BY GOVERNMENT PLEADER SRI.M.R.SREELATHA THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 09/07/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: V.GIRI, J. ---------------------------------------- W.P.(C).No.18935 of 2009 ---------------------------------------- Dated this the 9th day of July, 2009. JUDGMENT The petitioner belongs to Kaniya- Panicker Community, which is included in the list of SEBC. Exts.P2 and P3 would substantiate the claim of the petitioner. It seems that the Village Officer had noted the petitioner's community as Hindu-Panicker which is an OBC and this resulted in the petitioner not being treated as a member of the SEBC. Hence this writ petition. 2. Learned Government Pleader submits that Ext.P5 report sent by the Village Officer to the Commissioner, practically conceding this position has been taken note of and her claim has been allowed and she will be assigned appropriate rank in the revised list. W.P.(C).No.18935 of 2009 :: 2 :: The submission is recorded and the writ petition is disposed of. Sd/- (V.GIRI) JUDGE sk/ //true copy// P.S. to Judge
