Ext.P1 is a notification issued by the PSC inviting application for the post of System Manager/EDP Manager. Petitioner possess MCA and the qualification prescribed in Ext.P1 reads as under. “MCA or B. Tech. Electrical & Electronics/Electronics Computer Science or B.Tech.(any discipline) with specialization in computer (ie., PGDCA or Equivalent) with 8 years experience in Data Processing/Software Development. “ 3. The application made by the petitioner was rejected by Ext.P3 for want of experience. The contention raised in this writ petition is that, for MCA holders like the petitioner, the prescription of 8 years experience is inapplicable. Counsel also refers to Ext.P2 in support of this contention. A reading of the qualification extracted above shows that the experience of 8 years prescribed in Ext.P1 notification apply both to MCA as well as B. Tech degree holders. If that be so, admittedly the petitioner lacks the experience prescribed in Ext.P1. Therefore, I WPC.NO.25596/09 :2 : cannot find fault with Ext.P3 rejecting the application. Writ petition fails and is dismissed. (ANTONY DOMINIC) JUDGE vi/
