IN THE HIGH COURT OF KERALA AT ERNAKULAM PRESENT : THE HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE V.GIRI THURSDAY, THE 20TH SEPTEMBER 2007 / 29TH BHADRA 1929 WP(C).No. 28007 of 2007(H) PETITIONERS: 1. K.M.SUBODHKUMAR, S/O RAMAN, KONDARAMPATHUMMALAYAMBATHU HOUSE, CHETTIPPADI P.O., MALAPPURAM DIST. 2. K.V.USHAKUMARI, AJANTHA, THAZE-EDATHODY, VYDHYARANGADI, RAMANATTUKARA, CALICUT DIST. BY ADV.

THE KERALA PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION, REPRESENTED BY ITS SECRETARY, PATTOM, THIRUVANANTHAPURAM. 3. DISTRICT OFFICER, KERALA PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION, DISTRICT OFFICE, MALAPPURAM. R1 BY GOVERNMENT PLEADER SRI.BEJOY CHANDRAN R2 & R3 BY ADV.SRI.ALEXANDER THOMAS THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 20/09/2007, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: V.GIRI, J. ------------------------- W.P.(C).No.28007 of 2007 H ------------------------- Dated this the 20th day of September, 2007. JUDGMENT The petitioner seeks a writ of mandamus commanding respondents 2 and 3 to effect appointment in the vacancies stated to have been reported, as disclosed by Ext.P3 communication, in compliance with Ext.P1 order. Ext.P1 order dated 15.1.2004 in W.P.(C) No.1632/04 reads as follows: “Standing counsel for P.S.C takes notice for the second respondent. Urgent notice to other respondents. The concerned respondents will ensure that posts of Lower Division Typists available at Malappuram district are reported to the P.S.C in any case, within a period of one month from today. In respect of the reported vacancies, appointing authorities should issue appointment orders without delay. Post for further orders on 1.3.04” 2. Essentially, the grievance of the petitioner seems to be regarding the non-compliance of the W.P.(C).No.28007 of 2007 :: 2 :: directions contained in Ext.P1 by the appointing authority. Obviously, the remedy of the petitioner, if any, at this point of time, lies under the Contempt of Courts Act, inasmuch as Ext.P1 order is concerned. A fresh writ petition, in my opinion, in relation to the very same question, is misconceived. Writ petition is accordingly dismissed. Sd/- (V.GIRI) JUDGE sk/ //true copy// P.S. To Judge
