K.M.JOSEPH, J. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - WP.(C) No.3468 OF 2006 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dated this the 7th day of February, 2007 JUDGMENT The prayer in the writ petition is to direct respondents 2 and 3 to permit the petitioners to appear for the written test for selection and appointment to the post of Tapping Supervisors as per Ext.P2. Learned counsel appearing for the respondents submits that petitioners were permitted to appear for the written test for selection and appointment to the post as prayed for. There is a petition filed to direct respondents 2 and 3 to publish the rank list of successful candidates participated in the written test conducted on 5.2.2006. 2. The only objection pointed out by the learned counsel for respondents 2 and 3 to the publication of the rank list of the test held on 5.2.2006 is that there is no main prayer as such. Having regard to the fact that the written test was conducted on 5.2.2006, I think that the respondents should be directed to publish the rank list of the successful candidates participated in the written test. There is no objection raised by the counsel for the respondent against such a direction being given WPC.3468/2006. 2 except the objection already referred. In such circumstances, the writ petition is disposed of directing the second respondent to publish the rank list of successful candidates in accordance with law within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
