BIJOY CHANDRAN, THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 11/06/2007, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: K.BALAKRISHNAN NAIR, J. ------------------------------ W.P.(C) No. 2440 of 2007-M ------------------------------------- Dated this the 11th day of June, 2007. J U D G M E N T The petitioner is a candidate who applied for the post of L.D. Typist in various departments in Idukki District, when Public Service Commission invited applications for the same, by Ext.P1. Those who passed Typewriting English (Lower) examination before January, 2002 should produce a certificate in Computer Word Processing. After January, 2002, the English Typewriting course includes computer word processing also. In the writ petition, the petitioner submits, immediately on seeing Ext.P1, she acquired Computer Word Processing certificate. Ext.P4 is the certificate produced by her in this regard. It is dated 30-6-2006. She has acquired Typewriting English (Lower) certificate as early as on 11-4-1992. Therefore, it is obligatory for her to produce Ext.P4 certificate also. But, the same was obtained after the last date for submission of the applications that is on 15-2-2006. In view of the above position, the petitioner is not qualified for applying that post. Therefore, the claim of the petitioner to receive Ext.P4 and to consider her candidature also cannot be allowed. WPC No.2440 of 2007 2 In the result, the Writ Petition fails, and it is dismissed.
