He is serial No.12 in the rank list. Originally, no appointments were made in view of the interim stay granted by this Court in other writ petitions. Subsequently on 28.3.2006, interim orders were modified permitting appointments to the post of Section Officers, and accordingly, appointments were also effected. The petitioner submits that in view of the pendency of the stay for sometime, the syndicate decided to extend the validity of rank list till 27.4.2007. According to the petitioner, there are at present 4 vacancies available including two vacancies which existed prior to the decision of the syndicate to extend the rank list and the petitioner seeks appointment to one of those vacancies as he is second in line for appointment as per the rank list. However, for the present, the petitioner is satisfied with a W.P.(C)No.13605/2007 :2: direction to the second respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P5 representation filed by the petitioner. In the facts and circumstances of the case, I dispose of the writ petition with a direction to the second respondent to consider and pass appropriate orders on Ext.P5, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, before the expiry of the rank list on 27.4.2007. The writ petition is disposed of as above. S.SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE css / W.P.(C)No.13605/2007 :3: W.P.(C)No.13605/2007 :4:
