A bench comprising KAT judicial member P.V. Asha and administrative member P.K. Kesavan issued directions to appoint those who had been found eligible for promotion to the posts.
The government pleader submitted that 43 people had been found to be eligible for appointment and that all except one person who has retired will be issued appointment orders within a week. The order was passed on Friday while considering a petition submitted by some of the candidates.
