Ext.P4 is an order by which the application of the petitioner for selection by the Public Service Commission has been rejected on the ground that the petitioner had applied in more than one District. Petitioner has stated that he was not aware of the prohibition in applying in more than one District. It is not in dispute that the petitioner had applied more than one District. In such circumstances, Ext.P4 is only to be justified. There is no merit in the Original Petition and it is dismissed. K. M. JOSEPH, JUDGE kbk. K. M. JOSEPH, J.
