            BY ADV.SMT.ANEETHA A.G., STANDING COUNSEL,
            KERALA STATE ELECTRICITY BOARD LIMITED

     THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION
ON 29.10.2021, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE
FOLLOWING:
 W.P.(C) NO.22568 OF 2021
                                  -3-

                             JUDGMENT

The petitioners have approached this Court, inter alia,

contending that their service certificates to the effect that they

have completed their period of probation and that they are

approved probationers to enable them to apply to the posts of

Assistant Engineers earmarked for in service candidates have not

been issued. During the pendency of the writ petition, the Board

had taken a decision by which it was decided to issue certificate to

such prospective candidates, subject to the outcome of various writ

petitions and proceedings pending before various courts.

When the matter was taken up, the learned counsel for the

petitioners submitted that pursuant to that decision, service

certificates have been issued to them. This is recorded.

Accordingly, I am inclined to close the writ petition, reserving the

right of the petitioners to challenge if any further grievance

survives.
