JUDGMENT
Koshy,J.
The appellant is an aspirant for the post of Part-time Sweeper
in Kadakkal Fire and Rescue Services. The appellant was also called for
interview along with the others, but, she was not selected and the third
respondent was selected. Ext.P4 letter shows that first respondent
himself conducted the interview on 22.09.2007 and out of the eight
persons appeared for interview, he selected the third respondent whom
he found suitable. Contention of the appellant is that she was the senior
most applicant. She is nearing the age of 50. It is further stated that
she passed SSLC, whereas the third respondent did not pass SSLC.
However, the applications produced would show that there are
applicants with Pre-degree and with KGTE Type writing etc. The post is
only for a part-time sweeper. SSLC is not a required qualification for
that post. Good physique is the only required qualification. All the
applicants are from below poverty line. One of the persons was found
suitable and selected. No specific averments of malafides on the part of
the respondents are mentioned. The allegations of political interference
etc. cannot be looked into without producing any evidence for
W.A.2129/2008 2
substantiating the same. Considering the merits of the case, we are
of the opinion that this is not a case where interference should be
made by this court.
The appeal is dismissed.
