COPY OF THE RANK LIST DT. 5.05.2008 PUBLISHED BY THE PSC. RESPONDENT'S EXHIBITS : NIL ------------------------------------ / TRUE COPY / P.A. TO JUDGE VK T.R. RAMACHANDRAN NAIR, J. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ W.P.(C). No.34143/2008-M ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dated this the 22nd day of July, 2011 J U D G M E N T The petitioner is included in the ranked list published by the Public Service Commission for the post of Higher Secondary Schoo1 Teacher (Junior)(Economics). The main grievance is about the inaction of the P.S.C to implement the dictum laid down in Public Service Commission v. Beermasthan [2008 (2) KLT 797]. 2. Learned Standing Counsel for the P.S.C submitted that the said Judgment has been reversed by the Apex Court in Nair Service Society v. Beermasthan [2009 (2) KLT 123 (SC)]. Even though there is a prayer for publishing an additional ranked list, I am not satisfied that the petitioner has made out any grounds for publishing an additional ranked list. The principles for publishing an additional ranked list, namely, three times of actual vacancies which are reported to the P.S.C are now governed by a decision of this Court in Ravidas v. Public Service Commission [2009 (2) KLT 295 (F.B.)]. In that view of the matter, no orders are called for in this writ petition and is hence, dismissed. No costs. Sd/- (T.R. Ramachandran Nair, Judge.) ms
