KURIAN JOSEPH, J. ---------------------------------------------- W.P.(C) No. 35978 of 2005 ---------------------------------------------- Dated 22nd October, 2008. J U D G M E N T The writ petition is filed with the following prayer:- “to issue a writ of mandamus directing the 1st respondent to substitute the ineligible hands who have passed SSLC and who secured employment as Electricity Worker/Mazdoor from Ext.P2 ranked list which came into force on 31-5-2005 with equal number of eligible hands from the said list including the petitioners”. It is seen that in respect of Kannur district, a Division Bench of this court had disposed of Writ Appeal No.2341/2005 in the light of the submission made by the learned Standing Counsel for the Public Service Commission that the Commission was taking steps to delete the names of such ineligible persons. Learned counsel appearing for the 5th respondent submits that he is an eligible person since he had not passed SSLC. Be that as it may, as far as Kannur district is concerned, the Public Service Commission has undertaken a proper investigation and had also taken steps to remove the ineligible candidates from the list. Learned Legal Retainer to the Public Service Commission submits that subsequently, the Division Bench has considered the matter in WP(C) NO.35978/05 2 C.C.C.1121/07 and after going through the action taken by the Vigilance Officer of the PSC, that Contempt of Courts Case was closed. Be that as it may, in view of the direction already issued by the Division Bench in W.A.2341/2005 in respect of another district, it is not necessary to issue any further direction in the writ petition, since the directions contained in the said judgment will take in the issues covered by this writ petition also. The writ petition is disposed of as above.
