BY GOVERNMENT PLEADER SMT.M.R.SREELATHA SC SRI.ALEXANDER THOMAS THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 28/05/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: V.GIRI, J ------------------- W.P.(C).14880/2008 -------------------- Dated this the 28th day of May, 2008 JUDGMENT Petitioner responded to a notification issued by the PSC for the post of L.D.Typist in Various Departments. One of the qualifications prescribed in this regard is a certificate in Computer Word Processing given from the K.G.T.E or an equivalent qualification. It is now contended that though in the notification, PSC did not declare as to what is proposed to be treated as equivalent qualification, subsequently by notifications dated 15.12.2006 and on 30.7.2007 PSC declared that the certificates issued from certain enumerated institutions (13 in number) will be treated as equivalent to the prescribed qualifications. The certificate issued in favour of the petitioner is Ext.P6 and it is one issued by the body called All India Saksharatha Foundation. 2. Learned counsel for the PSC submits that the said body is not one of the enumerated institutions, going by the subsequent declaration of the qualifications made by W.P.(C).14880/2008 2 the PSC. In such circumstances, it cannot be said that the PSC has committed any error in not considering the petitioner as duly qualified in terms of the notification. I do not find any merit in the writ petition and the same is dismissed. V.GIRI, Judge mrcs
