THIS REVIEW PETITION HAVING BEEN FINALLY HEARD ON 23.06.2008 , THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: tss A.K.BASHEER, J. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - R.P.No.489 OF 2008 IN W.P.(C)No.17202 OF 2007 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dated this the 23rd day of June 2008 ORDER Petitioners in this review petition had preferred the above writ Petition with a primary prayer to issue a direction to the respondents to appoint them against the vacancies available in the post of Section Officers, which were available prior to the expiry of Ext.P2 ranked list. 2. Petitioners had conceded that only seven vacancies were available in the University as indicated in the notification. The University had asserted that only those seven vacancies were filled up from the ranked list. It was further stated that no more vacancies, even if available would be filled up from the said ranked list. 3. Admittedly, by the time the writ petition came up for consideration, the ranked list had expired. The writ petition was disposed of by a common judgment along with the other connected writ petition holding that petitioners were not entitled to get any relief as prayed for. R.P.No.489 OF 2008 IN W.P.(C)No.17202 OF 2007 :: 2 :: 4. In this review petition, it is contended that this court had not adverted to the alternate prayer made in the writ petition for a direction to the respondents to conduct a fresh selection process to fill up the remaining vacancies in the category of Section Officers. 5. Petitioners had not urged the above contention at the time when the writ petition was being disposed of. The judgment was dictated in open court. Therefore, the request now made to allow the above prayer cannot be entertained at this stage. 6. Further, petitioner cannot be heard to say that the University should be directed to hold a fresh selection process to fill up the vacancies either in the category of Section Officers or any other. The appointing authority has to be given the liberty to decide when and in what mode (subject to the rules and regulations) the vacancies are to be filled up. 7. I do not find any merit in the review petition. It may be true that in the course of the hearing, the learned Standing R.P.No.489 OF 2008 IN W.P.(C)No.17202 OF 2007 :: 3 :: Counsel for the University might have mentioned that a fresh notification would be issued to fill up the remaining vacancies. But still, the said statement will not confer any right on the petitioner to insist that the University should issue a notification to fill up the remaining vacancies. Review petition is dismissed.
