BY GOVERNMENT PLEADER SRI.BEJOY CHANDRAN THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 27/03/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: V.GIRI, J. ------------------------- W.P.(C).No.10427 of 2008 ------------------------- Dated this the 27th day of March, 2008. JUDGMENT The petitioner was appointed as a Full Time Sweeper in the Government Industrial Training Institute, on a provisional basis for a period of 179 days as evidenced by Ext.P2. Though the period of appointment is 179 days, the petitioner points out that he was appointed pursuant to a selection and therefore, he must be treated as having been regularly appointed. Reference in this regard is made to Rule 5(a) of the Special Rules dealing with Last Grade Service. He, therefore, prays for a declaration that he must be considered as having been directly recruited as provided in Rule 5(b)(ii) of the Special Rules for Kerala Last Grade Service and is entitled to continue in service as such. The issue raised by the petitioner is squarely covered against the petitioner by the judgment of this court dated 10.3.2008 in W.A.No.443/08. In the circumstances, following the dictum of the Division Bench, this writ petition is dismissed. Sd/- (V.GIRI) JUDGE sk/ //true copy// P.S. To Judge
