They have filed these writ petitions for a direction to the respondents to report vacancies to the PSC so as to enable the PSC to issue advice memos for those vacancies as per the rank list. Originally by filing a statement, the learned Government Pleader took the contention that no vacancies were available for reporting to the PSC. But today, the learned counsel for the petitioners in W.P.(C). No.37798/2010 has produced Ext.P5 order of the Government dated 1.3.2011, wherein the Government has directed the Controller of Legal Metrology Department to report ten vacancies to the PSC for appointment to the post of Inspector, Legal Metrology. In view of Ext.P5 order in W.P.(C). No.37798/2010, the 2nd respondent in that writ petition, the Controller of Legal Metrology, is bound to report ten vacancies as directed by the Government. Accordingly, these writ petitions are disposed of with a direction to the Controller of Legal Metrology to report ten vacancies in the post of Inspector, Legal w.p.c.31249/10 & cc. 2 Metrology, to the Public Service Commission, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within two weeks from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this judgment, but before the expiry of the rank list.
