ORDER
In the judgment sought to be reviewed, in paragraph 3, I had recorded the submission of the learned Senior Counsel Sri.Sudhi Vasudevan, that the review petitioners intend to issue a fresh notification under the aegis of the Public Service Commission. This review petition has been filed asserting that even though such a submission was made at the Bar, what was intended was only that a fresh notification will be issued with or without the concurrence of the PSC, as the case may be.
RP 325/18

PSC. Of course, I notice that the learned Standing Counsel for the PSC has a contention quite to the contrary and he asserts that such concurrence is necessary.
