J U D G M E N T
The main prayer made in this writ petition against
the respondent-Water Authority is that vacancy shall be
reported by the Authority for direct recruitment of
last grade servants from the rank list published by the
Public Service Commission. The P.S.C. has to advise
candidates from the list prepared by it for appointment
of last grade servants in various departments under the
Government or from the list published by it for
appointment of last grade servants in the Boards,
Companies, Authorities, etc. under the Government, as
notified. The Water Authority cannot abdicate its
functions by not reporting the vacancies to the
P.S.C, properly.
2. The pleadings in the writ petition do not
clearly furnish the exact number of vacancies of last
grade servants as sanctioned by the competent authority
and reportable to the P.S.C. for direct recruitment.
However, the respondent-Authority shall assess the
number of vacancies to be reported to the P.S.C. and
WPC No.31493 /2006 -2-
appropriate measures taken, as expeditiously as
possible. Vacancies thus assessed and found reportable
shall be reported to the P.S.C. for appointment of last
grade servants under the Authority within two weeks on
the petitioner producing a copy of the judgment before
the respondent-Authority. The P.S.C. shall take
appropriate action as ordained by the rules and
regulations on the subject.
