SIRI JAGAN, J. ----------------------------------- W.P.(C)No.30897 OF 2007 ------------------------------------ Dated this the 24th day of October, 2007 JUDGMENT The petitioner applied for selection to the post of Higher Secondary School Teacher in Economics, pursuant to notification issued by the 1st respondent inviting applications for the post. The petitioner successfully completed M.A.,B.Ed and M.Phil from the Cochin University of Science and Technology. According to the petitioner, M.Phil examination was completed in March 2005 and the result of the same was published on 21.12.2005. The mark list was issued to the petitioner on 2.8.2006. The 1st respondent directed the petitioner to produce a certificate from the 2nd respondent showing the correct date of publication of results of M.Phil examination. The petitioner applied to the University, who issued Ext.P7 certificate stating that the results of M.Phil examination which the petitioner wrote was published on 2.8.06. The petitioner disputes the certificate and seeks the following reliefs. W.P.(c)No.30897/07 2 “ 1. to declare that qualification acquired by the petitioner as per Ext.P1 is a sufficient qualification as contemplated in the employment notification mentioned as category number 187/05 for the post applied by petitioner. 2. to issue a Writ of Mandamus commanding the 1 st respondent to include the petitioners name also in the rank list accepting Ext.P1 certificate. 3. to quash Ext.P7 after calling records relating to the same. 4. to direct the 2 nd respondent to intimate the 1 st respondent, the correct date of publication of M.Phil Degree final result of the petitioner forthwith ignoring Ext.P7.”. 2. The petitioner has not provided any material whatsoever to show that the publication of results of her M.Phil examination was on 21.12.2005 and not on 2.8.2006 as certified in Ext.P7. When a responsible University issued a certificate regarding the date of publication of results of an examination conducted by it, this Court has absolutely no reason to disbelieve the same in the absence of any other material whatsoever to show that the information contained therein is in any way incorrect. W.P.(c)No.30897/07 3 In the above circumstances, I am not inclined to entertain this writ petition and accordingly the same is dismissed. S. SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE Acd W.P.(c)No.30897/07 4
