RAVIKUMAR, J. -------------------------------------------- W.P.(C). NO.7652 OF 2010 -------------------------------------------- Dated this the 17th day of March, 2010 JUDGMENT Pursuant to Ext.P1 notification dated 5.1.2010, the petitioner who is a holder of Master Degree in Radiation Physics applied for appointment to the post of Lecturer in Radiation Physics under the third respondent. This Writ Petition has been filed when the respondents invited all the other applicants for interview and refused to invite the petitioner for the interview on the ground that he is ineligible for being considered for appointment to the said post. The contention of the petitioner is that he is eligible and entitled for being considered for appointment to the said post. The qualification prescribed as per Ext.P1 is one year training in Radiological Physics (Diploma in Radiological Physics) conducted by B.A.R.C, Bombay or equivalent or M.Sc Medical Physics I or II class and one year experience in medical Physics is desirable. 2. The petitioner is a holder of M.Sc Degree (Radiation Physics). The claim of the petitioner is that by virtue of holding W.P.(C) NO.7652/2010 2 the said degree, he is entitled to be considered for appointment to the said post. The said contention was refuted by the learned standing counsel for the Regional Cancer Centre on the ground that the executive committee of the third respondent has not so far recognised the said degree as equivalent to the prescribed qualification. However, it is made clear that in view of the representations submitted by the petitioner, the third respondent is prepared to look into the matter and for that purpose the representation submitted by the petitioner will be placed before the executive committee of the third respondent and a decision thereon will be taken after considering all these aspects. In view of the said submission, without making any observation as to the merits of the rival contentions, this Writ Petition is disposed with a direction to the third respondent to take appropriate steps for consideration of Ext.P3 by the executive committee and a decision thereon shall be made expeditiously, at any rate, within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
