Ext.P1 dated 4.11.1986 is  the appointment order<\/p>\n<p>by which  the petitioner  was provisionally  appointed  as  a Junior<\/p>\n<p>Health Inspector in the Health service Department.   Ext.P2 will<\/p>\n<p>show that the petitioner&#8217;s period of provisional appointment was<\/p>\n<p>being   extended   from   time   to   time   and   that   the   petitioner   was<\/p>\n<p>continued till regular PSC hands   joined for duty.   Ext.P3 dated<\/p>\n<p>12.3.1991 is the appointment order by which the petitioner was<\/p>\n<p>given regular appointment on the basis of advice by the PSC. The<\/p>\n<p>petitioner   claims   that   he   is   entitled   for   reckoning   the   entire<\/p>\n<p>provisional   service   which   he   has   rendered   prior   to   his   regular<\/p>\n<p>appointment          under   Ext.P3   for   grade   Promotions   and<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">O.P.No.20963\/1999                       2<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Increments.   He refers to G.O.(P) No.459\/86\/Fin. Dated 1.7.1986<\/p>\n<p>whereby   it is ordered that provisional service on regularisation<\/p>\n<p>or  followed  by   regular  appointment with  or     without   break  in<\/p>\n<p>the  same category will be treated as   officiating service ab initio<\/p>\n<p>for the limited purpose of granting of increments.  He points out<\/p>\n<p>that       in     G.O.(P)     No.379\/76\/Fin.   dated   14.12.1976   the<\/p>\n<p>Government has imposed three conditions.    The  3rd  condition is<\/p>\n<p>as follows:\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>      &#8220;iii)  The post should fall in the same service&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>He submits that on the basis of the representation submitted by<\/p>\n<p>several  Government  Organization, the   Government  was pleased<\/p>\n<p>to issue  G.O.(P) No.459\/86\/Fin. Dated 1.7.86 thereby delete the<\/p>\n<p>above   reported   condition   No.3.     Since   the   Condition   No.   3   is<\/p>\n<p>deleted   the   only   conditions   which   should   be   followed   are<\/p>\n<p>condition Nos. 1 and 2 which are as follows;\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>      i).

The   petitioner   refers   to   GO.(P)   No.   1041\/79<\/p>\n<p>(142)   Fin.   dated   27.11.1979   and   G.O.(P)   No.517\/88   (234)   Fin.<\/p>\n<p>Dated 8.8.1988     of the Finance Department which  were to the<\/p>\n<p>effect   that   provisional   service     will   be   reckoned       as  qualifying<\/p>\n<p>service   for   the   purpose   of   Grade   Promotion.     He   further   refers<\/p>\n<p>to   G.O.   (P)   No.540\/94\/Fin.   dated   30.9.1994         by   which   the<\/p>\n<p>Government  has  deleted     its   decision     in     Rule   33   of   KSR   with<\/p>\n<p>effect   from   1.10.1994.     The   prominent   ground   raised   by   the<\/p>\n<p>petitioner   is   that   since   the   entirety   of   the   provisional   service<\/p>\n<p>rendered by him was prior to 1.10.1994 he is entitled to have the<\/p>\n<p>entire duration of  his  provisional service reckoned with for the<\/p>\n<p>purpose of Higher  Grade and increments.   Raising his claim he<\/p>\n<p>submitted       representation   seeking   counting   of   his   provisional<\/p>\n<p>service   also   for     promotion.       The   Office   of   the   Local   Fund<\/p>\n<p>District   Examiner,   Wyanad   considered   that   representation   and<\/p>\n<p>issued   Ext.P4   letter   to   the   Secretary   of   the     Secretary   of   the<\/p>\n<p>Kalpetta   Municipality.     Ext.P4   was   forwarded   by   the   Secretary<\/p>\n<p>of   the   Kalpetta   Municipality   to   the   Director   of   Municipalities.<\/p>\n<p>But the Directorate of Municipalities, by their proceedings dated<\/p>\n<p>2.5.1997 rejected the claim of the petitioner on the reason that<\/p>\n<p>the   provisional   service   rendered   by   the   petitioner   was   in   a<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">O.P.No.20963\/1999                        4<\/span><\/p>\n<p>different   department   than   the   department   into   which   the<\/p>\n<p>petitioner   was   regularly   appointed.       Ext.P5   is   a   copy   of   the<\/p>\n<p>proceedings of the Municipality    in  that regard.   The petitioner<\/p>\n<p>contends   that   the   reason   contained   in   Ext.P5   perse,   wrong   in<\/p>\n<p>view   of   G.O.(P)   No.459\/86\/Fin.   dated   1.7.1986.     The   petitioner<\/p>\n<p>submits   that   the   issue   was   taken   up   by   the   District   Examiner,<\/p>\n<p>Wayanad     of   the   Local   Fund   District   Examiner&#8217;s   Office   who   by<\/p>\n<p>proceedings   dated   9.9.1997   again   clarified     that   provisional<\/p>\n<p>hands like the petitioner who were regularly  appointed prior  to<\/p>\n<p>1.10.1994   can   be   granted   the   benefit   of   calculating   the<\/p>\n<p>increments     reckoning   the   provisional   service   also.       Ext.P6   is<\/p>\n<p>relied   on   by   the   petitioner   in   this   regard.     Subsequently   the<\/p>\n<p>Local Fund Audit Directorate, Trivandrum would refer to G.O.(P)<\/p>\n<p>No.459\/86 and inform the Local Fund Audit Director, Wyand that<\/p>\n<p>the   decision   of   the   Municipality     to   grant   increment   to   the<\/p>\n<p>petitioner     by   reckoning   his   provisional   service   is     correct.<\/p>\n<p>Ext.P7   is   the   letter   of   the   Local   Fund   Auditor   to   the   District<\/p>\n<p>Examiner   Wayanad.     The   grievance   of   the   petitioner   is   that   in<\/p>\n<p>spite of all this, the Government did not favourably consider  his<\/p>\n<p>request for reckoning temporary service also for the purpose of<\/p>\n<p>granting increments and grade promotions.   He submits that he<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">O.P.No.20963\/1999                       5<\/span><\/p>\n<p>was not heard in the matter  by the Government at all.   He came<\/p>\n<p>across   copy of the Government letter incorporating decision of<\/p>\n<p>the   Government   taken   in   the   case   of   a   similarly   circumstanced<\/p>\n<p>employee   of   the     Municipal   service   Department.     Ext.P8   is   the<\/p>\n<p>copy   of   that   letter.       In   Ext.P8   what   is   stated   is   that   the<\/p>\n<p>Government&#8217;s decision No. 2 in Rule 33 of Part I of KSR will not<\/p>\n<p>apply   to   employees   who   get   regularized   in   the   Municipal<\/p>\n<p>common service through PSC selection.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>      2.     The   Petitioner&#8217;s   grievance   is   that   the   Government   has<\/p>\n<p>not so far taken any decision on the recommendation  in Exts.P7<\/p>\n<p>and P8 to grant higher grades and increments to the petitioner<\/p>\n<p>reckoning   his   provisional   service   in   the   Health   service<\/p>\n<p>Department.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>      3.   I   have   heard   the   submissions   of   Sri.   T.Ravikumar   the<\/p>\n<p>learned counsel for the petitioner and Sri.K.J.Mohammed Anzar<\/p>\n<p>the learned Government Pleader for the respondents.  It appears<\/p>\n<p>to   me   having     regard   to   the   Government   Orders   in   G.O.(P)<\/p>\n<p>No.459\/86\/Fin.   dated   17.1986,   G.O.(P)   No.540\/94\/Fin.   dated<\/p>\n<p>13.9.1994   and   Government   Circular   No.3\/95\/(55)   Fin.   dated<\/p>\n<p>1.3.1995   that   the   petitioner   whose   provisional   service   prior   to<\/p>\n<p>1.10.1994  was  followed by appointment in regular service with<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">O.P.No.20963\/1999                      6<\/span><\/p>\n<p>effect from 23.3.1991   has got a fairly strong case to have such<\/p>\n<p>provisional   service   reckoned   with   for   the   purpose   of   grade<\/p>\n<p>promotions   and   increments.     I     did   not   propose   to   decide   the<\/p>\n<p>issue   finally.     The   petitioner   is   permitted   to   submit   a   proper<\/p>\n<p>representation   before   the   Government   voicing   his   grievance<\/p>\n<p>incorporating a copy of this judgment and copies of the various<\/p>\n<p>G.O.(P)s relied on by the petitioner.   If the respondents receives<\/p>\n<p>such   a   representation   within   one   month     of   the   petitioner<\/p>\n<p>receiving a copy of this judgment  the Government will hear the<\/p>\n<p>petitioner   and   pass   just   and   appropriate     order   on   that<\/p>\n<p>representation   in   the   light   of   the     observations     herein   above<\/p>\n<p>within three months of the Government receiving  the same.<\/p>\n<p>       The Original Petition is disposed of as above.<\/p>\n<p>                                            PIUS C.KURIAKOSE<\/p>\n<p>                                                         Judge<\/p>\n<p>dpk<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">O.P.No.20963\/1999    7<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                          PIUS C.KURIAKOSE, J<\/p>\n<p>                          &#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;\n<\/p>\n<p>                          O.P.
