S.SIRI JAGAN, J. --------------------------------------------- R.P.No.445 OF 2005 IN W.P.(C) NO.5710 OF 2005 -------------------------------------------- Dated this the 21st day of October, 2010. O R D E R This writ petition was filed by the petitioners seeking a direction to the respondents to report vacancies for advising from Ext.P3 rank list for appointment to the post of Municipal Secretary Grade III. That list came into force from 31.12.2004. On 17.2.2005 this Court passed an interim direction to the first respondent to report 18 vacancies in the post of Municipal Secretary in the Municipal Common Service within one month from that date. The State had filed this review petition for review of that order. Although notice has been ordered in the review petition, no stay of operation of the judgment was granted. When this matter is taken up today the counsel for the petitioner in the writ petition is absent. The list has long expired. As such there is no point in considering either the writ petition or the review petition on merits at this point of time. Accordingly both are closed. S.SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE. mns
