This Writ Petition is filed by them, seeking a direction to the appointing authority to retain them in service till PSC hands report for duty. They point out that the Public Service Commission has already conducted the written test for the candidates, who have applied for the post held by them and so, the PSC hands will join duty without delay. 2. The relief sought in this Writ Petition cannot be granted. The petitioners have been appointed for a period of 180 days or till PSC hands join duty, whichever is earlier. Now, their term of appointment is already over. Therefore, they should vacate, to give place to those waiting in the queue in the Employment Exchange. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is dismissed. 24.05.2007 K.BALAKRISHNAN NAIR,JUDGE sta 2
