ALEXANDER THOMAS - SC THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 04/04/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S. SIRI JAGAN, J. ------------------------------------ W.P.(C)No.11606 OF 2008 ---------------------------------------- Dated this the 4th day of April, 2008 JUDGMENT The petitioners are post-graduates in Geography from the Calicut University. Their results were published only on 20.2.2008, allegedly due to delay on the part of the University in publication of results. In the meanwhile, the Public Service Commission issued notification inviting applications for the post of Lecturer in Geography. The last date for submission of application in which was fixed as 30.1.2008. Alleging that for the fault of the University in committing delay in publication of the results, an opportunity of the petitioners to apply for the post may not be denied, the petitioners have submitted Ext.P2 representation before the PSC for re-notifying the vacancies giving the petitioners also an opportunity to apply for the post. 2. This is opposed by the learned standing counsel for the PSC. He submits that a notification once issued cannot be changed as requested by the petitioners. I feel that it is up to the PSC to consider and pass appropriate orders regarding the W.P.(c)No.11606/08 2 same while considering Ext.P2. Accordingly, this writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the 1st respondent consider and pass appropriate orders on Ext.P2 as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. The petitioners shall forward a certified copy of this judgment along with a copy of the writ petition to the 1st respondent for compliance. S. SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE Acd W.P.(c)No.11606/08 3
