SRI..K.R.B..KAIMAL, SENIOR ADVOCATE THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 02/06/2011, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: Mn S. SIRI JAGAN, J. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - W.P.(C)No. 14752 of 2011 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dated this the 2nd day of June, 2011 J U D G M E N T The petitioner is an Advocate aspiring for competing for the post of Munsiff-Magistrate pursuant to notification inviting applications issued by the High Court. The petitioner applied pursuant to the notification. But by Ext.P1, the application has been rejected on the ground that the application is incomplete. The petitioner challenges the same. The learned standing counsel for the High Court produces before me a copy of the application submitted by the petitioner. In the same, column 10 (a) where the petitioner is to fill up the date of birth has been kept blank. Date of birth is a very crucial information in the selection process. When the petitioner has failed to fill up the column relating to date of birth that is a material defect which goes to the root of the matter. Such defect cannot be condoned or cured. As such, I do not find any infirmity in rejecting the application of the petitioner. Accordingly the writ petition is dismissed. Sd/- S. SIRI JAGAN JUDGE //True copy// P.A. TO JUDGE shg/
