                 Dated this the 3rd day of March, 2008

                                JUDGMENT

C.N. Ramachandran Nair,J.

Petitioner’s claim for employment with the Vikram Sarabhai

Space Centre was turned down as petitioner was found unfit in the

interview conducted for the post of canteen attendant. The claim was

based on oral promise given by then Chairman Dr. Vikram Sarabhai in

1960 when the land belonging to the petitioner’s predecessor was

acquired. In the first place, we do not find any ground to interfere with

oral promise after 48 years of the promise. Further, since petitioner

was found unfit for the post, and having regard to age of the petitioner,

there is no scope for any interference with the order of the Tribunal.

We dismiss the W.P.

Judge.
