Judgment
22/10/2021
The petitioner desires that suffix of ‘Dr.’ may be indicated before his name in the service record. The learned Single Judge has dismissed the writ petition, upon which, this appeal is filed.
In our opinion, this is entirely a cosmetic issue and has no implication on the petitioner’s service career and is not even justiciable.
The appeal is dismissed.
