TO JUDGE vps P.N.RAVINDRAN, J. --------------------------- W.P.(C) No. 20940 OF 2011 -------------------------- Dated this the 2nd day of August, 2011 J U D G M E N T In this writ petition the petitioner challenges the appointment of respondents 3 to 7 to various posts in the first respondent co- operative society. The first contention raised by the petitioner is that by Ext.P1 notification only two post of Peons and one post of Salesman were notified and therefore only three vacancies could have been filled up and not five, as was done in the instant case. The second contention raised is that the written test was conducted by an individual and not by an outside agency. The third contention raised is that the notification inviting applications was not given wide publicity. 2. The materials produced by the petitioner establish that a written test pursuant to Ext.P1 notification was held on 18.7.2009, respondents 3 to 5 were appointed on 22.7.2009, the 6th respondent was appointed on 9.1.2010 and the 7th respondent was appointed on 8.1.2010. By now respondents 3 to 7 would have completed their period of probation in the posts in which they were appointed. The challenge to the appointment of respondents 3 to 7 is in my opinion highly belated. That apart, the petitioner was not an WPC No.20940/2011 2 applicant for appointment to the post. The petitioner has no case that he was unaware of Ext.P1 notification. His case is that Desabhimani and Janayugam dailies do not have wide circulation. In such circumstances, I find no reason to entertain the writ petition. The writ petition fails and is accordingly dismissed. P.N.RAVINDRAN, (JUDGE) vps
