Prayer sought in this writ petition is to direct the first respondent to include the petitioner's name in the ranked list of Lower Division Clerks(Forest Department) either in the general list or in the list for physically handicapped persons. An affidavit has been filed by respondents 1 and 2. In so far as the claim of the petitioner for inclusion in the general list is concerned, it is contended that though the petitioner was an applicant and participated in the selection process, he did not secure sufficient marks for getting himself included in the main list or supplementary list for general recruitment. In so far as the petitioner's claim for inclusion in the list for physically handicapped persons are concerned, it is stated that as per the Government Orders, blind and partially blind candidates are not eligible to be included in the list. Since the petitioner has not in any manner contradicted these averments in the affidavit filed by the respondents, no relief can be granted to him. Therefore the relief sought by the petitioner cannot be granted to him. WPC.No. 35786/09 :2 : Writ petition fails and is dismissed. (ANTONY DOMINIC) JUDGE vi/
