SREELATHA THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 20/06/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: V.GIRI,J. ------------------------- W.P ( C) No. 18650 of 2008 -------------------------- Dated this the 20th June, 2008 J U D G M E N T Petitioner's grievance is that he is qualified for selection and appointment to the post of Instructor in the Food Craft Institute, in accordance with Exhibit-P6 notification. He was not called for the written test, without any justification. Admittedly, the written test was conducted on 15.6.2008. I would have considered the petitioner's contention on merits if he had approached this Court prior to 15.6.2008. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that petitioner did not know of the convening of the test on 15.6.2008. That is why he could not come earlier. Assuming it as such, I am not inclined to entertain a challenge against the written test held on 15.6.2008 in circumstances where an interference with the same would affect the interests of persons who have already participated in the test. Such persons are not parties in this writ petition. W.P ( C) No. 18650 of 2008 2 In the result, the writ petition is dismissed. But I make it clear that I have not considered the contentions of the petitioner on merits to the effect that he is qualified for the post.
