ORDER

Vinod Chandran, J.

The review is filed, as permitted by the Hon'ble Supreme Court in Annexure A1 order, in a special leave to appeal filed against the judgment under review. The Hon'ble Supreme Court granted liberty to file a review petition on any other factual aspects to be considered, not being covered by the decision of the Hon'ble Supreme Court in Aneesh Kumar V.S v. State of Kerala [ 2020(7) SCC

301].

2. The judgment under review affirmed the order of the Kerala Administrative Tribunal (KAT) which rejected the prayer of the applicants/petitioners to extend the validity of the ranked list beyond its date of expiry, 31.08.2019. The Division Bench relied on Subina v. State of Kerala [ 2019(3) KLT 735 ].

3. We heard Sri. Renjith B Marar for the review petitioners and Sri. P.C Sasidharan, Standing Counsel for the Kerala Public Service Commission (KPSC).

4. The claim of the petitioners in the OA before the Tribunal was to extend the period of validity of the ranked list in which they figured, which were produced at Annexures A2 to A16. The ranked lists were of candidates for the post of Lower Division Typists, in the various districts and departments which came into effect on 31.
