SRI. ALEXANDER THOMAS, S.C. THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 19/11/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S. Siri Jagan, J. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= W.P(C) No. 34063 of 2010 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Dated this, the 19th day of November, 2010. J U D G M E N T Petitioner's candidature for the post of L.D. Typist has been rejected by the Public Service Commission on the ground that in the application form, the petitioner has wrongly mentioned the name of the post as L.D. Clerk instead of L.D. Typist, although the category number has been correctly written. The petitioner argues that insofar as she has given the category number of the post correctly, simply because she has wrongly mentioned the name of the post , her candidature is not liable to be invalidated. On the other hand, the learned standing counsel for the Public Service Commission submits that a reverse position has been decided by a Division Bench of this Court in favour of the Public Service Commission in W.A. No. 348/2010, wherein this Court upheld the rejection of the candidature on the ground that the category number was shown wrongly although the name of the post has been correctly written. 2. I have considered the rival contentions in detail. I am satisfied that the ratio of the decision in W.A. No. 348/2010 applies to this facts situation also. Therefore, there is no merit in this writ petition and accordingly the same is dismissed. Sd/- S. Siri Jagan, Judge. Tds/ [TRUE COPY] P.S TO JUDGE.
