There are three other vacancies in the same post and the details of the same are given in I.A.5973/2008. He has brought this to the notice of the third respondent under Ext.P2. 3. I heard learned Government Pleader also. W.P.(C).14068/2008 2 4. In the circumstances, it is appropriate that the third respondent considers Ext.P2 within a short time, taking note of the fact that the petitioner has to go out of service even though PSC hands are yet to report for duty. 5. In the result, writ petition is disposed of directing the third respondent to consider and take appropriate decision on Ext.P2 within a period of two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. At any rate, it shall be done before the existing vacancies in the post of Junior Instructor (Wireman) stated to exist in the three places shown in I.A.5973/2008, are filled. V.GIRI, Judge mrcs
