BEJOY CHANDRAN SC SRI.ALEXANDER THOMAS THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 31/01/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: V.GIRI, J ------------------- W.P.(C).3703/2008 -------------------- Dated this the 31st day of January, 2008 JUDGMENT Petitioner applied for the post of L.D.Typist in response to the notification issued by the PSC on 31.12.2005. One of the qualifications required in that behalf is a pass in Computer Word Processing or equivalent qualification. According to the petitioner, she had undergone a course of Microsoft Office with Word Processing from the Bharatheeya Computer Saksharatha Mission as evidenced by Ext.P5 and it must be treated as equivalent qualification. 2. Learned Standing Counsel for the PSC submits that 13 institutions were enumerated by the PSC in a subsequent clarification issued by the Commission on 30.7.2007 and the institution which has issued Ext.P5 certificate is not one of them. This submission is correct. 3. In the result, I do not find any error in the stand taken by the PSC to the effect that the petitioner is not W.P.(C).3703/2008 2 qualified in terms of the notification. Writ petition is bereft of merit and the same is dismissed. V.GIRI, Judge mrcs
