            Heard Sri.P.N.Mohanan and Sri.S.Ramesh Babu, the<\/p>\n
learned counsel appearing for the petitioners, Sri.Ashok M.Cheriyan,<\/p>\n
the learned Standing Counsel appearing for the Kerala State Electricity<\/p>\n
Board and Sri.N.Manoj Kumar, the learned Special Government<\/p>\n
Pleader appearing for the State of Kerala. Common questions arise in<\/p>\n
these writ petitions.      They were therefore heard together and are<\/p>\n
being disposed of by this common judgment.\n<\/p>\n
            2. The petitioners are pensioners. Some of them entered<\/p>\n
service initially in the State Government, later served in the Kerala<\/p>\n
State Electricity Board and again went back to State service. Some of<\/p>\n
them joined the Kerala State Electricity Board and thereafter went<\/p>\n
over to State service. The dispute raised in these writ petitions is<\/p>\n
whether the service rendered by the petitioners in the Kerala State<\/p>\n
Electricity Board can be reckoned for the purpose of grant of<\/p>\n
pensionary benefits.        The State Government had issued G.O.(P)<\/p>\n
No.228\/2001\/Fin. dated 2.2.2001 proposing to amend Rule 20 of Part<\/p>\n
III of the Kerala Service Rules. In the said Government order it was<\/p>\n
O.P.No.6928\/2003 & conncected cases  2<\/p>\n
stipulated that the service if any, put in by Government employees in<\/p>\n
the Municipal Common Service\/Panchayaths\/Universities prior to their<\/p>\n
entry in State Government service including Aided Schools service and<\/p>\n
vice versa can be reckoned for pensionary benefits.     The Government<\/p>\n
also decided to incorporate a note under Rule 20 of Part III of the<\/p>\n
Kerala Service Rules.         It   was also ordered that the formal<\/p>\n
amendments to Part III of the Kerala Service Rules will be issued<\/p>\n
separately. After the aforesaid Government order was issued, some of<\/p>\n
the Government servants who had served for a short spell of time in<\/p>\n
the Kerala State Electricity Board filed a writ petition in this Court<\/p>\n
contending that the service rendered by them in the Kerala State<\/p>\n
Electricity Board before joining the State Government service has to be<\/p>\n
reckoned for the purpose of grant of pension.\n<\/p>\n
             3. A Division Bench of this Court in Babu.P.K. v. Chief<\/p>\n
Engineer, Kerala State Electricity Board<\/a> (2007 (1) KLJ 35) held<\/p>\n
that the Government order dated 2.2.2001 cannot operate since the<\/p>\n
field is occupied by a statutory rule and the statutory rule has not been<\/p>\n
amended.     It was also held that even if Government order dated<\/p>\n
2.2.2001 is applied, it cannot govern the service rendered by<\/p>\n
Government servants in the Kerala State Electricity Board.          I am<\/p>\n
bound by the decision of the Division Bench and applying the dictum<\/p>\n
O.P.No.6928\/2003 & conncected cases  3<\/p>\n
laid down by the Division Bench in the aforesaid decision it has to be<\/p>\n
held that the Government order dated 2.2.2001 cannot govern the<\/p>\n
petitioners. Further, Rule 20 of Part III of the Kerala Service Rules has<\/p>\n
been amended by G.O.(P)No.269\/2008\/Fin. dated 21.6.2008 by<\/p>\n
incorporating a proviso and a note. The Proviso to Rule 20 of Part III of<\/p>\n
the Kerala Service Rules reads as follows:\n<\/p>\n
            “Provided that the past service put in by
\n            Government employees and Aided School\/Aided
\n            College   Teachers     in    Panchayath\/Municipal
\n            Common Service and Universities prior to their
\n            entry in State Government Service or Aided
\n            School\/Aided College Service shall be reckoned as
\n            qualifying service for Pension and Death-cum-
\n            Retirement Gratuity from Government.”\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
On the terms of the proviso to Rule 20, it cannot be stated that the<\/p>\n
service rendered by Government servants in the Kerala State<\/p>\n
Electricity Board has to be reckoned as qualified service for pension<\/p>\n
and DCRG. Therefore, Rule 20 as amended also does not apply to the<\/p>\n
petitioners’ case. Since the proposal set out in the Government order<\/p>\n
dated 2.2.2001 has been carried out by amending the rule, the<\/p>\n
Government order dated 2.2.2001 can no longer be relied upon. Even<\/p>\n
if it is relied upon, as held by the Division Bench it does not govern the<\/p>\n
service rendered by Government servants in the Kerala State<\/p>\n
Electricity Board.     Therefore, the orders impugned in these writ<\/p>\n
O.P.No.6928\/2003 & conncected cases  4<\/p>\n
petitions cannot be said to be illegal or arbitrary.<\/p>\n
             4. I however notice that the Government have in Ext.P24<\/p>\n
order dated 10.1.2008 produced along with I.A.No.5127 of 2009 in<\/p>\n
O.P.No.6928     of 2003,      granted pensionary benefits       to one<\/p>\n
Sri.J.Muhammed Basheer who retired as Under Secretary to<\/p>\n
Government taking into account the service rendered by him in the<\/p>\n
Kerala State Road Transport Corporation as well as in the Kerala State<\/p>\n
Housing Board. Rule 10 of Part III of the Kerala Service Rules states<\/p>\n
that the service of an employee does not qualify for pension unless he<\/p>\n
is appointed, his duties regulated, and paid by the Government or<\/p>\n
under conditions determined by the Government. Rule 11 of Part III<\/p>\n
of the Kerala Service Rules reads as follows:\n<\/p>\n
         “11. Notwithstanding the provisions of Rule 10, the
\n               Government may
\n          (1) declare that any specified kind of service
\n               rendered shall qualify for pension; and
\n          (2) in individual cases, and subject to such
\n               conditions as they may think fit to impose in
\n               each case, allow service rendered by an
\n               employee to count for pension.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
             5. Ext.P24 order discloses that it has been issued invoking<\/p>\n
the power of the Government under sub rule (2) of Rule 11 of Part III<\/p>\n
of the Kerala Service Rules . It was invoking the said power that the<\/p>\n
Government permitted Sri.J.Muhammed Basheer to reckon as<\/p>\n
qualifying service for pensionary benefits, the service rendered by him<\/p>\n
O.P.No.6928\/2003 & conncected cases  5<\/p>\n
in the Kerala State Road Transport Corporation and Kerala State<\/p>\n
Housing Board. Ext.P24 also discloses that the beneficiary of the said<\/p>\n
order was also directed to pay the share of pension contribution that<\/p>\n
the KSRTC and Kerala State Housing Board would have had to pay if<\/p>\n
such service were to be made pensionable. Therefore, notwithstanding<\/p>\n
the fact that I have declined to interfere with the orders impugned in<\/p>\n
these writ petitions, I direct that in the event of the petitioners filing<\/p>\n
appropriate representations under Rule 11(2) of Part III of the Kerala<\/p>\n
Service Rules before the Government, the Government shall consider<\/p>\n
the same and take a decision thereon in accordance with law. Final<\/p>\n
orders in the matter shall be passed, if the petitioners move the<\/p>\n
Government, within six months from the date on which the<\/p>\n
representations are received from the petitioners.<\/p>\n
             The writ petitions are disposed of with the above<\/p>\n
observation.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
                                                  P.N.RAVINDRAN
