OP(KAT) NO. 113 OF 2025 5 2025:KER:22089
JUDGMENT
A.Muhamed Mustaque, J.
The petitioners are the party respondents before the
Tribunal in OA No.1773 of 2024. They challenge the direction
of the Tribunal to expedite the appointment of candidates
included in the ranked list for the post of Assistant Professor
in Forensic Medicine. The petitioners' case is that this
direction would render the above original application
infructuous, inasmuch as the Tribunal had not considered the
question in regard to the exclusion of candidates who do not
possess the necessary qualifications.
2. As of now, we note that absolutely no details
have been furnished before the Tribunal in regard to the
qualifications of the candidates who are to be excluded from
such ranked list. In the absence of such details, it cannot be
claimed that the Tribunal erroneously passed such an order.
However, we give an opportunity to the petitioners to furnish
fresh details of the candidates who do not possess the
required qualifications as per the notification. To enable this
OP(KAT) NO. 113 OF 2025 6 2025:KER:22089
process, we order that the impugned order be kept on hold
for two weeks. We make it clear that if no details are
furnished, the Tribunal shall take an appropriate decision.
The original petition is disposed of as above.
