THE ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER, MEDICAL COLLEGE HOSPITAL, THRISSUR BY GP SRI.ARAVINDKUMAR BABU THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 24/05/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J ------------------- W.P.(C).11976/2010 -------------------- Dated this the 24th day of May, 2010 JUDGMENT By Ext.P1 proceedings issued by the 3rd respondent petitioner was appointed as an Ophthalmic Assistant on a provisional basis under Rule 9(a)(1) of KS & SSR. The period specified is one year and that the period has expired. 2. In this writ petition, petitioner seeks continuance in service relying on the sentence in Ext.P1 to the effect that the petitioner is liable to be ousted from service as and when PSC hands join duty or at any time, if found unsuitable. Learned counsel for th petitioner submits that no PSC hands have joined duty and therefore, the petitioner should be retained in service. On a reading of Ext.P1, I am inclined to take the view that the clause providing ouster when PSC hands join duty, is meant to operate, if a PSC hand join duty within the period of one year specified. This clause is not intended to extend the period of appointment beyond one year. Admittedly, the one year period specified has W.P.(C).11976/10 2 expired and appointment being under Rule 9(a)(1), petitioner has no right to continue in service. Writ petition is dismissed accordingly. ANTONY DOMINIC, Judge mrcs
