THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 26/03/2007, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: WP(C).No.9686 of 2007-C. 1 K.K.DENESAN, J. ========================= WP(C).No.9686 OF 2007-C. ========================= Dated this the 26th day of March, 2007. J U D G M E N T The petitioners are candidates included in the rank list published by the Public Service Commission on 14-3-2005 for appointment to the post of Staff Nurses in Alappuzha district. It is contended that the vacancies are not reported to the Commission but sought to be filled up by temporary appointments. The petitioners have sought for direction to the respondents to appoint the petitioners replacing temporary hands and for a further direction to report all the existing and future vacancies to the Public Service Commission, forthwith. 2. Government Pleader, on instructions, submits that no temporary hand is working against sanctioned posts of Staff Nurses. The Hospital Development Committee has engaged some temporary employees based on WP(C).No.9686 of 2007-C. 2 terms and conditions laid down in that respect. Those are not posts or vacancies to be filled up by candidates selected by the Public Service Commission. Substantive vacancies in the post of Staff Nurse found reportable to the Public Service Commission have already been reported. Thus, a total number of 22 vacancies have been reported on 5-3-2007 and 22-3-2007 and the department is awaiting advise letter from the Public Service Commission. 3. Counsel for the petitioners submits that this Court may direct the reporting of future vacancies also which are likely to arise during the currency of the list. 4. In the light of the submission made by the counsel appearing for respondents 2 to 5 that the number of reportable vacancies has been duly assessed I do not think that any further direction need be issued to the respondents specifying any particular number of vacancies. I have no reason to assume that vacancies that will arise during the currency of the list which are required to be filled up through the WP(C).No.9686 of 2007-C. 3 P.S.C. will not be reported to it. Respondent No.1 shall take expeditious steps to see that candidates in the rank list are advised in accordance with law against 22 vacancies already reported. With the above direction, the writ petition is dispose of. K.K.DENESAN, JUDGE. kvs/-
