No.20360 of 2010 (T) --------------------------------- Dated, this the 30th day of June, 2010 J U D G M E N T Petitioner was a Typist under the 1st respondent, who appears to have been posted as Manager by Ext.P1. Prayer sought in the writ petition is that she should be given regular promotion as Manager relaxing the qualifications prescribed. Representation made in this behalf is Ext.P2. 2. From Ext.P5 communication, it is seen that the request made by the petitioner for relaxation of qualifications has been rejected on the basis that relaxation of Rule 181 of Keala Co- operative Societies Rules cannot be given in respect of employees. Going by the terms of the Rule, the stand taken by the respondents in Ext.P5 cannot be faulted. If that be so, Ext.P5 cannot be interfered with. Even otherwise, when a qualification has been prescribed, the Authorities cannot depart from the prescribed qualification unless otherwise permitted by the Rules. In this case, Rules do not permit the relaxation sought for. WP(C) No.20360/2010 -2- Therefore, the petitioner has no right to claim relaxation of qualification on the rigor of Rule 181 of the Keala Co-operative Societies Rules. The writ petition fails and is accordingly dismissed. (ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE) jg
