ALEXANDER THOMAS THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 24/01/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: V.GIRI, J ------------------- W.P.(C).2898/2008 -------------------- Dated this the 24th day of January, 2008 JUDGMENT Petitioner applied for the post of L.D.Typist in various departments pursuant to Ext.P1 notification issued by the PSC on 31.12.2005. One of the qualifications required in this regard is, pass in computer word processing. PSC had subsequently issued a notification dated 15.12.2006 and thereafter on 30.7.2007 declaring the course conducted by certain institutions as equivalent to the prescribed qualifications. 13 institutions were enumerated in the notification dated 30.7.2007. Certificate of competency, relied on by the petitioner in the present case is Ext.P5, stated to have been issued by the Indira Gandhi National Education Trust. The said body is not one of the enumerated institutions in the notification dated 30.7.2007. In the result, I do not find any error in the stand taken by the PSC that the petitioner is not qualified. Writ petition fails and the same is dismissed. V.GIRI, Judge mrcs
