J U D G M E N T The petitioners are the candidates included in Exhibit P1 ranked list for appointment to the post of HSST (Malayalam) in the Kerala Higher Secondary Education Department. The ranked list came into force on 12.9.2007 and will, in the ordinary course remain in force till 11.9.2010. The grievance voiced by the petitioners is that though a large number of vacancies exist, respondents 1 and 2 are not reporting the vacancies to the Kerala Public Service Commission. When the Writ Petition came up for hearing today, Shri.T.T.Muhamood, the learned Government Pleader appearing for respondents 1 and 2 submitted on instructions that 45 vacancies of HSST (Malayalam) earmarked for direct recruitment have been reported by the Director of Higher Secondary Education to the Secretary, Kerala Public Service Commission in his letter dated 14.1.2009. The said submission should in my opinion dispel the apprehension of the petitioners that the exiting vacancies will not be reported. W.P(C) No.1325 of 2009 -G 2 In these circumstances, I am of the opinion that no further orders are called for at present. The Writ Petition is accordingly closed. If the petitioners have any subsisting grievance, they may move this Court afresh at a later stage.
