JUDGMENT Radhakrishnan,J. This Writ Appeal is preferred by the petitioner seeking a direction to advise and appoint the petitioner to the post of Assistant Engineer (Civil) on the basis of her inclusion in the ranked list. Admittedly, the ranked list had expired on 30.12.2004. Chief Engineer filed an affidavit wherein it is stated that all the available vacancies were reported. Learned single Judge took the view that the point to be decided is whether the vacancies arose in the quota set apart for direct recruitment of Graduate Engineers from the open market or not. The learned single Judge accepted the statement of the appointing authorities, concerning the vacancies available and reported. We find no reason to take a different view from that of the learned single Judge. In the circumstances, we find no merit in this Writ Appeal and the same is dismissed. K.S.Radhakrishnan, Judge. Antony Dominic, Judge. ess 19/7
