JUDGMENT The writ petition was filed seeking for a direction to the third respondent to issue advice memo to the petitioners. By interim order dated 18.4.2008 this Court directed the competent authority to report the existing vacancies. Learned Govt. Pleader submitted that one vacancy was reported on 24.4.2008. It is evident that the Public Service Commission would have advised the candidate eligible to be appointed. Whatever that be, as pointed out by the learned Standing Counsel for the Commission, the list has already expired on 28.4.2008. Therefore, the writ petition has become infructuous and it is accordingly disposed of. No costs. (T.R. Ramachandran Nair, Judge.) kav/
