Binu Kumar.K.R. S/O. Late Ramakrishnan vs Kerala Public Service Commission on 8 December, 2009
6. Learned counsel for the petitioners relies on the decision
reported in Binu Kumar v. Public Service Commission (2010
(1) KLT 1024). We have gone through the said judgment. In the
said case, a column was given in the application form itself to
indicate their experience as sportsman, therefore, His Lordship
held, in the absence of opting out to give such details in the
application form itself it was not open to the candidate to furnish
details subsequently after submission of the application claiming
additional weightage marks. As against this, learned Standing
Counsel for Union Territory submits, the facts in the reported
decision are entirely different from the facts of the present case,
as the Corrigendum was not issued at the instance of the
prospective applicants, but the selecting authority itself took the
OP(CAT).3124/12 5
decision in order to give weightage of marks to certain
candidates, who have gained experience as participants in NCC or
participants in State or national level sports. In the present case,
there were totally 84 vacancies as on the date of notification at
Annexure A1.
