SIRI JAGAN, J. ------------------------------------------- W.P.(C) No.12818 OF 2011 ---------------------------------------------- Dated this the 25th day of May, 2011 JUDGMENT The petitioners are candidates included in Ext.P2 rank list prepared by the 5th respondent for appointment to the post of Nurse Gr.II (Ayurveda) under respondents 1 to 3. According to the petitioners, ten vacancies were reported by respondents 3 and 6 to the 5th respondent for advice from the rank list. But, no advice has been made to those vacancies. Therefore, the petitioners seek the following relief: “(i) Issue a writ of mandamus or any other appropriate writ direction or order, directing the 5th respondent to advice candidates from Ex-P2 ranked list against the vacancies of Nurses Grade-II (Ayurveda) reported by the 3rd and 6th respondents to the 5th respondent as expeditiously as possible and within a time framed fixed by this Hon'ble Court, so as to secure the ends of justice”. The learned Standing Counsel for the Public Service Commission submits that only four vacancies are pending advise against which advice could not be issued because of want of certain clarifications. He further submits that the Public Service W.P.(C)No.12818/11 2 Commission would advise candidates from the rank list against those four vacancies also within 15 days. This is recorded and the writ petition is closed. S. SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE acd W.P.(C)No.12818/11 3
