Now all persons are before this court.” <br /><br />“Opportunities will have to be given to all those affected and those before this court. What is kept in sealed cover should be made known to all persons as it relates to public employment and whether the KPSC and the government have made recruitment in accordance with rules. <br /><br />Having regard to number of people before this court, it will be appropriate that the report-cum-final list prepared by KPSC is web-hosted by them as well as the government,” a division bench comprising Justices N Kumar and B Manohar said in its order.<br /><br />The court also directed the selected candidates to file their objections by the next date of hearing.</p>
