JUDGMENT Radhakrishnan,J. Writ Petition was preferred by the appellant seeking a writ of mandamus directing the respondents to earmark 3% vacancies to the post of Munsiff-Magistrate in the Kerala Judicial Service for the persons having disabilities and also for a writ of certiorari to quash Ext.P1 notification to the extent it does not provide 3% reservation to the persons with disability, to the post of Munsiff-Magistrate in the Kerala Judicial service. Government produced Ext.R2(a) Government Order dated 6.8.2005. Government Order would show that the Government had constituted an Expert Committee to identify posts for applying the percentage of reservation to the persons with disabilities. The Committee has identified a first batch of 20 posts in various Departments in public services for 3% reservation in Class I and Class II posts. Post of Munsiff-Magistrate has not been included in the said list and therefore this Court cannot grant relief prayed for by the WA 1808/07 -: 2 :- petitioner. We make it clear that it is for the Committee to identify posts, for which the reservation could be extended. Writ Appeal is dismissed. K.S.Radhakrishnan, Judge. Antony Dominic, Judge. ess 23/7
