GOVERNMENT PLEADER SMT. ANU SIVARAMAN THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 01/07/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: Kss P.N.RAVINDRAN, J. ------------------------------------- W.P.(C)No.17563 of 2009 ------------------------------------- Dated 1st July, 2009 JUDGMENT Heard Sri.Vinod Vallikappan, the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner and Smt.Anu Sivaraman, the learned Senior Government Pleader appearing for respondents 1 to 3. In the nature of the order that I propose to pass, it is not necessary to issue notice to or hear respondents 4 to 6. 2. The petitioner is presently working as Upper Division Clerk in the District Industries Centre at Kottayam. Her grievance is that though she had applied for admission to the Junior Diploma Course in Co-operation that commenced on 1.6.2009, she was not deputed to undergo the course though respondents 4 to 6 who are her juniors, have been deputed to undergo the said course. 3. The learned Government Pleader appearing for the official respondents submits on instructions that the petitioner had given only Kottayam as the centre and therefore as a large number of persons who are senior to the petitioner had opted for Kottayam as their centre, the petitioner could not be sent for the course at Kottayam. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that vacant seats exist at Kottayam, Palakkad and Thrissur Districts and that the petitioner may be permitted to join the course in any one of the said centres. In my opinion, this is a matter which the petitioner should W.P.(C)No.17563/2009 2 bring to the notice of the Director of Industries and Commerce, who shall if vacancies exist as stated by the petitioner, permit her to undergo the course at her risk. I accordingly dispose of this writ petition with the direction that in the event of the petitioner filing an appropriate representation before the Director of Industries and Commerce pointing out vacant seats for the Junior Diploma Course in Co-operation in the centres at Kottayam, Palakkad and Thrissur Districts, the Director of Industries and Commerce shall if such vacancies exist, depute the petitioner to undergo the said course at her risk. The registry is directed to issue a certified copy of this judgment to the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader appearing for the official respondents today itself, if applied for.
