J U D G M E N T Petitioner claims that he has completed Vocational Higher Secondary Course in Live Stock Management (Diary Husbandry) and therefore is eligible to be appointed as Farm Assistant (Veterinary) Grade II in the Kerala Agricultural University. However he apprehended that the University was likely to fill up the vacancies in the above cadre from in-service candidates and without recourse to the provisions contained in the University First Statutes. It is in the above circumstances that the writ petition has been filed praying for issuance of a writ of mandamus or such other appropriate writ or direction to the respondents to refrain from filling up the vacancies in the above cadre. The specific contention of the petitioner appears to be that Ext.P6 order issued by the University had been superseded by introduction of the First Statutes. Ext.P2 is stated to be the notification issued by the Government in this regard in March 1993. Anyhow, I do not deem it necessary to refer to the various contentions raised by the petitioner in view of the categoric averments made in the statement filed on behalf of the University. It is averred in the statement that the post of Farm Assistant (Veterinary) Grade II will be filled up only through notification and after following the procedure laid down in the Statute. It is further stated that the petitioner is also free for applying to the post as and when the notification is issued, provided the certificate obtained by him is declared as equivalent to Livestock Assistant Training Course. It is further stated that the University has not so far initiated any action to fill up the vacancies of the above post. Learned counsel submits that in view of the averments made in the statement, no further orders are necessary. Therefore the Writ Petition is closed recording the statements made by the University as indicated above. A.K. Basheer, Judge. 2
