BALACHANDRAN, JJ. ------------------------------------------------ W. A. No.1549 of 2008 ------------------------------------------------ Dated this the 5th day of August, 2008 JUDGMENT J. B. Koshy, J Appellants/petitioners are Assistant Surgeons working in the Health Service Department. They applied for the admission to the Post Graduate Course under the service quota. Their contention is that their provisional service shall be considered for calculating the seniority for getting admission to the P.G. course. Government declined to count the provisional service for the purpose of calculating the seniority for getting admission to the P.G. Course. Appellants/ petitioners relied on Annexure-I judgment of a learned Single Judge of this Court in W. A. No.1549 of 2008 -2- W.P.C. No.25793/04 and other connected cases. But it is now overruled by a Full Bench of this Court in State of Kerala v. Ponnamma (2005(4) KLT 987). We also fully agree with the views of the learned Single Judge in the impugned judgment. Hence, there is no merit in this appeal. This Writ Appeal is therefore, dismissed. J. B. KOSHY JUDGE K.P.BALACHANDRAN, JUDGE kns/-
