BALACHANDRAN, JJ. ------------------------------------------------ W. A. No.1412 of 2008 ------------------------------------------------ Dated this the 24th day of September, 2008 JUDGMENT Koshy, J Because of the contentions raised in this appeal, we have called for the files and perused the files. We are satisfied that during the period 2004 - 2006 considering the seniority and rank of the appellants/ petitioners, they were not qualified to come into the 25% quota reserved for the Teachers from High School, U.P. School and L.P. School for appointment to the post of Higher Secondary School Teachers. In the counter affidavit it is stated that the new seniority list is being prepared and according to the appellants/petitioners' rank they will be considered to be appointed as HSST if they come within the 25% quota. We see no ground to W. A. No.1412 of 2008 -2- interfere with the impugned judgment. Since we are agreeing with the learned Single Judge, we are not reiterating the reasons for dismissal of this appeal. Appeal fails and is dismissed accordingly. J. B. KOSHY JUDGE K.P.BALACHANDRAN, JUDGE kns/-
