THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 31/03/2011, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: T.R. RAMACHANDRAN NAIR, J. --------------------------------------- W.P.(C) No.3951 OF 2011 --------------------------------------- Dated this the 31st day of March, 2011. J U D G M E N T The petitioners have approached this Court aggrieved by their non selection for appointment as permanent worker. Petitioners' case is that they had participated in the test conducted including 100m. race. It is their case that they have come successful in the test conducted and therefore, the steps taken for not allowing the petitioners to participate in the further process of selection cannot be justified. 2. A statement has been filed on behalf of the respondents 2 to 5 wherein it is pointed out that the petitioners did not qualify the 100m. race as stipulated and they were not eligible to take part in the Skill Tests. It is further pointed out that the entire selection process consisted of 870 men candidates and conducted from 17.1.2011 to 1.2.2011 and 666 men candidates were qualified for the Skill Test and Interview after conducting the Screening Test. It is also pointed out that the petitioners have W.P.(C) No.3951/2011 2 not lodged any complaint before the Selection Committee Members who were present at the time of Screening Test. In the light of the above factual scenario, the assertion by the petitioners that they are entitled for participation in the further process of selection cannot be accepted. Therefore, this writ petition is dismissed. T.R. RAMACHANDRAN NAIR JUDGE smp
