BY ADV. SRI. K.I. ABDUL RASHEED. THIS REVIEW PETITION HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 14/11/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: S. SIRI JAGAN, J. ------------------------------------ R.P. No. 377 OF 2008 ---------------------------------------- Dated this the 14th day of November, 2008 ORDER The State has filed this review petition seeking review of my judgment dated 11.12.2007 in W.P.(C) No.28640/2007, wherein I directed the District Collector, Thiruvananthapuram to see that selection of HSA (English) in the vacancies set apart for physically handicapped persons in Thiruvananthapuram District proposed by him is completed within a period of two months. Now the review petition is filed stating that the selection of physically handicapped persons also has been left to the Public Service Commission and therefore the judgment needs to be reviewed. But, on a reading of Annexure-A2 Government Order produced by the State itself, it is seen that the Government has fixed 30.9.2007 as the cut off date for direct recruitment of physically handicapped persons by the District Collector. That means the vacancies, which arose up to 30.9.2007 has to be filled up by the District Collector and only subsequent vacancies can be filled up through PSC. Admittedly in this case, the R.P.No.377/08 2 vacancies arose prior to 30.9.2007. The learned Counsel for the petitioner submits that in fact in Malappuram District, even after the Government Order, appointment has been given to a person selected by the District Collector. In the above circumstances, I am not inclined to entertain this review petition. Accordingly, the review petition is dismissed. S. SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE Acd R.P.No.377/08 3
