Her Rank No. is 99 and the list is to expire on 29/5/2010. According to the petitioner, there are 13 vacancies in Kollam District, which are to be reported to the PSC. In support of this contention, petitioner relies on Exts.P2 to P11. 2. The 3rd respondent has filed a counter affidavit where the availability of vacancies asserted by the petitioner has been denied. According to the 3rd respondent, the information that was obtained by the petitioner on the basis of which the aforesaid assertion is made is factually incorrect and with reference to each of the hospitals in Kollam District, the vacancy position has been explained. According to the 3rd respondent, there is only one vacancy available and the said vacancy has already been reported to the PSC. 3. Going by the facts disclosed in the affidavit filed by the 3rd respondent, there is no reason to think that there exists any WPC No. 4491/10 :2 : vacancy to be reported. 4. In view of the above, there is no material for this Court to accept the contention of the petitioner about the existence of vacancies and to issue a direction for reporting such vacancies. In view of the above, I am not inclined to issue the direction sought for. Writ petition is dismissed. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE Rp
