Ext.P1 is the rank list prepared and published by the 4th<\/p>\n<p>respondent for the post of HSA (Malayalam). It is not in dispute that 14<\/p>\n<p>vacancies were reported and that only 12 candidates were advised.<\/p>\n<p>Petitioner contends that for the remaining two vacancies, candidates are<\/p>\n<p>liable to be advised from Ext.P1 list and if that be so, she being No.1 in the<\/p>\n<p>OBC Supplementary list is entitled to be advised.<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_2\">       3.    On the other hand, referring to Ext.P3, learned counsel for the<\/p>\n<p>4th respondent tells me that the 2 remaining vacancies has been set apart<\/p>\n<p>for re-notification.  When the writ petition was taken up for hearing,<\/p>\n<p>though the counsel for the petitioner does not dispute the aforesaid<\/p>\n<p>statement made by the counsel for the 4th respondent, he contended for<\/p>\n<p>the position that among the candidates advised, there is no OBC candidate<\/p>\n<p>and therefore communal rotation is violated. It is stated that if an OBC<\/p>\n<p>WPC 25310\/08<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\" id=\"span_1\">                                       :2 :<\/span><\/p>\n<p>candidate is advised, petitioner is liable to be advised. Though such a<\/p>\n<p>submission was made, petitioner could not explain at which point of the<\/p>\n<p>roster, the OBC turn has been overlooked. In the writ petition also, there<\/p>\n<p>is no plea that any particular OBC point has been overlooked. If that be<\/p>\n<p>so, I do not find any merit in the contention that OBC point has been<\/p>\n<p>overlooked and vacancies due to them have been set apart for re-<\/p>\n<p>notification.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_3\">       Writ petition fails and is dismissed.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_4\">                                             ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE<br \/>\nRp<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kerala High Court Radha K.R. vs The State Of Kerala on 16 September, 2008 IN THE HIGH COURT OF KERALA AT ERNAKULAM WP(C).No. 25310 of 2008(K) 1.
