The petitioner was included in the ranked list published by the Public Service Commission for appointment to the post of Higher Secondary School Teacher (Economics) in the Kerala Higher Secondary Education Department. The same was published on 03/04/2008. Relief sought for in the writ petition is for a direction to the Public Service Commission to issue advice memo to the candidates included in Ext.P1 ranked list by strictly implementing the dictum laid down in Public Service Commission v. Beermasthan [2008 (2) KLT 797]. Evidently, the said Judgment has been reversed by the Apex Court in Nair Service Society v. Beermasthan [2009 (2) KLT 123 (SC)]. In that view of the Matter, the writ petition fails and the same is dismissed. No costs. Sd/- (T.R. Ramachandran Nair, Judge.) ms
