BY GOVERNMENT PLEADER SRI.A.J.VARGHESE THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 29/11/2007, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S.SIRI JAGAN,J ===================== W.P.(C).No.35314 of 2007 =========================== Dated this the 29th day of November, 2007 JUDGMENT The petitioner claims to be qualified for being appointed as Assistant Editor in the Department of Malayalam Lexicon in the second respondent University. The petitioner's grievance in this writ petition is that the second respondent is not taking further steps to fill up the post of Assistant Auditor in accordance with law and seeks a direction to the second respondent to take further steps to fill up post of Assistant Auditor. I am afraid that the petitioner's claim cannot be considered now in view of Exts.P12 and P13 judgment which have been rendered in writ petitions filed by similarly placed employees seeking the very same relief. Therefore, I am not inclined to entertain this writ petition, accordingly the same is dismissed. S.SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE dvs
