SRI.ALEXANDER THOMAS, SC, PSC THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 27/10/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ================ W.P.(C) NO. 32754 OF 2010 (T) ===================== Dated this the 27th day of October, 2010 J U D G M E N T Petitioner possesses graduation and post graduation in Economics. He also possessed B.Ed in Geography. He appears to have made an application for the post of HSA Social Studies in response to a notification issued by the PSC. Special Rules provides that the B.Ed should be in the concerned subject. Therefore, since the petitioner's B.Ed is in Geography, the qualification is not in the concerned subject, and therefore, he is not eligible. Thereupon, petitioner made Ext.P5 application to the University requesting that the B.Ed in Geography should be included as subject of Social Studies. Orders were not passed and therefore the writ petition is filed. 2. In this writ petition, although the petitioner seeks a direction to the University to pass orders on Ext.P5, I do not think even an order on Ext.P5 will save the petitioner. This is for the reason that going by the Special Rules for the post of HSA Social Studies, to be eligible, B.Ed a candidate has, shall be in the concerned subject. In this case, petitioner does not possess B.Ed WPC No. 32754/10 :2 : in the concerned subject of Social Studies, but only in Geography. Therefore, as far as Special Rules remains as such, petitioner is ineligible, and therefore, Ext.P5 will not be of any help to him. Writ petition is dismissed. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE Rp
