P.N.RAVINDRAN, J. ------------------------------------- W.P.(C).No.12259 of 2009 -------------------------------------- Dated 21st May, 2009 JUDGMENT The petitioner, a candidate included in Ext.P2 ranked list published by the Kerala Public Service Commission for appointment to the post of LD Typist in Kasargod District, has filed this writ petition contending that as a candidate whose mother tongue is Kannada he is entitled to reservation for appointment to the post. No provision of any law made by the State Government providing for reservation to candidates whose mother tongue is Kannada, Tamil or Telungu was brought to my notice. The petitioner has not been able to point out any constitutional or statutory provision that would entitle him to claim reservation for appointment to the state civil service by mere reason of the fact that his mother tongue is Kannada. In the absence of any right statutory or constitutional, the reliefs prayed for by the petitioner cannot be granted. The writ petition fails and is accordingly dismissed. P.N.RAVINDRAN Judge TKS
