Abdul Gafoor,J.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
      The  Government  as  well  as  the   second  respondent in  the<\/p>\n
writ   petition     are     aggrieved   by   the   judgment   in   W.P.(C)<\/p>\n
27679\/2005   whereby  Ext.P7   has   been  quashed       directing    the<\/p>\n
Government   to consider the matter again.   The fact position of<\/p>\n
the case is as follows:\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
      2. The writ petitioner Regi.C.George was a Food Inspector.<\/p>\n
He was promoted to the post of Chief Food Inspector and he is<\/p>\n
occupying the promotion post since   27-5-2000, though there is<\/p>\n
allegation   that   he   was   occupying   that   post   on   officiation   even<\/p>\n
earlier.       While   posting   him   as   Chief   Food   Inspector,   his   junior<\/p>\n
was posted as District   Food Inspector, the category to be filled<\/p>\n
up  by transfer of the incumbents working in the category of the<\/p>\n
W.A.NOS.815&1312\/2006                   -2-<\/span><\/p>\n
Chief Food Inspector.   The appointment by transfer is regulated<\/p>\n
by  Rule  28(b)  of  the  Kerala  State  &  Subordinate  Service Rules.<\/p>\n
Necessarily   the   incumbent   to   be   posted   by   transfer   shall   be<\/p>\n
suitable   senior most incumbents in the category of   Chief Food<\/p>\n
Inspector.     Therefore,   the   Government   found   it   erroneous   to<\/p>\n
retain   Regi.C.George as Chief Food Inspector and his junior   as<\/p>\n
District   Food   Inspector   and   accordingly   rectified   that   error   by<\/p>\n
posting Regi.C.George   as District Food Inspector.   According to<\/p>\n
him,   he   had   already   relinquished   the   posting     as   District   Food<\/p>\n
Inspector.  But this was disputed by the Government stating that<\/p>\n
there   was   no   relinquishment   letter   in   advance   before   such<\/p>\n
posting.     Anyhow   he   approached   this   Court   aggrieved   by   his<\/p>\n
posting   as     District   Food   Inspector.     This   Court   directed<\/p>\n
consideration   of   the   matter     by   the   Government   and   the<\/p>\n
Government   passed   Ext.P5.     The   relinquishment     was   rejected.<\/p>\n
This   was   again   challenged   before   this   Court     by   filing     a   writ<\/p>\n
petition   which   resulted   in   Ext.P6   judgment   wherein   fresh<\/p>\n
consideration  was  directed.   In  Ext.P6  judgment  it was  directed<\/p>\n
as follows:\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
               “In such circumstances, the writ petition is<\/p>\n
W.A.NOS.815&1312\/2006                 -3-<\/span><\/p>\n
             disposed   of   with   a   direction   to   the   first<\/p>\n
             respondent to consider and pass orders on<\/p>\n
             Exts.P13   and   P14   in   accordance   with   law.<\/p>\n
             No doubt learned counsel for the petitioner<\/p>\n
             referred to the provisions of Rule 38 of the<\/p>\n
             K.S.&   S.S.R.,   which   provides   that   a<\/p>\n
             relinquishment can be rejected only on the<\/p>\n
             reasons   of   public   interest.                If   the<\/p>\n
             relinquishment   given   by   the   petitioner     is<\/p>\n
             accepted,   then   there   will   be   a   further<\/p>\n
             direction that the petitioner shall be posted<\/p>\n
             back   as   Chief   Food   Inspector,   Mobile<\/p>\n
             Vigilance Squad, Kozhikode and the second<\/p>\n
             respondent shall be placed back as District<\/p>\n
             Food   Inspector,   Wayanad.     A   decision   in<\/p>\n
             this regard shall be taken within a period of<\/p>\n
             four   weeks   from   the   date   of   receipt   of   a<\/p>\n
             copy of this judgment.”\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
<\/blockquote>\n
In   Ext.P7   again   the   relinquishment   has   been   rejected     in   the<\/p>\n
following lines:\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
             “As   per   Rule   38   of   the   K.S.&   S.S.R,.a<\/p>\n
             relinquishment can be accepted only if it is<\/p>\n
             not   opposed   to   public   interest.     Order<\/p>\n
             number   referred   to   as   fourth   paper   above<\/p>\n
W.A.NOS.815&1312\/2006                  -4-<\/span><\/p>\n
             was   issued   to   rectify   the   irregularities   in<\/p>\n
             order No.read as 1st paper above.  It is done<\/p>\n
             on   public   interest.     Sri.Regi.C.George   had<\/p>\n
             accepted the grade promotion in the post of<\/p>\n
             Food Inspector on condition that he will not<\/p>\n
             relinquish   promotion   in   the   normal   line   as<\/p>\n
             per   the   condition   for   giving   grade<\/p>\n
             promotion.           Hence   the   relinquishment<\/p>\n
             request   of   Sri.   Regi.C.George   is   rejected<\/p>\n
             and   the   status   quo   as   ordered   in   Order<\/p>\n
             No.EG1-24854\/05\/DHS   dated           20-05-<\/p>\n
             2005 is maintained.”\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
<\/blockquote>\n
This was  challenged in W.P.(C)No.27679\/2005 by Regi.C.George<\/p>\n
again contending that the   rejection of the relinquishment is not<\/p>\n
in public interest as required   in Rule 38 of the General Rules in<\/p>\n
K.S.& S.S.R., but because of the fact that he had obtained grade<\/p>\n
promotion   while   working   as   Food   Inspector   with   the   condition<\/p>\n
that he will not relinquish regular  promotions.  According to him,<\/p>\n
further promotion was to the post of  Chief Food Inspector which<\/p>\n
he  accepted.  The post of District Food Inspector is  yet another<\/p>\n
category,   though   on   the   same   scale   of   pay   to   be   filled     by<\/p>\n
appointment   on  transfer    from   Chief   Food   Inspector.   Therefore,<\/p>\n
W.A.NOS.815&1312\/2006                    -5-<\/span><\/p>\n
that  cannot be a reason to reject the  relinquishment.<\/p>\n
      3.   The   portion   extracted     in   Ext.P7   impugned   order     as<\/p>\n
above does not spell out   the     germane consideration in terms<\/p>\n
of  Rule 38  of  the  General  Rules  as to  whether   it  was in public<\/p>\n
interest.   Consideration   of   public   interest   in   a   posting   like     this<\/p>\n
shall reflect  the following  aspects generally.<\/p>\n
      a) whether experience in working   as Chief Food Inspector<\/p>\n
is   essential     for   being     posted   as   District   Food   Inspector   for<\/p>\n
efficient   and   effective     administration   of   the   department   and<\/p>\n
whether    that   will   have   to   be     the   prime  most   consideration   of<\/p>\n
public interest.?\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
      b)   Continuance   of   an     incumbent   in     the   post   for   long   as<\/p>\n
Chief Food Inspector will be conducive  to public interest.<\/p>\n
      c)Whether  the relinquishment  of  the post of District Food<\/p>\n
Inspector   by   one   incumbent         resulting   in   another     being<\/p>\n
retained as District Food Inspector is conducive to public interest.<\/p>\n
      4. Other aspects also may  arise in  public interest.  Nothing<\/p>\n
of  that  sort   is  reflected in  Ext.P7.   In such circumstances, it is<\/p>\n
only appropriate that the Government shall consider                      all   the<\/p>\n
above aspects and any further aspect  germane  to public interest<\/p>\n
W.A.NOS.815&1312\/2006                 -6-<\/span><\/p>\n
and     pass   fresh   orders     within   two   months   from   the   date   of<\/p>\n
receipt of a copy of this judgment.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
       Pending   consideration     by   the   Government,   status   quo   as<\/p>\n
on today with respect to the parties in the Writ appeal  shall be<\/p>\n
maintained.     The   posting   of   incumbents   shall   also   be   based   on<\/p>\n
the norms.  The writ appeal is disposed of accordingly.<\/p>\n
