(Dated this the 12th day of April 2024) The I.A. are Allowed Writ Petitions.

2. As per Ext. P2, there was a direction to the respondent Kozhikode District Co-operative Bank to report 83 vacancies to the PSC and it was clear that the PSC need not advise any candidte without determination of actual number of vacancies by this court. Subsequently the above writ petitions were disposed of by judgment dated 12.7.2022 and learned single judge of this Court passed the following order:

"Finally, it does not require this Court to say specifically but, as regards the vacancies that have already been reported on the orders of this Court, the sole factum of the expiry of the Rank List will not stand in the way of the petitioners being granted benefits; provided they are found eligible based on the ranking in the said List, as also other criteria and qualifications as are imperative."

3. Now Ext. P7 is issued on 09/04/2024 for the post of Clerk/Cashier in the Kerala State Co-operative Bank Ltd and the last date is fixed for 15/05/2024. Therefore, there will be an interim direction to the respondent KPSC not to fill up the 83 vacancies already reported to the PSC earlier.
