The petitioner is ranked as rank No.5 as a general merit candidate. Ext.P1 is the copy of the ranked list. It is pointed out that as per rotation, the petitioner's turn is rank No.7 and already six candidates have been advised. 2. The petitioner is relying upon the proposal said to have been forwarded by the Principal, Government Dental College, Kottayam to the 2nd respondent. It is prayed that a direction may be issued to consider the same and the petitioner has also filed a representation as per Ext.P3. 3. As directed by this Court, the 2nd respondent has filed a counter affidavit. It is pointed out therein that no substantive vacancies are available now to report to the Public Service Commission in the post in question. In paragraphs 3 and 4, various details have been stated with regard to the advices W.P.(C) No.7977/2011 2 already made. It is evident from the counter affidavit that rank Nos.1 and 3 who were given extension of time have requested for posting as Lecturer on expiry of extension of joining time granted to them upto 30.05.2011. It is stated that even for accommodating them, there is no post in the department and the matter is now reported to the Government and a clarification is sought whether they can be accommodated against the existing vacancy of Assistant Professor of Community Dentistry at Dental College, Kottayam and Kozhikode. It is finally mentioned in the counter affidavit that there is no vacancy of Lecturer in Dental College to be reported to PSC. In that view of the matter, no further direction as sought for to report vacancy can be issued at this stage. But it is made clear that if a vacancy arises in future, that will be duly taken note of and appropriate action will be taken in accordance with law. This writ petition is disposed of as above. T.R.
