Nos.1563, 5270 & 23512 of 2002 .................................................................... Dated this the 8th day of July, 2008. JUDGMENT Ramachandran Nair, J. The petitioners were selected by PSC for appointment to KSEB as Cashiers. Inspite of issuing Advise Memo by PSC, KSEB denied appointment and consequently these O.Ps. were filed in 2002. Standing Counsel for KSEB submitted that petitioners in O.P. 1563/2002 were appointed. Since others were also advised by PSC, the Board is bound to appoint them. The O.Ps. are therefore disposed of directing the KSEB to absorb all those who have been advised by PSC. C.N.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR Judge V.K.MOHANAN Judge pms
