He claims that he is fully qualified for appointment as a Non Vocational Teacher in Commerce in Vocational Higher Secondary Schools by transfer. Public Service Commission invited applications for willingness of appointment by transfer. However, at that time the petitioner was not qualified and therefore, could not participate in selection. However, in the rank list prepared on 29.6.2007, there was no person qualified to be appointed by transfer. The petitioner, therefore, submitted a representation before the second respondent seeking appointment under Rule 9(a)(i) of the Kerala State and Subordinate Service Rules against the vacancies in the quota set apart for ministerial staff of the VHSE Department. The petitioner seeks a direction to the second respondent to consider and pass appropriate orders on Ext.P1 application filed in this regard. W.P.(C).29007/2007 2 2.
