No.23760 of 2008 --------------------------------- Dated, this the 5th day of November, 2008 J U D G M E N T The petitioners are candidates, who were included in serial Nos.17 & 20 of Ext.P1 ranked list published by the Public Service Commission, for the post of Lecturer in Electrical and Electronics in the Technical Education Department. In this writ petition, their complaint is that though vacancies were available, such vacancies were not reported. It is seen from Paragraph 3 of the statement filed by the 2nd respondent that on 06/08/2008 and 22/08/2008, they have reported 5 Non Joining Duty vacancies to the 3rd respondent. Now, that five NJD vacancies have been reported, it is up to the 3rd respondent to advise the candidates against those vacancies. This, the 3rd respondent shall do as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within four weeks of production of a copy of this judgment. The writ petition is disposed of as above. (ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE) jg
