JUDGMENT
Antony Dominic, J.
1. Heard learned counsel for the appellant, learned Government Pleader and standing counsel for respondents 4 and 5.
2.W.P(C).12140/11 is filed by the appellant challenging Exts.P6, P11 and P14. The writ petition was disposed of by the judgment under appeal, whereby, though the impugned orders were confirmed, having regard to the amendment made to the list of Scheduled Castes/Scheduled Tribes in the year 2007, learned single Judge allowed the appellant to continue as driver in CISF till his retirement on attaining the age of superannuation. Appellant contends that in spite of the amendment in 2007, he is entitled to retain the status of schedule caste on the basis of which he entered the service of respondents 4 and 5.
3. In our view, having regard to the fact that the list of SC/ST stands amended in 2007, the contention now
WA.1008/12 raised by the counsel for the appellant is plainly untenable. Therefore, we are absolutely unable to accept the said contention.
Appeal fails and is accordingly dismissed.
Sd/- ANTONY DOMINIC, Judge.
