Radhakrishnan, J. ================================== W.P.(C)No.2718 of 2008 ================================== Dated this the 1st day of July, 2008. JUDGMENT Petitioner obtained first rank in the selection by the Co-operative Service Examination Board for appointment in the service of the fourth respondent as a Junior Clerk. Ext.P3 appointment order was issued. She seeks the benefit of that appointment order and challenges Exts.P4, P6 and P7, whereby the statutory authorities had interdicted the appointment. 2. As of now, the third respondent is on record stating that two vacancies were to be filled up following the resolution of the bank and the selection was conducted by the Co-operative Service Examination Board. Reading that counter affidavit, it is apparent and it is conceded on behalf of the third respondent that the petitioner is eligible to WPC2718/08 -:2:- be appointed as Junior Clerk. Under such circumstances, this writ petition is allowed quashing the impugned decisions, in so far as they affect the petitioner's rights under Ext.P3 and it is ordered that Ext.P3 shall be given effect to forthwith and the petitioner permitted to enter service. Thottathil B.Radhakrishnan, Judge. sl.
