J U D G M E N T Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that in view of the fact that one vacancy of HSA (Malayalam) under the category earmarked for the ministerial staff has been reported to the Commission and also since the Commission has issued a notification pursuant thereto on June 12, 2007, no further orders are necessary in this writ petition. 2. In fact the Commission has got a definite case that the petitioner has filed the writ petition under a misapprehension. The Commission had not invited any application from the departmental candidates under the above quota as contended by the petitioner. The vacancy was reported to the Commission only on August 12, 2005. However petitioner had filed the writ petition on the basis of a news paper report as could be seen from Ext.P1. It is contended by the learned Standing Counsel that at the relevant point of time when Ext.P1 paper report came, the Commission had not taken a decision to notify the post. Now a decision has been taken and notification has been issued on June 12, 2006. Anyhow, I do not propose to go into that area of controversy in view of the intervening development. The writ petition is closed with a direction to the Commission to ensure that the selection process is completed without any delay. A.K. Basheer Judge. an.
