TALUK STATISTICAL OFFICER, KALPETTA THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 02/06/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: V.GIRI, J ------------------- W.P.(C).16368/2008 -------------------- Dated this the 2nd day of June, 2008 JUDGMENT Petitioner is appointed to the post of Investigator Grade-II by Ext.P3 order for a period of 180 days. The said period is due to expire on 3.6.2008. She seeks a direction to the respondents to permit her to continue in service till regular PSC hands report for duty. This Court has repeatedly declared that the provisional appointees have no right to be retained in service beyond the tenure of appointment or till PSC hands join duty. 2. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is a physically handicapped person and therefore, the same should be taken into account while considering her request. This may be true. But the appointment of the petitioner was not pursuant to any special recruitment as such. In the result, I do not find any reason to interfere with Ext.P4 as such. 3. Nevertheless, if the petitioner represents the case before the first respondent, the Deputy Director, with W.P.(C).16368/2008 2 emphasis on the fact that she is a physically handicapped person within one week from today, first respondent shall pay attention to the same and try to accommodate the petitioner in a suitable way, taking note of the fact that she is a physically handicapped person. Subject to the above, writ petition is disposed of. V.GIRI, Judge mrcs
