A notification issued by the Kerala Public Service Commission had also stated that women will not be entitled to appointment in shop vacancies.<\/p>\n<p>The court directed the Kerala Public Service Commission to advise the petitioners for appointment to the post of peon\/ helper in the corporation from the ranked list immediately, in view of the fact that the persons who are lower down in the ranked list have already been appointed.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This shall be done within a period of two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgement.
