DEEPA THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 02/03/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. -------------------------------------------------- W.P.(C) NO.4458 OF 2010(F) -------------------------------------------------- Dated this the 2nd day of March, 2010 J U D G M E N T Petitioner submits that he has registered with the Town Employment Exchange, Kochi on 21.6.1984 and was granted registration No.14942/92. According to the petitioner despite having registered way back in 1984 and included in the supplementary seniority list for class-IV employees for 2002- 2004, his name has not been sponsored for employment purposes. According to the petitioner, at the time of making new seniority list his name will not be considered and if so done he will loose his chances for employment. 2. Learned Government Pleader has obtained instruction in the matter. It is submitted that as contended by the petitioner, he has registered himself in the employment exchange on 21.6.1984 and was included in the class-IV employees' list for the year 2002- 2004. It is also stated that the last person sponsored from the list was registered on 12.7.1978 and it was only because the petitioner's turn did not reach that the petitioner was not sponsored WPC.No. 4458/2010 :2 : for employment purposes. 3. A candidate can have grievance only when his seniority has been overlooked. In this case admittedly, petitioner being a scheduled caste candidate, can have grievance only if any person registered subsequent to 21.6.1984 is sponsored for employment. Going by the instruction of the Government Pleader, the last scheduled caste candidate sponsored, was registered on 12.7.1978. It is therefore evident that the claim of the petitioner has not been overlooked. In such a situation, there arise no question of issuing any direction as sought for by the petitioner. Writ petition fails and is dismissed. (ANTONY DOMINIC) JUDGE vi/ WPC.No. 4458/2010 :3 :
