Radhakrishnan, J. =================================== O.P.No.8197 of 2003 =================================== Dated this the 26th day of July, 2007. JUDGMENT The only issue that survives for decision at the final hearing of this case is as to whether the prior service of the petitioner in an aided school was entitled to be counted for granting of weightage in Government service. This issue is covered against the petitioner by the judgment of this Court in W.A.No.288 of 2005 dated 15-2-2007. The prior service in the aided school cannot be counted for the purpose of earning higher grade in the Government service. In the result, this writ petition fails. The same is hence dismissed.
