SC SRI. ALEXANDER THOMAS BY GOVT. PLEADER SMT. ANU SIVARAMAN THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 18/11/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. -------------------------------------------------- W.P.(C) NO.31033 OF 2009 (Y) -------------------------------------------------- Dated this the 18th day of November, 2009 J U D G M E N T Petitioner is a candidate included in Ext.P1 ranked list published by the Public Service Commission for the post of Reporter Grade-II(Malayalam) under the first respondent. His grievance is that, though there exist 7 vacancies, those vacancies are not reported to the PSC to advise candidates from the list. It is also their case that, if promotions are effected from the post of Reporter Grade-II there would arise more vacancies to advise candidates. 2. Learned Government Pleader on instructions submits that out of 12 vacancies, available 7 vacancies have already been filled up from Ext.P1 list and that remaining 5 vacancies have already been reported to the PSC for advising candidates. Therefore, as at present the available vacancies have been reported and it is for the 2nd respondent to advise candidates from the ranked list. Petitioner may produce a coy of the judgment before the 2nd respondent, who shall take steps for advising candidates from Ext.P1 ranked list, if not already advised. WPC.No.31033 /09 :2 : 3. In so far as the contention of the petitioner that if promotions are effected further vacancies will arise, now that contingency does not exist, as admittedly promotions have not been effected. Therefore, it will be open to the petitioner to approach the appropriate authorities as and when vacancy arises. Writ petition is disposed of as above. (ANTONY DOMINIC) JUDGE vi/
