They aspire for promotion to the post of LDC, but however, they do not possess SSLC and hence they are ineligible. Therefore, they have filed Exts.P1 and P3 representations seeking relaxation of this essential educational qualification. According to the petitioners, these representations have been forwarded by the Panchayat to the 1st respondent. A decision on the representations have not been taken by the 1st respondent so far. It is in these circumstances, the writ petition is filed. 2. A reading of Exts.P1 and P3 representations mentioned above and the pleadings in the writ petition do not show that such representations have been made on the strength of any statutory provision. If that be so, these representations are not statutory in nature, in which event, this Court will not be justified in directing its consideration. Writ petition fails and is dismissed. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE Rp
