SRI. HOOD, GOVERNMENT PLEADER THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 03/04/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. --------------------------- W.P.(C) No.10854 of 2009 ------------------------------------ Dated this the 3rd day of April, 2009 JUDGMENT The complaint in this writ petition is regarding reckoning of service for the purpose of inclusion in Exhibit P2, a provisional select list of the members of the Medical Education Service for admission under the departmental quota to MD (Anesthesia). Petitioner submits that she has four years, seven months and 10 days service in the Medical Education Service. It is stated that in addition to that, she has rendered service under the Directorate of Health services and that service also should be added to her present service and on that basis, total length of service should be reckoned for the purpose of inclusion in Exhibit P2 Seniority list. Her grievance is that she has filed Exhibit P3 objection to Exhibit P2 and that before considering the same, select list is being finalized. Exhibit P1 is the prospectus and claim of the petitioner is to be decided in the light of provisions of the prospectus. A reading of Clause 7(a)(3) of Exhibit P1 shows that for the purpose of reckoning eligibility, the Medical Education Services and other W.P.(C) No.10854/2009 2 services have been separately categorised into different compartments. The prospectus does not provide for addition of one service with an other. If that be so, claim of the petitioner that her service under the Directorate of Health Services should be added to her service in the Medical Education Services, cannot be conceded. If that be so, her rank shown in Exhibit P2 is perfectly in tune with Exhibit P1 Prospectus. Consequently, the relief sought in the writ petition cannot be granted. Writ petition fails and hence, it is dismissed. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE scm
