THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 18/12/2007, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S.SIRI JAGAN, J. ======================= W.P.(C) No.34025 of 2007 ======================= Dated this the 18th day of December, 2007 JUDGMENT Petitioner's grievance is that although the petitioner correctly showed his religion as Hindu and community as Ezhava in his application form for the post of Reserve Driver in the KSRTC, the PSC has mistakenly included his name in the short list as a ST. Petitioner submits that he is entitled to be included in the short list of Ezhava category. The learned standing counsel appearing for the PSC submits that the mistake has been duly rectified and the petitioner should not be included only because he has not scored sufficient marks for such inclusion. According to the learned standing counsel, the lowest marks by the last person in the short list was 71 and the petitioner scored only 59 marks. In view of the same, there is no merit in the contention of the petitioner. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed. S.SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE jp
