The Chairman, Tamil Nadu Public Service Commission, No.1, Greams Road, Chennai-600 006. : Respondent Prayer: Writ Petition is filed under Article 226 of the Constitution of India praying for the issue of a Writ of Mandamus, directing the respondent to call the petitioner for certificate verification and thereby appoint the petitioner as Steno-Typist Grade-III in Tamil Nadu Ministerial Service/Tamil Nadu Judicial Ministerial Service as per the respondent's notification/advertisement No.135, dated 15.11.2007 for direct recruitment included in Group IV Services. For Petitioner : Mr.M.Kannan For Respondent : Mr.S.P.Maharajan ORDER The petitioner seeks a Writ of Mandamus, directing the respondent to call her for certificate verification and to appoint her as Steno-Typist Grade-III in Tamil Nadu Ministerial Service/Tamil Nadu Judicial Ministerial Service as per the respondent's notification dated 15.11.2007. 2. According to the petitioner, she was placed in the reserved list, as she obtained 207 cut off marks. She belongs to General Category. The respondent is in the process of making appointments and as such, the petitioner was constrained to file the Writ Petition. 3. The learned Standing Counsel for the respondent, on instructions, submits that only those candidates, who got marks upto 210, were called for appointment and as such, there is no basis in the grievance projected by the petitioner. 4. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the candidates, like the petitioner are put in darkness, as the respondent has not published the seniority list of the reserved list https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/ 2 candidates. It is for the Tamil Nadu Public Service Commission to consider this issue, as this would avoid unnecessary litigations at the instance of candidates, whose names were entered in the reserved list, as they apprehend that disregarding the cut off marks, juniors would be given appointment. 5. Since the respondent has appointed only those candidates, who have obtained the cut off mark of 210, there is no question of considering the case of the petitioner. However, it is made clear that in case the Tamil Nadu Public Service Commission considers the case of others in the waiting list, the petitioner should also be considered taking note of her cut off marks. 6. The Writ Petition is disposed of with the above observation. Consequently, the connected miscellaneous petition is closed. No costs.
