SRI.ALEXANDER THOMAS,SC,KPSC FOR R1 THIS WRIT APPEAL HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 06/11/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: J.B.KOSHY & THOMAS P. JOSEPH, JJ. ------------------------------- W.A.NO.2054 OF 2008 (A) ----------------------------------- Dated this the 6th day of November, 2008 J U D G M E N T KOSHY,J. Appellants applied for the post of Sub Engineer (Electrical) in the Kerala State Electricity Board, for which written test was held on 5.3.2005. According to the appellants, model answers given for 17 questions are wrong. It is also submitted that 13 questions have not been excluded. Appellants were not able to be shortlisted and their averments were denied by the Public Service Commission. There is no mala fide motive alleged against the examination or test conducted and we also note that the rank list was published and advices were also made. The revaluation of papers at this juncture cannot be done by this Court on the assumption that there were mistakes in the model answers. Judgment of this Court is also suppressed. In this connection, we also refer to the Honourable Supreme Court's order in Civil Appeal.No.461/2008 produced as Annexure R1(b) in the appeal. We are of the opinion that the learned Single Judge W.A.2054/2008 2 has considered the contentions raised by the appellants in detail and rejected the same. We fully agree with the reasonings of the learned Single Judge. Each aspects and even the nature of questions were considered by the learned Single Judge and he did not accept the contentions of the appellants and the learned Single Judge also noted that the P.S.C. has published the answer key as early as on 15.4.2005 and short list was published on 3.4.2006. If answer key was wrong, before the publishing of the short list, writ petition ought to have been filed. After going through the reasonings of the learned Single Judge, we fully agree with the views expressed by the learned Single Judge. Therefore, we are not repeating the reasonings. We see no ground to interfere in the appeal, and hence, this appeal is dismissed. J.B.KOSHY, JUDGE THOMAS P. JOSEPH, JUDGE prp
