No.32457 of 2008 --------------------------------- Dated, this the 5th day of November, 2008 J U D G M E N T The petitioner was an applicant for the post of HSA (English) in Malappuram District, which was notified by the Public Service Commission, as the petitioner had acquired B.Ed degree by attending week-end course conducted by the Madras University. At the time of interview, she was asked to produce equivalency certificate from any of the Universities in Kerala. 2. The petitioner states that, there upon she approached the 3rd respondent University and made Ext.P9 request. It is stated that the University has agreed to issue the certificate, and that the matter is being processed. In the meantime, since the time granted for production of equivalency certificate expired, she has made Ext.P11 request to the PSC. But, however, there has not been any response, and therefore, this writ petition is filed praying WP(C) No.32457/2008 -2- that the Public Service Commission be directed to grant her sufficient time to obtain and produce equivalency certificate from the 3rd respondent University. 3. Heard learned standing counsel for the respondents 1 & 2 and also for respondents 3 & 4. 4. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is confident of obtaining and producing the equivalency certificate within two weeks from today. If that be so, I am satisfied that the request made by the petitioner is eminently justified. Therefore, the writ petition is disposed of directing the 2nd respondent to grant two weeks' time to the petitioner from today to obtain and produce the equivalency certificate from the 3rd respondent University, and consider her case for inclusion in the ranked list. The writ petition is disposed of as above. (ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE) jg
