DIRECTOR OF HEALTH SERVICES, THIRUVANANTHAPURAM-695 001. 2. DISTRICT MEDICAL OFFICER, KOLLAM. ADV. SMT. N. SUDHA DEVI - GOVT.PLEADER. THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 06/06/2011, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S. SIRI JAGAN, J. ------------------------------------------- W.P.(C) No.15032 OF 2011 ---------------------------------------------- Dated this the 6th day of June, 2011 JUDGMENT The petitioners are Junior Public Health Nurses Gr.II working in Kollam District. They have been promoted as Junior Public Health Nurses Gr.I and posted to Palakkad and Thrissur Districts. They are challenging the same on the ground that there are vacancies in Kollam District itself and therefore, they should be accommodated at Kollam. I do not think that a person, who has been posted on promotion, can as of right claim that he should be accommodated in a particular vacancy. As such, there is no merit in this writ petition and accordingly, the same is dismissed. S. SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE acd
