J U D G M E N T The petitioners are persons included in the rank list, published by the Public Service Commission, for appointment to the post of L.D. Clerks, in various departments, in Kasargod District. According to them, 19 vacancies were reported and they are pending without advice by the PSC, which arose before 31-12-2005. The rank list in which the petitioners were included expired on the said date. According to them, during the currency of the rank list, 19 vacancies were actually reported. Therefore, the PSC will be compelled to advise those vacanices. 2. The Public Service Commission has filed a counter affidavit and it has furnished the details in it, regarding the various vacancies reported by different departments upto 31-12-2005. As per the statement contained in para 3, 22 vacancies were reported by various departments in the month of April. Advices were made to all those vacancies by 13-1-2006. Since all the vacancies reported before the expiry of the rank list have already been adviced from the list, I think no relief could be granted to the petitioners. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is dismissed. K.BALAKRISHNAN NAIR, JUDGE. MS
