According to the petitioner, he had written the examination. But he was not included in the list of eligible candidates. The writ petition is filed for a direction to stay all further proceedings on the basis of Exhibit P5 list, till the disposal of an appeal filed by the petitioner as Exhibit P8 before the State Chief Information Commissioner whereby, the petitioner had sought for details regarding the marks which were awarded to the candidates who had participated in the written examination conducted on 11.3.2207 itself. 2. Learned standing counsel for the respondent submits that examination was conducted on 11.3.2007. The petitioner was not qualified even in the first stage. Fifty nine persons were found to be eligible and they were promoted as per order dated 8.11.2007. Subsequently they were sent for training. Training has been completed. Promoted candidates are instructed to join duty to the promoted post today. W.P ( C) No.403 of 2008 2 I have gone through the averments in the writ petition. Petitioner merely states that there was foul-play in the conduct of the examination. No details have been supplied. There are no specific averments in the writ petition supporting the petitioner's contention,, I am of the view that the writ petition seems to be an attempt to conduct a roving enquiry. In the circumstances, the writ petition is bereft of merit and the same is therefore, dismissed. (V.GIRI, JUDGE) ma W.P ( C) No.403 of 2008 2 K.THANKAPPAN,J CRL.A. NO.92 OF 1999 ORDER 25th May, 2007
