JUDGMENT
The petitioners are included in the rank list
published by the Public Service Commission for the post
of Women Police Constables on 10.1.2004. They have
approached this court aggrieved by what they perceive as
‘failure’ on the part of the respondents in reporting the
vacancies available in Ernakulam District.
2. Pursuant to the orders passed by this court, a
statement has been filed by the 3rd respondent.
Paragraph 2 of the statement reads as follows:
“It is submitted that, as per G.O.(P)No.33/89/Home
dated 10.3.1989 recruitment of police constables to the
District AR was stopped by Government. Since then
the vacancies of District AR were filled up by
transferring the trained and ripe Police Constables
from Armed Police Battalions. Recruitment vacancies
in AP Battalion are filled from PSC. When the
petitioners had submitted a request under Right to
Information Act seeking information in respect of the
available vacancies of Women Police Constables in
Ernakulam District on 7-9-2007 and 15-9-2007 there
were 41 vacancies of Women Police Constables (40
vacancies in Kochi City & 1 vacancy in Ernakulam
Rural). For these vacancies 43 Women Police
W.P.(C).NO.36478/07
:: 2 ::
Constables, who had completed 9 months basic
training at Kerala Police Academy, Thrissur, were
attached to Ernakulam District vide Order
No.A5/7085/07 dated 19-112007 of Inspector General
of Police, APBN & TP, Thiruvananthapuram, for 6
months practical training at the various stations of
Kochi City and Ernakulam Rural. On completion of 6
months practical training they will be posted in the
existing vacancies of Ernakulam District.”
3. In the result, I am not in a position to hold
that there are any vacancies in the post in question,
which remains to be reported as such or that there is any
failure on the part of the respondents to report the
available vacancies. Paragraph 2 of the counter affidavit
filed by the 3rd respondent is recorded.
Writ petition is disposed of accordingly.
