KOSHY, Ag.C.J. & V.GIRI, J. ------------------------- W.A.No.2510 of 2008 ------------------------- Dated this the 2nd day of January, 2009. JUDGMENT KOSHY, Ag.C.J. The petitioner is presently working as a Library Attender in the Government Homoeopathic Medical College, Kozhikode. His case is that when a vacancy arose for the post of Pharmacist, he is entitled to be promoted to the said post, as he has passed Nursing cum Pharmacist Course. But, his case was rejected by the authorities as well as by the learned single Judge because the post of Lab Attender is not a feeder category since 3 years' experience as Attender/Attendant/Nursing Assistant/Store Keeper in Hospital, is mentioned as qualification for promotion to the post of Pharmacist. We agree with the learned single Judge. However, the appellant is free to make a W.A.NO.2510/08 :: 2 :: representation to include the post of Library Attender in the feeder category. We see no merit in the writ appeal. It is accordingly dismissed. Sd/- (J.B. KOSHY) ACTING CHIEF JUSTICE Sd/- (V.GIRI) JUDGE sk/ //true copy// P.S. to Judge
