BY ADV. SRI.K.G.ANIL BABU RESPONDENT(S): ----------------------- 1.

GOVT.PLEADER SRI.ARAVINDKUMAR BABU THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 07/07/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ================ W.P.(C) NO. 19122 OF 2010 (M) ===================== Dated this the 7th day of July, 2010 J U D G M E N T Petitioner retired from service on 31/7/08. In this writ petition, what is claimed is that she ought to have been granted promotion as District Medical Officer w.e.f. 1/6/08. However, on facts, it is seen that pursuant to the directions of this Court in WP (C) No.7673/08, petitioner was provisionally promoted to the post of Superintendent w.e.f. 24/4/08, in which post, the petitioner joined on 12/5/2008 and retired on 31/7/08. Evidently therefore, in the feeder category post of Superintendent, petitioner's promotion was only a provisional promotion, and therefore, she could not have aspired for further promotion. In that view of the matter, the writ petition is only to be dismissed and I do so. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE Rp
