RESPONDENTS' EXHIBITS :NIL \TRUE COPY\\ PA TO JUDGE JM ANTONY DOMINIC, J ....................................................... W.P.(C).32371/2011 .............................................. Dated this the 6th day of December, 2011 JUDGMENT Petitioner's husband was appointed as ARD No.305 of Thrissur Taluk. He expired in 2001 and there upon one of her sons was appointed. On the ground that the son left India, the appointment was cancelled. An appeal filed by the appointee was also rejected by Ext.P5 dated 28.12.2008. With the dismissal of the appeal, the cancellation has become final. Subsequently, fresh notification for appointment has been issued, reserving the licence for scheduled caste candidates. It is Aggrieved by the above the writ petition is filed. 2. As far as the issuance of fresh notification is concerned, when Ext.P5 attained finality, the respondents were entitled to issue notification in order to make fresh appointment of dealers. Therefore, that part of the challenge has no substance. 3. Insofar as the reservation in favour of the scheduled caste candidates is concerned, the leaned Government Pleader submits that the endeavour of the respondents is to appoint the required W.P.(C).32371 2 percentage of scheduled caste candidates. This reason also cannot said to be invalid. In the above circumstances, I find no merit in the writ petition. It is accordingly dismissed. ANTONY DOMINIC, Judge mrcs
