JUSTICE M.M. KUMAR HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE K. KANNAN Present: Mr. Pankaj Mehta, Advocate, for the petitioner. 1. Whether Reporters of local papers may be allowed to see the judgment? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? M.M. KUMAR J. The petitioner had applied for the post of Art and Craft Teacher. He was issued letter for interview. It was found later on that the Diploma, which is necessary qualification for appointment to the post, has been issued after the cut-off date. It is undisputed that the cut off date for requiring basic qualification is 21.8.2006 and the detailed marks card was issued to the petitioner on 10.11.2006 (Annexure P-3). When the matter came up for consideration on 10.12.2008, the counsel for the petitioner had placed reliance on the undated diploma certificate (Annexure P-2) and he was granted time to produce the original certificate, which he has remained unable to do. Moreover, the date given on the detailed marks card is 10.11.2006 which is the correct date, and it is subsequent to the cut off date. Consequently, he could not be CWP No.20777 of 2008 -2- considered as qualified for appointment to the post of Art & Craft Teacher. There is no merit in this petition. Dismissed. (M. M.
