No. 17389 of 2001 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Dated this, the 24th March, 2009. J U D G M E N T The petitioners seek appointment from a list prepared by the Public Service Commission. Admittedly, the period of validity of the list has expired long back. The petitioners' contention is that during the period of validity of the list, vacancies existed, which were not reported by the appointing authority despite an interim order from this Court. Therefore, the petitioners are entitled to the relief prayed for. 2. A Full Bench of this Court has already held that after the expiry of the list prepared by the Public Service Commission, no advice can be made from that list to any vacancy which has not been reported till the date of expiry of the list. I also record the contention of the learned standing counsel for the Public Service Commission that pursuant to a final judgment in another original petition, namely, O.P. No. 4205/2000 vacancies were reported and advice was made. But, the petitioners turn did not reach. Therefore, there is no merit in in the original petition. Accordingly, the same is dismissed.
