BUILDINGS, NORTH KALPETTA P.O., WAYANAD- 673 122. BY ADV. SRI.ALEXANDER THOMAS,SC,KPSC THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING BEEN FINALLY HEARD ON 05/12/2007, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: V.GIRI,J. ------------------------- W.P ( C) No. 3101 of 2007 -------------------------- Dated this the 5th December, 2007 J U D G M E N T The petitioner applied for selection to the post of L.D.Typist in various Departments pursuant to Exhibit-P1 notification issued by the P.S.C. One of the qualifications prescribed in this regard is Computer Word Processing Certificate or equivalent qualification. Apparently, the equivalent qualification was later notified by the P.S.C. as per Exhibit-P9. The Public Service Commission declared that if the concerned person has completed the course from any one of the institutions which are enumerated in Exhibit-P9 then the same will be treated as equivalent qualification. Exhibit-P6 certificate produced by the petitioner will show that she has been awarded a Diploma in Computer Teachers’ Training from the Centre for Development of Imaging Technology(CDIT) in the examination held in January, 2005. Initially there was a doubt entertained regarding the duration of the course undertaken by the petitioner. That seems to have been clarified by Exhibits P10 and P11 wherein, it is noted that the course is for a period of three months. On the basis of materials available on record, it seems that the W.P ( C) No. 3101 of 2007 2 petitioner is qualified in terms of the notification. It is up to the Public Service Commission to look into these materials and take a final decision thereon. In the result, this writ petition is disposed of directing the respondent to look into Exhibits P6, P10 and P11 and take a decision on the petitioner’s inclusion in the rank list, within two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
