TRUE COPY P.A.TO JUDGE dsn T.R.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR, J. -------------------------------------------------- W.P.(C)No.434 of 2009 -------------------------------------------------- DATED THIS THE 11th DAY OF OCTOBER, 2011 J U D G M E N T The petitioner herein is working as Junior Librarian in the Calicut University Study Centre. This Writ Petition is filed challenging Exhibits P20 and P26 wherein the post of Reader in the Department of Library and Information Science was notified. His application was rejected by Exhibit P22 memo. 2. As per interim order dated 6.1.2009, this Court allowed the petitioner to participate in the interview. He participated in the selection conducted pursuant to Exhibit P20 notification. 3. The respondents have filed a counter affidavit in the Writ Petition. 4. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Standing Counsel for the University. 5. The petitioner has produced along with I.A.No.15175/2011 Exhibit P29 proceedings of the Selection Committee. The Selection Committee found that the petitioner is not qualified; but the petitioner disputes the same. It is stated that no other persons have been selected also. 6. Even though the petitioner apprehended fresh selection W.P.(C)No.434/09 -2- process, as on today, the University has not initiated any fresh selection process in the matter. The learned counsel for the petitioner therefore prayed that the Selection Committee may be directed to take a decision on the candidature of the petitioner in terms of the Regulations and the qualifications prescribed. But, since the Selection Committee has already evaluated his qualifications and found him not suitable, the remedy of the petitioner is to approach the Syndicate of the University. I am not therefore going into the merits of the matter. It is upto the petitioner to approach the University by filing a proper representation. If a representation is filed by the petitioner before the University within a period of two weeks from today, the same will be placed before the Syndicate for appropriate decision and a decision as such will be taken within a further period of two months. The legal contentions raised herein are left open. The Writ Petition is disposed of as above. Sd/-(T.R.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR, JUDGE) dsn
