P.N.RAVINDRAN, J. ----------------------------------------- O.P.No.25987 of 2002 ----------------------------------------- Dated this the 7th day of June, 2010 JUDGMENT This writ petition was filed on 11-9-2002 challenging Ext.P4 short list of candidates eligible to be called for interview for selection to the post of Ophthalmic Assistant/Refractionist/Orthoptist in the Health Services Department. Though the petitioner had prayed for an order staying the interview for selection, no interim relief was granted. The Kerala Public Service Commission therefore, conducted the interview in September 2002. It is submitted that the ranked list was prepared and published thereafter and that the validity of the ranked list has also expired. In such circumstances as the selected candidates are not on the party array and the ranked list has ceased to be in force, no relief can be granted to the petitioners. The original petition is accordingly dismissed as infructuous. P.N.RAVINDRAN, Judge. ahg.
