SRI.R.LAKSHMI NARAYAN GOVERNMENT PLEADER SRI.BEJOY CHANDRAN THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 11/06/2007, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: K.BALAKRISHNAN NAIR, J. ------------------------------ W.P.(C) No. 4380 of 2007-U ------------------------------------- Dated this the 11th day of June, 2007. J U D G M E N T The petitioners are physically handicapped persons appointed under Rule 9 (a) (1) of the Kerala State & Subordinate Service Rules, in September, 2006, for a period of 179 days or till the P.S.C. hands reports for duty, whichever is earlier. This writ petition is filed by them claiming regularisation in service. An appointee under Rule 9 (a) (1) of the KS & SSR has no legal right to claim regularisation, on the ground that he is a physically handicapped person. Of course, the Government have ordered regularisation of physically handicapped provisional employees who have worked between 1-1-1997 and 15-8-1998. But, the petitioners do not come under the said category. Therefore, the claim of the petitioners is plainly untenable. Accordingly, the Writ Petition fails, and it is dismissed.
