He was considered for selection by the PSC to the post of Junior Health Inspector Gr.II. Special Rules relating to the said post is contained in Exhibit P4 Government Order. Technical qualifications prescribed as follows: i. Multi purpose worker's Training Certificate imparted by the Kerala State Health Services Department or its equivalent. In the absence of candidates possessing the above Technical Qualification ii. Health Inspector's Training Certificates/Sanitary Inspector's Training Certificate (Diploma) of the All India Institute of Local Self Government, Bombay or its equivalent. 2. It is the admitted case of the petitioner that he does not hold a Multi purpose worker's Training Certificate imparted by the Kerala State Health Services Department and instead the W.P ( C) No. 1793 of 2008 2 Diploma held by the petitioner is treated as qualification, as mentioned in Sub Clause iii of Exhibit P4. Petitioner is therefore be treated as qualified, but only as per the alternate qualification mentioned in Exhibit P4. He has therefore been included in List II of the rank list. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the qualifications possessed by him must be treated as equivalent to that of the Multi Purpose Workers Training Certificate imparted by the State Health Services Department. He relies on Exhibit P5 Government Order issued by the Government of Andhra Pradesh in this regard. Obviously, Exhibit P5 has no application in so far as the selection conducted by the PSC is concerned petitioner is treated as qualified in terms of the alternate qualification mentioned in Exhibit P4. I do not find any reason to issue any other directions to the PSC. The writ petition bereft of merit and hence dismissed. (V.GIRI, JUDGE) ma W.P ( C) No. 1793 of 2008 2 K.THANKAPPAN,J CRL.A.
