True copy tga K.BALAKRISHNAN NAIR, J. ----------------------------------------- W.P.(C) NO. 18084 OF 2006-C ----------------------------------------- JUDGMENT This writ petition was filed when the K.S.E.B took steps to fill up all the available vacancies in the cadre of Electricity Worker under it. This Court passed an interim order granting stay of selection to 25% of the vacancies reported. Since this Court has already upheld Ext.P1 award in W.P.(C) No.28836/2005, for implementing that award, 25% of the vacancies that arise/arose for a period of 5 years from the date of award have to be set apart. In view of the above position, the said interim order is made absolute. 25% of the vacancies that arise/arose during the above period shall be set apart for appointing the candidates in terms of Ext.P1 award. The Writ Petition is disposed of as above. 16th November, 2007. K.BALAKRISHNAN NAIR, JUDGE. Nm/
