NO.21253 OF 2011 -------------------------------------------- Dated this the 4th day of August, 2011 JUDGMENT The petitioner had unsuccessfully participated in the selection for appointment to the post of Labourers in the District Agricultural Farm, Koothali, on daily wage basis, pursuant to Ext.P1 notification. After a due selection process, the respondents have drawn Ext.P4 select list. Admittedly, the petitioner's name was not included in Ext.P4 select list. This Writ Petition has been filed in the said circumstances challenging Ext.P4 and seeking issuance of a writ of mandamus commanding the first respondent not to appoint the selectees. 2. I have heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and also the learned Government Pleader. Evidently, the petitioner is an unsuccessful candidate who participated in the selection process pursuant to Ext.P1 notification. It is thereafter that the petitioner approached this Court by filing this Writ Petition with the aforementioned prayers. A scanning of the grounds raised in this Writ Petition would reveal that they do not contain any specific allegation regarding the illegality crept in the selection W.P.(C) NO.21253 OF 2011 2 procedure which could vitiate the selection process. There can be no doubt with respect to the position that no selection procedures could be permitted to be challenged with vague allegations especially, by an unsuccessful candidate in the concerned selection. In the aforesaid circumstances, I am of the view that this Writ Petition is liable to fail and accordingly, it is dismissed. (C.T. RAVIKUMAR, JUDGE) spc W.P.(C) NO.21253 OF 2011 3 C.T. RAVIKUMAR, J.
