CHANDRAMOHAN DAS W.P.(C)NO.27172 OF 2007 THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 15/11/2007, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S. SIRI JAGAN, J. --------------------------------- W.P.(C)No. 27172 OF 2007 --------------------------------- Dated this the 15th day of November, 2007 JUDGMENT The 1st petitioner is a Trade Union representing Abkari Workers, who are working on daily wages in the Kerala State Beverages Corporation. By Ext.P2 judgment, this Court frowned upon the continuance of temporary employees, as a result of which the 3rd respondent has now reported the vacancies occupied by the members of the 1st petitioner Union for regular recruitment through Public Service Commission. 2. The contention of the petitioner in this writ petition is that while vacancies occupied by them temporarily are being reported to the Public Service Commission, the vacancies occupied by other similarly placed persons are not being reported. 3. A counter affidavit has been filed on behalf of the 3rd respondent in which it is categorically stated that all vacancies available have been reported to the Public Service Commission. As such, I do not find any merit in this writ petition. Even W.P.(c)No.27172/07 2 otherwise in so far as Ext.P2 judgment has become final, the petitioners cannot now stake any claim for continuance in employment. In the above circumstances, the writ petition is dismissed. S. SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE Acd W.P.(c)No.27172/07 3
