J U D G M E N T Petitioner claims that he belongs to Other Backward Community and eligible for reservation in the matter of appointment. He was included in the ranked list published by the Kerala Pubic Service Commission for appointment to the post of Lecturer in Civil Engineering in the Technical Education Department (Engineering Colleges). He was placed at rank No.14 in the said list which came into force in July 2004. It is the admitted position that the list has already been expired on July 26, 2007. 2. The grievance of the petitioner is that all the available vacancies are not being reported by the Department. Anyhow in view of intervening development, it is not necessary to deal with the various contentions raised by the petitioner. 3. In the counter affidavit it is averred by respondent No.2 that all the vacancies including the two N.J.D vacancies which were available had been reported to the Commission on June 25, 2007. Ext.R2(c) shows that the 2 NJD vacancies are that of Mohanan.P. and Prashanth.T. It is contended by the petitioner that he will be entitled to get one of the two NJD vacancies going by his rank position and the communal rotation. 4. Learned Standing Counsel for the Commission submits that advice will be issued on the basis of the communal rotation roster and other relevant Rules. This shall be done as expeditiously as possible. Writ Petition is closed. A.K. Basheer Judge. an.
