According to the petitioner, he had responded to the notification and was ranked as 7 in the rank list. Petitioner complains that, though none were appointed from out of the rank list and that the rank list is valid till April, 2009, the first respondent has now issued Ext.P3, a fresh notification inviting applications to the aforesaid post. Petitioner complains that this has been done despite the availability of the vacancies which ought to be filled up from out of Ext.P2 rank list itself. 2 2. The case was adjourned for the instructions of the Government Pleader. Government Pleader on instruction submits that, though steps have been taken by Ext.P3, during the currency of the rank list if there is any vacancy requiring to be filled up arises, the same will be filled up from Ext.P2 rank list itself. This statement of the Government Pleader will redress the grievance of the petitioner. Recording the aforesaid submission of the Government Pleader, the writ petition is closed.
