RAMANI THIS WRIT APPEAL HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 14/06/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: C .N. RAMACHANDRAN NAIR, & P.S. GOPINATHAN, JJ. -------------------------------------------- W. A. No. 969 of 2010 -------------------------------------------- Dated this the 14th day of June, 2010 JUDGMENT Ramachandran Nair, J. Appellant applied for last grade post in the University. Even though he passed the examination, he was not allowed to participate in the interview because he has passed SSLC which is over qualification, according to the respondent. Admittedly qualification required is only literacy, that is ability to read and write the local language which necessarily does not involve any education. We notice from the judgment that several cases of this type reached this Court and this Court took consistent view that pass in SSLC is over qualification for the post which required only literacy. Further University counsel submitted that selection is over and appointments are already made. We therefore do not want to interfere in the matter. Writ Appeal is accordingly dismissed.
