JUDGMENT Koshy,J. The Appellant applied for the post of Reserve Driver in pursuance to Ext.P1. But the appellant was not possessed a licence for driving a transport vehicle on the date of application. Even though he had a driving licence for driving non-transport heavy vehicles valid upto 12.12.2017 his licence to drive transport vehicles was valid only upto 1.6.2004. It was renewed only from 24.2.2005. As per Ext.P1, the last date for receipt of the applications was 31.1.2005. At the time when he applied for the post, there was no valid licence to drive transport vehicles. Following the earlier decision in W.P.(C)No.23873of 2005, the learned single Judge rightly dismissed the present Writ Petition. We see no ground to interfere in the matter. The Writ Appeal is dismissed. J.B.Koshy, Judge. P.N.Ravindran, Judge. ess 27/6
