ADV.SRI.G.SUDHEER, (R8) THIS WRIT APPEAL HAVING BEEN FINALLY HEARD ON 18/01/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: K.BALAKRISHNAN NAIR & C.T.RAVIKUMAR, JJ. ---------------------------------------------- W.A. No.2159 of 2008 ---------------------------------------------- Dated 18th January, 2010. J U D G M E N T Balakrishnan Nair, J. The first appellant was the additional 5th respondent in the writ petition. The second appellant approached this Court, after obtaining leave from this Court, as he was not a party to the writ petition. By the judgment under appeal, the learned Single Judge found that respondents 1 to 4 were also entitled to be included in the rank list published on 17.10.2005, by the Public Service Commission, for appointment to the post of Offset Printing Machine Operator Grade II. The appellants apprehended that those persons may be ranked above the appellants, and the same may affect the advices already made in their cases, by the Public Service Commission. But, it so happened that the inclusion of respondents 1 to 4 has not, in any way, affected the appellants. Therefore, it is not necessary for us to consider the Writ Appeal on merits. Accordingly, it is closed as infructuous. K.BALAKRISHNAN NAIR, JUDGE. C.T.RAVIKUMAR, JUDGE. tgs K.BALAKRISHNAN NAIR & C.T.RAVIKUMAR, JJ. ---------------------------------------------- W.A.
