Writ petition was preferred by the respondents 1 to 4 herein seeking a writ of certiorari to quash Ext.P6 order and also for a declaration that order dated 3.12.2004 has been issued by the first respondent without any authority and in violation of law. 2. Learned Single Judge pointed out that the petitioners could not join duty due to the agitation of the student community against appointment of Lecturers in Anatomy (Non Medical) to the Medical Colleges at Kottayam, Thrissur and Alleppy. Counsel for petitioner submits that some of the observations made by the learned Single Judge would affect the dignity and reputation of medical students generally. We W.A.No.557 OF 2005 :: 2 :: are of the view that there is no justification for the student community to obstruct the petitioners from joining duty in the college as Lecturers. Petitioners were selected and advised by the Kerala Public Service Commission in the medical education service as Lecturers in Anatomy (Non- Medical) in the scale pay of Rs.8000-13500. Learned counsel appearing for the writ petitioners also submits that their probation has also been declared. In such circumstances, this appeal lacks merit and it is dismissed but the observation made against the student community stands expunged. K.S.RADHAKRISHNAN, JUDGE A.K.BASHEER, JUDGE jes
