Writ petition was preferred by the petitioner seeking a writ of mandamus directing the 3rd respondent to report 628 substantive vacancies of Sub Inspector of Police (General Executive Branch) (Trainee) due to the PSC hands forthwith. 2. Counsel appearing for the appellant placed reliance on Ext.P8 communication received from the Right to Information Act by which he was informed that 254 vacancies are available to the post of Sub Inspectors in General Executive Branch. Learned counsel appearing for the appellant also referred to paragraph 5 of the counter affidavit filed by the second respondent wherein it has been stated that 230 vacancies were reported to PSC as on 23.11.2004. Counsel therefore submits the reliance can be placed on Ext.P8. W.A.No.2243 OF 2007 :: 2 :: 3. We find it unnecessary to pronounce upon this fact finally since the writ petition itself is pending consideration before the Learned Single Judge. Petitioner/appellant, if so advised, may approach the Learned Single Judge. Writ appeal is disposed of as above. K.S.RADHAKRISHNAN, JUDGE A.K.BASHEER, JUDGE jes
