JUDGMENT

Among the afore two Writ Petitions, WP(C)No.1431/2021 has been filed by Sri.Jayakrishnan S., opposing the selection and appointment of Sri.Vishnu K.S. - who is the petitioner in WP(C)No.4754/2021 - as Trading Inspector, on the assertion that the latter’s qualification is unacceptable; and that he is better suited.

2. That said, WP(C)No.4754/2021 has been filed by the

aforementioned Sri.Vishnu K.S., seeking that his appointment be approved by the 1st respondent - Director of Technical Education. An interim order was issued in this case on 26.03.2021, directing the 1st respondent to take up the petitioner’s proposal for approval, after considering the issue of equivalency of his qualification, within the period mentioned therein.

3. Today, when this matter was called, Smt.Resmi

Thomas - learned Government Pleader, submitted that the qualification of Sri.Vishnu has been accepted and equivalency of his qualification ordered; thus that his appointment has been approved by the Director of Technical Education. She submitted that, therefore, WP(C)No.4754/2021 has become infructuous; while the contentions of Sri.Jayakrishnan in WP(C)No.1431/2021 have become incapable of consideration.

4. I must say that the afore submissions of the learned

Government Pleader appeals to me because, once the appointment of Sri.Vishnu K.S. has been approved through a valid order, then no further directions are required to be obtained by him in WP(C)No.4754/2021. As far as Sri.Jayakrishnan S. is concerned, he will be entitled to any relief only if he is able to successfully challenge the new order issued by the Director of Technical Education appropriately. Resultantly, WP(C)No.4754/2021 is disposed of, recording the afore submissions of the learned Government Pleader; and WP(C)No.1431/2021 is dismissed, however, leaving full liberty to Sri.Jayakrishnan S. to challenge the orders of the Director of Technical Education approving the appointment of Sri.Vishnu K.S., in terms of law; for which purpose, all rival contentions are left open.
