.Typist in Thiruvananthapuram District, already published by the PSC.
