The Supreme Court allowed the Public Service Commission's appeal against the trial court's order. The trial court had declared an omission by the Commission and determined the respondent's correct post, which the Supreme Court found exceeded judicial authority. The Court held that once the Commission exercised its discretionary powers under the relevant law, the trial court could not substitute its own decision or find an omission without all relevant material. Consequently, the trial court's order was set aside, and the Commission was directed to reconsider the emplacement based on the complete picture of the respondent's duties.

JUDGMENT

VASSILIADES, P.: The Judgment of the Court will be given by Mr. Justice Triantafyllides.

TRIANTAFYLLIDES, J.: At this stage, and having regard to the material before the Court, as well as to the submissions of counsel for the parties, we find that the [*670] appropriate course to be taken in. thin appeal is to declare null and void and of no effect whatsoever the decision of the Public Service Commission, of the 26th January, 1966, which has given rise to the present proceedings. We take the view that such decision was reached without the Commission having Before it all the material considerations which make up the complete picture of the duties which the Respondent was carrying out in the service of the Greek Communal Chamber. It is now up to the Commission to reconsider the matter of the emplacement of the Respondent, in the exercise of its relevant powers under section 16(1) of the “Transfer of the Exercise of the Competences of the Greek Communal Chamber, and The Ministry of Education Law", 1965 (Law 12/65), and in the light of all relevant considerations, including the material which was placed before the trial Court at the hearing of the recourse,

In the result the Order of the trial Court appealed against is set aside and the Order of annulment which we have just made is substituted in its place.

Once the Public Service Commission had taken a decision in the matter, in the exercise of its discretionary powers, under the said section 16(1), it was not open to the trial Court to find that there existed on the part of the Commission an omission; nor was it open to such Court to decide, instead of the Commission, what was the post in the public service to which the Applicant ought to have been emplaced, and to make a declaration accordingly.

There shall be no order as to the costs of the appeal.

Appeal allowed.

No order as to costs of the appeal.
