THE DISTRICT OFFICER,KERALA PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION,KANNUR-670 001. BY ADV. SRI. ALEXANDER THOMAS, S.C. THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 19/11/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S. Siri Jagan, J. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= W.P(C) No. 32147 of 2010 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Dated this, the 19th day of November, 2010. J U D G M E N T Petitioner applied for selection to the post of Life Stock Inspector Grade II, pursuant to a notification issued by the Public Service Commission inviting applidations. A written test was conducted in which the petitioner participated. According to the petitioner, the petitioner has correctly filled up the OMR data sheet, but the petitioner's candidature has been invalidated on the ground of “multiple bubbling of alpha code/alpha code not bubbled.” The petitioner disputes the said fact. According to the petitioner, the petitioner has rightly filled up the OMR data sheet. 2. In view of the assertion by the petitioner, I directed the standing counsel for the Public Service Commission to produce for the verification by the Court, the OMR answer sheet, pursuant to which a photo copy of the same has been produced. From the same, it is seen that the petitioner has made a mess of the OMR sheet in filling up the alpha code. It appears that originally she wrote (C) and bubbled the (C) column and later on erased the (C) column itself and converted (C) into (D) and then bubbled (D) column. As such, the whole thing has been wrongly done. That being so, I do not find any merit in the contention of the petitioner that she has bubbled the OMR data sheet correctly. The question as to whether wrong bubbling of OMR data sheet the candidature of a candidate can be invalidated, has been finally decided by a Division Bench of this Court in favour of the Public Service Commission in W.A.No. 126/2010. That being so, I do not find any merit in this writ petition and accordingly the same is dismissed. Sd/- S. Siri Jagan, Judge. Tds/ [True copy] P.S to Judge.
