THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 20/10/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: P.N.Ravindran, J. ===================== W.P(C).No.30572 of 2008 ===================== Dated this the 20th day of October, 2008. JUDGMENT The petitioner is a candidate included in Ext.1 ranked list for appointment to the post of Typist in the Kerala State Federation of Scheduled Castes & Scheduled Tribes Development Co-operatives Ltd. The petitioner contends that though vacancies exist, the first respondent is not taking steps to report the vacancies to the second respondent and that unless this Court steps in and issues necessary directions, the first respondent will not report the existing vacancies of Typist before Ext.P1 ranked list expires on 27.10.2008. 2. Sri.T.A.Shaji, the learned standing counsel appearing for the first respondent submits on instructions that there was only one vacant post of Typist in the office of the Federation, that after Ext.P1 ranked list was published the said vacancy was filled up by advising and appointing one among the candidates named therein and that no further vacancy of Typist exists against which the candidates included in Ext.P1 ranked list can be advised. Apart from merely alleging that the first respondent Federation has not correctly assessed the vacancies, no material has been produced before this Court to indicate that vacancies of Typists exist and are available to be reported to the Kerala Public Service Commission. In this state of affairs, no relief can be granted to the WP(C) 30572 -: 2 :- petitioner. The Writ Petition fails and is accordingly dismissed. P.N.Ravindran, Judge. ess 23/10
