The said judgment and order was set aside in writ appeal.
Persons selected to the post of Sales Tax Officers in the Agricultural Income Tax and Sales tax Department by the Kerala Public Service Commission filed petitions in the High Court.
Hence petitions appeals were allowed and the Secretary, Board of Revenue Taxes was directed to work out 20 of the successive substantive vacancies for direct recruitment as on 11th August, 1987 and arising thereafter as per the Special Rules so as to enable the Public Service Commission to appoint the eligible candidates.
That order is challenged before us in this appeal by special leave.
As authorities failed to appoint them against the vacancies that arose in the quota earmarked for direct recruits and since only a limited number of candidates have been appointed, they approached the Court for a mandamus and companysequential directions.
Shah, J. Leave granted.
These appeals are filed against the companymon judgment and order passed in Original Petition Nos.11764 of 1996, 6540, 12539 and 13871 of 1997 and W.A. Nos.1842 and 1938 of 1996, 84 and 351 of 1997 by the Division Bench of the Kerala High Court on 16th April, 1998.
