Judgment
(Judgment of the Court was delivered by S.M.Subramaniam J.) In respect of the issues raised in the present appeal, the Division Bench of this Court already considered and passed final orders on 10.04.2023 in W.A.No.2664 of 2022. The appellant herein is also a candidate participated in the very same selection process of the year 2013. The relevant paragraph of the Division Bench judgment reads as under: " 13. It is worthwhile mentioning that WA (MD) Nos.1089 and 1090 of 2013 filed by the Board, against the order passed in W.P.(MD) Nos.13276 and 14940 of 2013 pertaining to the very same recruitment for the year 2012-13, were finally allowed, on 20.02.2022, by setting aside the order of the learned Judge, for the reason that the exercise of conducting the examination had been concluded in the year 2014 itself and thereafter also, two selection process had been completed and hence, it would not be proper and advisable to upset the apple cart by ordering the conduct of the fresh examination at this point of time as directed by the learned Judge. Following the said judgment passed by the Division Bench of this Court, the learned Judge has concluded that the selection process which was completed in the year 2014, cannot be made the subject matter of the writ petition in the year 2022; and if any order is passed to accommodate the appellant, it would certainly unsettle the settled selection process. Accordingly, the
WA No. 1448 of 2024
learned Judge has rightly refused to entertain the writ petition filed by the appellant. This Court finds no reason much less valid reason to interfere with the order so passed by the learned Judge."
2. In view of the orders already passed by the Division Bench, the issues raised in the present writ appeal have already been settled and therefore, the writ appeal stands dismissed. No costs. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petition is closed. (S.M.S.,J.) (K.G.R.,J.) 22-09-2026 Index: Yes/No Speaking/Non-speaking order Neutral Citation: Yes/No KST To
