BIJOY CHANDRAN THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 28/06/2007, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: K.BALAKRISHNAN NAIR, J. ------------------------------ W.P.(C) No.19498 of 2007-U ------------------------------------- Dated this the 28th day of June, 2007. J U D G M E N T The petitioner has approached this Court, feeling aggrieved by the omission on the part of the first respondent, to sponsor him to the third respondent, as a candidate for appointment to the post of seasonal Ferryman. According to him, he is eligible to be sponsored. 2. The learned Government Pleader, upon instruction, submitted that the petitioner is registered with the Kundara employment exchange and only one candidate has been sponsored from that exchange who is registered with effect from 15-6-1995. But, the petitioner has registered with the Employment Exchange only on 29-6-2006. Therefore, it is pointed out that the petitioner's turn has not arisen for being sponsored for regular appointment as Ferryman. In view of the above position, I find nothing illegal with the non-sponsoring of the petitioner. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is dismissed. K.BALAKRISHNAN NAIR, JUDGE. MS
