RESPONDENTS' EXHIBITS : NIL TRUE COPY P.A.TO JUDGE dsn T.R.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR, J. -------------------------------------------------- W.P.(C)No.31525 of 2011 -------------------------------------------------- DATED THIS THE 29th DAY OF NOVEMBER, 2011 JUDGMENT The petitioner herein seeks for a direction to the respondents to permit her to write the examination to be held on 8.12.2011 to the post of HSST Zoology (Senior & Junior) at GHSS, Azhchavattom, Kozhikode. It is stated that the petitioner had sent her photograph along with the application for affixing the same in the identification certificate. Exhibit P2 is a copy of the identification certificate obtained by the petitioner through on line. Exhibit P3 is the copy of the admission ticket along with the instructions to the candidates. 2. According to the petitioner, the photograph shown in Exhibit P2 is small in size and it is not easy for identification. It is also stated that the petitioner went and met the Principal of the examination centre and showed her identification certificate, so as to verify whether the school will permit her to write the examination. It is averred that the principal told the petitioner to produce the identification certificate containing a proper W.P.(C)No.31525/11 -2- photograph and when the petitioner expressed her inability to produce such a certificate, the Principal also showed her helplessness in the matter. 3. The petitioner has produced various documents to prove her identity such as SSLC Book, passport etc. and a certificate issued by the Village Officer, a copy of which has been produced as Exhibit P6. 4. Heard the learned Standing Counsel for the Public Service Commission, who submitted that the photograph produced reflected in Exhibit P2 is the print out of the uploaded matter. It is therefore submitted that the Commission or the Chief Superintendent cannot be faulted at all. My attention was invited to instructions given in Exhibit P3, namely, Clauses 5 and 6. 5. Evidently, the instructions to candidates will have to be observed and a candidate is expected to produce identity proof, etc. going by instructions 5 and 6. As per the said instructions, it is upto the Chief Superintendent or other authorised Officers to admit a candidate for the examination on satisfying various aspects. It is therefore clear that the W.P.(C)No.31525/11 -3- instructions to the candidates are binding on the parties. 6. Beyond observing as above, this Court at this stage will not be justified in issuing any direction as sought for by the petitioner. In that view of the matter, the Writ Petition is disposed of recording the fact that the instructions as provided in Exhibit P3, namely clauses 5 and 6 will govern the matter.
