V.KRISHNA MENON THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 26/05/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: V.GIRI, J ------------------- W.P.(C).15518/2008 -------------------- Dated this the 26th day of May, 2008 JUDGMENT Petitioner was included in Ext.P1 rank list published by the Guruvayoor Devaswom in relation to the post of Junior Health Inspector Grade-II. Apparently, the list was published on 22.1.2004. Going by Ext.P1, it had a validity of three years. Rank list was enforced and two persons were appointed. According to the petitioner, there were three vacancies and if the rank list was enforced he should have been appointed. Petitioner was told as per Ext.P7 that there was no further vacancy of Junior Health Inspector in the Devaswom to enable the Devaswom to give appointment to the petitioner. By Ext.P8 judgment, this Court disposed of the writ petition, filed earlier by the petitioner challenging the said stand and seeking appointment, reserving the liberty of the petitioner to challenge Ext.P7. Subsequently, another vacancy was sanctioned by the Commissioner as evidenced by Ext.P9 dated 9.1.2008. Petitioner has sought for a direction to W.P.(C).15518/2008 2 the Board to consider the petitioner against the said vacancy. 2. I heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Standing Counsel for the Devaswom. 3. Standing Counsel for the Board is right in submitting that the list has expired on 22.1.2007. Therefore, the petitioner cannot claim any right on the basis of inclusion in Ext.P1 rank list nor can the petitioner claim a right to be considered against the vacancies which has arisen only by virtue of Ext.P9 dated 29.1.2008, well after the expiry of the rank list. I do not find my way to issue a direction to the respondents. Writ petition is bereft of merit and the same is dismissed. V.GIRI, Judge mrcs
