GOVT.PLEADER SRI.ARAVINDKUMAR BABU THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 07/06/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ================ W.P.(C) NO. 17508 OF 2010 (K) ===================== Dated this the 7th day of June, 2010 J U D G M E N T The grievance of the petitioners is that for the post of Part Time Sweeper, when requisition was made by the 1st respondent and candidates were sponsored, persons younger to them have been sponsored. 2. If seniority is the criteria for sponsoring candidates, such seniority has to be based on the date of registration and the petitioners have no case that anybody who has registered subsequent to them have been sponsored. If that be so, I do not find any error on the part of the 2nd respondent even if it is assumed that a person junior to them going by the age, but senior by registration, has been sponsored. Writ petition fails and is dismissed. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE Rp
