The first respondent conducted due selection process for the said purpose. Apprehending that the petitioner would not be considered as a Latin Catholic and would not be given the benefit of reservation extended to the Latin Catholic Community, treating her as included in the non-creamy layer, this Writ Petition is filed for a direction to the respondents to include her name in the supplementary list for Latin Catholics. 2. When the matter came up for admission, learned Standing Counsel for the Public Service Commission made available the communication received from the first respondent, No. AVI (2) 123/2010/GW dated 8.1.2010, which contains the following statement: “The petitioner Smt. Sharlet. C. was given the community benefit of LC considering her Non Creamy Layer Certificate (Ext.P4) and was included in the Supplementary list of the Ranked 2 List to the post of Last Grade Servant in various Department in Kozhikode District (Ranked List No.224/08/KKD. Category No.056/06 published on 18.09.2008) assigning Rank No.121.” 3. It is thus evident from the above said communication that the grievance of the petitioner has been redressed. After giving the benefit extended to Latin Catholic, she has been included in the supplementary rank list and assigned rank No.121. The Writ Petition is, therefore, closed. (C.T.
