J U D G M E N T The petitioner applied for participating in the selection process for the post of Munsiff-Magistrate in the Kerala Judicial Service. Their applications have been rejected by the High Court on the ground that in the Form A certificate of experience at the Bar, the Presiding Officer, although signed, did not put his designation. The petitioners submit that it is not a material defect, which is sufficient to reject the application. 2. I have heard the learned standing counsel for the High Court also. 3. A Division Bench of this Court in W.A.No. 35 of 2010 has held that the failure to put the designation is not a defect, which is sufficient to reject an application. Following that decision, I direct that the petitioners be allowed to participate in the selection process notwithstanding the defect pointed out in Exts. P1 and P2. The writ petition is disposed of as above. Sd/- S. Siri Jagan, Judge. Tds/ [TRUE COPY] P.S TO JUDGE.
