The above<\/p>\n<p>temporary service was approved by the educational authorities. One M.C.<\/p>\n<p>Chacko, a part-time menial of the school, took leave preparatory to his<\/p>\n<p>retirement. In the year 1973,        petitioner applied to get appointment to that<\/p>\n<p>post. On a wrong interpretation of rule 51A, Chapter XIV-A, Kerala Education<\/p>\n<p>Rules, the Manager refused to give him that post and appointed a fresh hand.<\/p>\n<p>Even though educational authorities upheld his right, he was not given<\/p>\n<p>appointment till 16.7.1993. Later, he got appointment as a full-time menial<\/p>\n<p>and he continued in service. He retired on 30.9.2002. He filed various<\/p>\n<p>representations. Finally, by Ext.P1, his representation was partly allowed<\/p>\n<p>and he was declared to be entitled for being treated as deemed to be in<\/p>\n<p>service as part-time\/full-time menial in the educational agency from 1974<\/p>\n<p>onwards for the limited purpose of treating his service for pension as<\/p>\n<p>qualifying service for pension. The relevant portion is quoted as follows:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>                     &#8220;&#8230;.. In the circumstances, Government consider<br \/>\n              that the petitioner should have been appointed in the<br \/>\n              first available vacancy itself. Here, in this case, the<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">W.A.No. 34\/2006                          2<\/span><\/p>\n<p>               first available vacancy had arisen in 1973 against<br \/>\n               which appointment was made by the management in<br \/>\n               1974.     In the circumstances, the request of the<br \/>\n               petitioner is contained in Ext.P1 representation dated<br \/>\n               22.10.1998 is allowed and he is declared to be entitled<br \/>\n               for being treated as deemed to be in service as part-<br \/>\n               time\/full-time menial in the educational agency from<br \/>\n               1974 onwards for the limited purpose of treating the<br \/>\n               above service as qualifying service for pension.&#8221;\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>His service for the period from 1974 onwards was allowed as qualifying<\/p>\n<p>service for pension and not for any other purpose. It is true that there was no<\/p>\n<p>order to appoint him only notionally from 19.11.1974 and grant him grade<\/p>\n<p>benefits or service benefits. If that be so, after 1994, when he got the<\/p>\n<p>appointment, he should have been fixed in a higher grade, but, that was not<\/p>\n<p>granted.    He accepted Ext.P1 order.       On that basis, he made further<\/p>\n<p>representations and Government by Ext.P6 order held that the appellant will<\/p>\n<p>be entitled only to pension on the ground that he was deemed to be in service<\/p>\n<p>from 1974 onwards. That will not make him eligible to higher grade in that<\/p>\n<p>post. Ext.P1 is not challenged by him. It is very clearly stated in Ext.P1 that<\/p>\n<p>the period from 1974 will be treated only for the limited purpose of treating the<\/p>\n<p>above service as qualifying service for pension. There is no order in Ext.P1<\/p>\n<p>to give him appointment from 1974 and give him benefits and fixation of<\/p>\n<p>salary if he was appointed in 1974. Consequential appointment was not<\/p>\n<p>made. Therefore, he will be entitled to pension on the basis of last drawn<\/p>\n<p>salary actually received by him.      But, pension and retiral benefits can be<\/p>\n<p>calculated as he had service from 1974.             According to the learned<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">W.A.No. 34\/2006                          3<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Government Pleader what is granted in Ext.P1 itself is passed taking a<\/p>\n<p>lenient view. Therefore, appellant is not entitled to get any further relief.<\/p>\n<p>Ext.P1 is correctly interpreted in Ext.P6. Appeal is dismissed.<\/p>\n<p>                                                        J.B.Koshy<br \/>\n                                                          Judge<\/p>\n<p>                                                   Thomas P.
