VARGHESE THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 13/10/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J ----------------------------------------------------------- W.P.(C).No.29780/2008 ----------------------------------------------------------- Dated this the 13th day of October, 2008 JUDGMENT Challenge in this writ petition is against Ext.P5, by which the petitioner's request for giving effect to his promotion as Librarian Grade-I from 20.6.1990 has been rejected. The facts show that the petitioner was appointed as a Librarian and by Ext.P2 order the Library was upgraded as Grade-I. Consequently by Exts.P3 and P4, the petitioner was promoted as Librarian Grad-I with effect from 24.2.1994. Later the petitioner claimed that his promotion should be made with effect from 20.6.1990. That was considered by the Government, following the judgment in O.P.No.9245/97 and by Ext.P5, the same has been rejected. It is challenging this order, the writ petition has been filed. 2 First of all, his claim is highly belated. Apart from that, Ext.P5 also shows that the promotion given to the petitioner as Librarian Grade-I itself was in relaxation of the qualifications. It is assigning this reason that his claim has been rejected by Ext.P5. I see no justification to take a view different from Ext.P5. Writ Petition fails and is dismissed. ANTONY DOMINIC JUDGE vi. 3
