J U D G M E N T The petitioners challenge the action of the Public Service Commission in fixing cut off marks for written test in inclusion of Ext.P2 short list. 2. Admittedly, pursuant to Ext.P2 short list, a final ranked list dated 10.11.2006 has already been published, the validity of which has expired long back. Therefore, there is no point in considering this writ petition on merits. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed. Sd/- S. Siri Jagan, Judge. Tds/
