SRI.ALEXANDER THOMAS,SC,KPSC THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 17/06/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: Kss K.SURENDRA MOHAN, J ........................................... WP(C).NO.8854 OF 2010 ............................................ DATED THIS THE 17TH DAY OF JUNE, 2010 JUDGMENT The petitioners have filed this writ petition complaining that the notification issued by the third respondent, Public Service Commission (PSC), evidenced herein by Ext.P2 is wrong for the reason that it has notified 16 vacancies whereas the actual number of vacancies is only 14. The first respondent, Bank has filed a statement, whereunder it has been admitted that the number of vacancies notified as per Ext.P2 is not correct. According to the Bank, the request given by them to the PSC suffered from a mistake on the basis of which the Commission had issued the notification. Thus, the mistake has been carried over to the notification also. 2. In view of the fact that the number of vacancies notified in Ext.P2 is wrong, it is only proper that the mistake is rectified at the earliest. For the purpose, the first respondent Bank shall initiate appropriate proceedings which are to be routed through the second respondent, Registrar of Co-operative Societies. It is submitted by the Wpc 8854/2010 2 counsel for the PSC that unless a proper request routed through the Registrar of Co-operative Societies is received by the PSC, no action could be taken in the matter. 3. Since the mistake has been committed by the first respondent, Bank, it is upto the Bank to take appropriate proceedings to rectify the mistake. For the purpose, the Bank shall initiate appropriate action, routing the same through the second respondent Registrar of Co- operative Societies to the third respondent, PSC. On receipt of such a request, the PSC shall initiate necessary action for rectifying the mistake. Until the mistake is rectified as indicated above, no advise for appointment shall be made with respect to two out of 16 vacancies notified by Ext.P2. This writ petition is disposed of with the above directions. No costs. K.SURENDRA MOHAN, JUDGE lgk
