In this writ petition, their complaint is that despite existence of vacancies, the vacancies were not reported to advise candidates from the list. 2. Counter affidavits filed by the PSC in these cases show that the list expired on 15.7.2005 and prior to the expiry of the list, no vacancies were reported to advice any candidate from the list. It is also stated that since the turn of the petitioners did not reach during the currency of the list they could not be advised. Thus it is obvious that no vacancy was reported prior to the expiry of the list and the list has expired. If that be so, there arise no question of either directing the respondents to report vacancies or to advice candidates from the expired list. Writ Petitions fail and are dismissed.
