GOVT.PLEADER SRI.ARAVINDKUMAR BABU THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 25/06/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ================ W.P.(C) NO. 19822 OF 2010 (C) ===================== Dated this the 25th day of June, 2010 J U D G M E N T Petitioners have rendered provisional service for the period from 2/3/90 to 6/3/97and 2/3/90 to 24/3/97. They are appointed on regular basis from 2001 and are continuing in service. They claimed that the provisional services rendered should be treated as qualifying service. That was rejected, and therefore, the writ petition is filed. 2. Admittedly Government Decision No.2 to Rule 33 of Part I KSR, which provided for counting provisional service was deleted w.e.f. 1/10/94 and as the petitioners commenced their regular service subsequent thereto, they cannot aspire for counting the provisional services as qualifying service. In that view of the matter, the stand taken by the respondents in Ext.P3 cannot be faulted. Writ petition is dismissed. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE Rp
