THE SECRETARY, KERALA PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION, PATTOM, THIRUVANANTHAPURAM ADV.SRI.ALEXANDER THOMAS, S.C., KPSC. THIS WRIT APPEAL HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 17/07/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: KURIAN JOSEPH & K.SURENDRA MOHAN, JJ. -------------------------------------------- W.A. No.838 of 2009 ---------------------------------------------- Dated 17th July, 2009. J U D G M E N T Kurian Joseph, J. Appellant is the writ petitioner. The writ petition was filed praying for a direction to conduct valuation of the petitioner's answer script for the written examination to the post of Assistant Engineer (Civil) held on 21.8.2004 manually. Petitioner had approached this court earlier leading to Ext.P8 judgment in W.P.(C) No.32983/2006, pursuant to which Ext.P10 order was passed by the Secretary. Since the direction was to be complied with by the Chairman, the petitioner has approached this court in the present writ petition. By the time the writ petition came up before the learned Single Judge on 18.3.2008, the ranked list had already expired. It is brought to the notice of this court that the ranked list had expired as early as on 21.12.2006. Though the petitioner attempted for review of the judgment, that was also dismissed. 2. The appellant submits that there may be a direction to the Public Service Commission to value the answer sheet with OP NO.838/2009 2 notice to the appellant also. We do not think that the appellant would be in a position to gain any advantage out of such an exercise since ultimately, the appellant will not be entitled to any relief in view of the expiry of the ranked list. Therefore, leaving open all the contentions taken by the appellant/writ petitioner, the writ appeal is closed. I.A.No.327/09 : Dismissed. KURIAN JOSEPH, JUDGE. K.SURENDRA MOHAN, JUDGE. tgs KURIAN JOSEPH & K.SURENDRA MOHAN, JJ. ---------------------------------------------- W.A.
