Ramachandran Nair, J. These review petitions are filed by the respective petitioners seeking to review the common judgment in Writ Appeal No.1451/2006 and connected cases dated 4.4.2007. Since the reliefs sought for in all the review petitions are identical, they are disposed of by this common order. 2. We will refer to the details narrated in the pleadings of the parties in R.P.No.573/2009. The review petitioners are presently working as Assistants Grade II in Calicut University. They have been appointed on a temporary basis. By common judgment in Writ Appeal No.1451/2006 and connected cases, this court directed the University to proceed with the selection process by conducting interview of candidates from the second selection list published. The review petitioners were also participants in the selection process and were interviewed by the selection committee pursuant to the judgment rendered by a Division Bench of this court in Writ Appeal No.1370/2007. They contend for the position that so many vacancies are available and therefore the restrictions in the common judgment, Annexure RP 573/2009, etc. 2 E by confining the selection from the second selection list has to be reviewed. 3. A short history of the dispute thus resolved by this court is the following: The notification published by the Calicut University inviting applications for selection to the post of Assistant Grade II is dated 25.3.2000. 21666 candidates applied for the post. The University conducted a written test of eligible candidates on 10.3.2001. The University short listed 652 candidates and thereafter a rank list was published on 14.5.2002 containing the names of 566 candidates. 4. The entire selection process was challenged in various writ petitions before this court, viz.O.P.No.15309/2002 and connected cases, by persons who were not selected by the University. Some other writ petitions were filed by the candidates included in the rank list seeking to implement the same. By Annexure A common judgment, the writ petitions were disposed of by directing revaluation of the answer sheets by an outside agency, viz Lal Bahadur Sastri Centre for Science & Technology, Trivandrum (L.B.S. Centre for short). The revaluation was ordered in respect of the entire answer sheets of candidates who attended the written examination Accordingly, a further direction was issued to prepare a short list based on the marks awarded by the L.B.S. Centre and to call eligible RP 573/2009, etc. 3 candidates for interview. 5. After the said revaluation, the University published a short list of 444 candidates on 7.7.2006 as Annexure B. For preparing a panel for inviting candidates on the basis of interview, the University had actually short listed 1909 candidates. It was for the reason that there is an increase in the number of vacancies and that the number of candidates included in the short list are too insufficient. Annexure D is the said short list published by the University dated 17.5.2007. The candidates were included therein based on the revaluation done by the L.B.S. Centre. Fresh disputes arose in the matter thereafter. Writ petitions were filed seeking appointments by restricting the selection from 444 candidates alone and some other writ petitions related to the challenge against temporary appointments also. Writ Appeal No.1451/2006 was filed challenging Annexure A judgment of the learned Single Judge. All these matters were heard and disposed of by a common judgment, Annexure E. Therein, this court held that the interview will be conducted from the list containing the total number of 444 candidates published after the revaluation conducted by the L.B.S. Centre (called as the second selection list, the first list being the cancelled one published by the University initially). After considering various aspects elaborately, the University was directed to appoint candidates after RP 573/2009, etc. 4 conducting interview from the second selection list already published. It was also directed that if any daily wages employees are appointed on provisional basis, they cannot continue in regular vacancies for more than two months from the date of judgment. The University thereafter decided to invite 1909 candidates for interview, which was challenged in W.P.(C) No.15528/2007, wherein Annexure F interim order was passed restricting the interview to candidates included only in the second selection list. The matter was taken up in Writ Appeal No.1370/2007 by the University, wherein by Annexure G, the Division Bench permitted interview to be conducted from the second selection list as well as from the additional list published by the University. A direction was issued to the University to maintain two lists for the purpose of conducting interview and separate rank lists be prepared in respect of candidates who have been included in the second selection list and others. By Annexure H interim order, the University was permitted to effect provisional appointment from the second list of candidates who have appeared for the interview, which will be provisional and subject to final orders of this court. Annexure I is another interim order passed by a Division Bench allowing the University to make provisional appointment from the additional list of candidates, prepared as per Annexure E judgment, making it clear that the appointment shall be RP 573/2009, etc. 5 provisional and the appointees will be liable to termination on making regular appointment. 6. The petitioners in the review petitions are also candidates who have been interviewed pursuant to Annexures H and I orders passed by this court. They have been working on provisional basis also. 7. The subsequent batch of writ petitions, viz. W.P.(C) No.15528/2007 and connected cases were disposed of by Annexure K judgment by a Division Bench. The University was directed to proceed with the selection based on Ext.P2 list, in the light of Annexure E judgment passed earlier . Ext.P6 list was quashed. It was held that the list Ext.P2 cannot be expanded. It was also observed that if additional vacancies are available, the only course open to the University is to go for a fresh selection or to seek appropriate clarification from the Division Bench itself or from the appellate court, enabling it to add additional open merit candidates other than the candidates belonging to communities eligible for reservation. Thereafter, the selection process was completed. 8. In para 14 of the review petition, the review petitioners have stated that even though 444 candidates were issued memos to participate in the interview, only 214 candidates turned up for the interview. From the said list, even though 32 persons persons were offered appointment, only 28 RP 573/2009, etc. 6 alone are working as Assistant Grade II in the University. It is the further case of the petitioners that most of the candidates who got ranks in the revaluation, have obtained jobs in other institutions and they did not turn up for appointment to the post of Assistant Grade II. From among the 1405 candidates who were called for the interview, only 782 persons turned up for the interview. 9. It is the case of the petitioners that by confining the selection only from candidates out of 444 included in the second list, an apparent error has been committed by the Division Bench while rendering Annexure E judgment. The notification itself is of the year 2000 and large number of vacancies are existing. In view of the legal dispute, the selection procedure got delayed. Therefore, there is no justification for confining the same to the second list alone. It is also stated that going by the decision of the Syndicate reflected in Annexure C, the rank list will be valid for a period of three years and therefore vacancies which may arise during the currency of the rank list ought to have been directed to be filled up by the Division Bench in Annexure E judgment. The petitioners are also persons who are found eligible by the L.B.S. Centre after revaluation of the answer sheets. 10. Therefore, the sole question is whether the University can be permitted to make appointment from the list prepared from among the RP 573/2009, etc. 7 remaining candidates out of which, 782 candidates have appeared for the interview. 11. The notification itself is dated 25.3.2000. The list published by the University after revaluation by the L.B.S. Centre is dated 7.7.2006. Annexure E judgment whereby the selection process was allowed to be continued from the said list is dated 4.4.2007 and the interview was conducted still later, as per the directions issued in Annexure G judgment dated 12.6.2007. The question is whether the rank list should be kept alive to appoint eligible candidates from the 782 persons interviewed, in the remaining vacancies. 12. Even though learned counsel Senior Counsel appearing for the petitioners pointed out that the period of validity of the rank list will be three years, we are of the view that automatically it cannot pave way for filling up of all arising vacancies for a period of three years from 7.7.2006, for various reasons. Annexure C refers to the decision of the Syndicate taken in the year 1985. A direction to apply the said decision to give a three year period of life to the rank lists prepared, will not be justified. It is true that the selection process was prolonged due to the various litigations and it could be finalised only
