THIS WRIT APPEAL HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 10/06/2011, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: C.N. RAMACHANDRAN NAIR & P.S. GOPINATHAN, JJ. = = = = = = = = = = = W.A. NO. 699 OF 2011 = = = = = = = = = = = = = DATED THIS, THE 10TH DAY OF JUNE, 2011. J U D G M E N T C.N. Ramachandran Nair, J. Appellants are included in the rank list prepared for appointment to the post of ICDS Supervisors under the Anganwadi workers' quota. The party respondents are departmental staff of the Social Works Department who got selection in the promotion quota. Even though the appellants are in the select list, quota for appointment reserved for them ie. 25%, is already over. However, appellants' case is that if the party respondents are not eligible for appointment, appellants should be appointed. After hearing the learned counsel appearing for the appellants and the counsel appearing for the party respondents, we do not find any merit in the appellants' case that the remaining vacancies should be filled up by appointing them. The appellants cannot claim appointment because the quota for Anganwadi workers is already filled up. However, we make it clear that if any vacancy arises in the quota reserved to Anganwadi workers, such vacancy should be filled up from among candidates selected including the appellants, based on the rank list. The writ appeal is dismissed with the above observation. C.N. RAMACHANDRAN NAIR, (JUDGE) P.S. GOPINATHAN, (JUDGE) knc/-
