ALEXANDER THOMAS THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 10/01/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: V.GIRI, J ------------------- W.P.(C).1292/2008 -------------------- Dated this the 10th day of January, 2008 JUDGMENT Petitioner applied for the post of Lower Division Typist in various departments pursuant to Ext.P1 notification issued by the PSC. One of the qualifications prescribed therein is a pass in Computer Word Processing. Admittedly, petitioner does not have the prescribed qualification. 2. Subsequently PSC had issued a notification dated 30.7.2007 enumerating certain institutions, the course offered by which, were decided to be treated as equivalent to the prescribed qualification. Petitioner relies on Ext.P5 certificate, which is one issued by the Lal Bahadur Sastri Education Foundation. Learned Standing Counsel for the PSC placed before me the notification dated 30.7.2007 issued by the PSC enumerating 13 institutions. Lal Bahadur Sastri Education Foundation which is a private institution is not one of the enumerated institutions. In the result, I do not find any error in the W.P.(C).1292/2008 2 stand taken by the PSC that the petitioner is not qualified in terms of the notification. Writ petition is therefore dismissed. V.GIRI, Judge mrcs
