PLEADER SHRI.SANDESH RAJA THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 31/01/2011, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S.SIRI JAGAN, J. ================== W.P.(C).No.618 of 2011 ================== Dated this the 31st day of January, 2011 J U D G M E N T The petitioners are U.D. Typists in the Department of Commercial Taxes, who aspire for promotion to the post of Commercial Tax Inspectors. For the same, the rules prescribe passing of an eligibility test. The grievance of the petitioners is that the PSC is not conducting the eligibility test and, therefore, the petitioners are not being considered for promotion for want of pass in the eligibility test. 2. In view of the averments in the writ petition, I directed the learned standing counsel for the PSC to get instructions as to whether the PSC has any intention to conduct the eligibility test for by transfer appointment and if so, within what time they would conduct the test. Today, the learned standing counsel for the PSC submits that the eligibility test can be conducted and completed before the end of June, 2011. This is recorded and the writ petition is closed.
