JUDGMENT Petitioner claims admission to M.D. Tuberculosis and Respiratory Diseases. His grievance in this writ petition is against his inclusion only at Sl.No.3 of Ext.P3 the provisional seniority list and Ext.P5 final seniority list. His case is that the service rendered by him at the T.B Unit, Thodupuzha during the period 16.2.2001 to 16.2.2004 has been excluded while reckoning his seniority for including in Exts.P2 and P5. 2. Government Pleader has today made available before me the details furnished by the Petitioner while submitting the application. It is seen that, regarding his regular service, the Petitioner has furnished the following details. /2/ Post Held/Office Address/ from To station. -------------------------------------------------- Asst.

On the other hand going by the declaration he has made during the aforesaid period he has worked as an Assistant Surgeon at the Primary Health Centre, Poochapara in Idukki District. If that be so, the respondents cannot be faulted for reckoning the eligibility, without giving credit to the aforesaid period, when the petitioner worked at Thodupuzha.
