BASHEER, JJ. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Writ Appeal No 2184 of 2007 -------------------------------------------------------------------- Dated: 7th September 2007 JUDGMENT Radhakrishnan, J. We find no infirmity in the finding of the learned single judge. Petitioner admittedly was not included in the main rank list. He was rank No. 1 in the supplementary list of Latin Catholic. Rank list was published on 22.10.2005. Subsequently addendum notification was issued by the P.S.C on 21.2.2006 (Ext.P7) and on the basis of that Ext.P6 letter dated 13.12.2006 was issued to the petitioner. Learned single judge has rightly taken the view that petitioner has not challenged Ext. P7 addendum notification and the affected parties were not made parties to the writ petition. In such circumstances, we find no reason to disturb the appointments made already. Further learned single judge also found the petitioner guilty of delay and laches in agitating his claims. Rank list has already expired on 21.10.2006. Appeal therefore lacks merits and the same is dismissed. Sd/- K.S. RADHAKRISHNAN Judge Sd/- A.K. BASHEER Judge 07/09/2007 en/ [true copy]
