This Letters Patent Appeal is  directed  against  the<br \/>\n      order  of  Single Judge dated February 25, 2003 passed in<br \/>\n      Special    Civil    Application    No.10950    of    2002\n<\/p>\n<p>      &#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;<br \/>\n      Whether  reporters  of Local Papers may be allowed to see<br \/>\n      the judgment?\n<\/p>\n<p>      whereby, the claim of the appellant Ms.Jaya  Ghanshyamdas<br \/>\n      Chellani  for her appointment in Kandla Port Trust [&#8220;KPT&#8221;<br \/>\n      for short ] has been rejected.\n<\/p>\n<p> 2.   The  KPT  issued public advertisement [ Annexure-A ]<br \/>\n      dated 3.8.2001 inviting  applications  for  the  post  of<br \/>\n      Secondary Teacher  [Science]  with  Gujarati Medium.  The<br \/>\n      appellant applied for this post.    She  was  called  for<br \/>\n      interview  [Annexure-B]  on  1.2.2002  and appointed vide<br \/>\n      order dated 15.2.2002 [ Annexure-C ].  She has been asked<br \/>\n      to join by 1.3.2002 at  10.00  a.m..    Accordingly,  the<br \/>\n      appellant   resigned   from  the  post  of  Teacher  from<br \/>\n      Excelsion Model School, Adipur, vide  resignation  letter<br \/>\n      dated 19.2.2002  [Annexure-D].  She has clearly mentioned<br \/>\n      in the said letter  of  resignation  that  she  has  been<br \/>\n      appointed  in Kandla Port Trust, therefore, she is unable<br \/>\n      to work as  Assistant  Teacher  in  the  institution  and<br \/>\n      therefore,  her request for resignation and permission to<br \/>\n      join in KPT be granted.\n<\/p>\n<p> 3.  The appellant went to join with the KPT on 19.2.2002.\n<\/p>\n<p>      She could not  join  since  she  was  asked  to  come  on<br \/>\n      25.2.2002.   On  that  date  also, she was not allowed to<br \/>\n      join and asked to come on 1.3.2002  [  Annexure-E].    On<br \/>\n      1.3.2002  she  submitted  joining  report  at 10.00 a.m..<br \/>\n      However, her letter \/  correspondence  to  KPT  indicates<br \/>\n      that she  was not allowed to work.  The appellant submits<br \/>\n      that she is qualified.  She has been selected.   She  has<br \/>\n      been appointed.     She  has  submitted  joining  report.<br \/>\n      Therefore, the action of the  respondents  is  thoroughly<br \/>\n      unreasonable,  arbitrary  and so KPT be directed to allow<br \/>\n      to resume the duty.  After serving a legal  notice  dated<br \/>\n      13.9.2002,  Special Civil Application No.10950 \/ 2002 has<br \/>\n      been filed.  From  various  documents  available  on  the<br \/>\n      file,  it  transpires  that KPT sought clarification from<br \/>\n      the office of the District Education Officer [ &#8220;DEO&#8221;  for<br \/>\n      short ]  whether  the  appellant  was  qualified.    This<br \/>\n      impression  can  be  gathered  from  communication  dated<br \/>\n      1.10.2002 from  the  Secretary, KPT to DEO.  Substance of<br \/>\n      the reply by DEO is that the  KPT  school  is  non  aided<br \/>\n      Government  recognised  school, therefore, independent to<br \/>\n      deal with the matter.  This stand is  clearly  stated  in<br \/>\n      the reply  filed  by  the  State  Government.    With the<br \/>\n      aforesaid background, we  turn  to  examine  the  matter.<br \/>\n      First question for consideration is, whether appellant is<br \/>\n      qualified.    Perusal  of  advertisement  dated  3.8.2001<br \/>\n      [Annexure-A] clearly stipulates that a  candidate  should<br \/>\n      be [a] fully trained graduate of a recognised University;<br \/>\n      [b]  candidate  should  be  B.Sc.,B.Ed  with  science and<br \/>\n      mathematics [Gujarati Medium], [c] candidate should  have<br \/>\n      atleast  five  years  teaching  experience  in Government<br \/>\n      recognised school.    The  appellant  is  fully   trained<br \/>\n      graduate of  recognised  university.  She is B.Sc., B.Ed.<br \/>\n      with science and mathematics [Gujarati Medium].  She  has<br \/>\n      five  years  teaching experience in Government recognised<br \/>\n      school since the school in which the appellant taught, is<br \/>\n      a Government recognised school.  The contention that  the<br \/>\n      appellant  should  have  teaching  experience  with B.Ed.<br \/>\n      degree for five years  and  she  should  have  taught  in<br \/>\n      higher  secondary  school,  cannot be accepted since this<br \/>\n      cannot spelt out of the requirement of qualification  and<br \/>\n      experience stipulated   in   the   advertisement.     The<br \/>\n      requirement has three parameters mentioned  as  explained<br \/>\n      hereinabove.   Therefore, we have no hesitation in coming<br \/>\n      to  the   conclusion   that   appellant   is   qualified.<br \/>\n      Therefore,  she  should  have  been allowed to resume the<br \/>\n      work.  There is another facet of the  question,  KPT  was<br \/>\n      sure  about  her  qualification at the time of selection,<br \/>\n      therefore,  she  was  selected  by  the  Committee  which<br \/>\n      included DEO from the State Government.  Therefore, there<br \/>\n      was  no  reason  for seeking clarification from the DEO \/<br \/>\n      State Government whether appellant was qualified  as  per<br \/>\n      the qualification.    The selection committee KPT has not<br \/>\n      committed any fault with regard to its decision selecting<br \/>\n      appellant.  A perusal of candidates&#8217; chart  prepared,  on<br \/>\n      which  the  candidates were interviewed, also plainly and<br \/>\n      clearly shows that  appellant  is  meritorious  candidate<br \/>\n      possessing  extra qualifications of NCC, Guide and Scout,<br \/>\n      drawing  and  Computer   knowledge,   which,   no   other<br \/>\n      candidate,   atleast   to  that  extent,  possessed  such<br \/>\n      qualification.  Therefore,  there  should  not  have  any<br \/>\n      doubt  with  respect  to  her  merits  and  the selection<br \/>\n      committee  had  also  no   doubt   as   to   merits   and<br \/>\n      qualification of the appellant.  Therefore, the appellant<br \/>\n      ought to  have  been  permitted to resume the work.  With<br \/>\n      regard to experience, it is contended that appellant  may<br \/>\n      lack experience  of  five  years.   But candidates&#8217; chart<br \/>\n      clearly mentions that she  has  teaching  experience  for<br \/>\n      five years and two months and it is not necessary that it<br \/>\n      should be  with B.Ed.  throughout and in secondary school<br \/>\n      for 5 years.  It can be  from  any  school  and  duration<br \/>\n      being 5  years.    Therefore, much cannot be said on this<br \/>\n      point by KPT.\n<\/p>\n<p> 4.  It was submitted that appellant did not  produce  her<br \/>\n      relieving  order  from  the previous employer, therefore,<br \/>\n      she could not resume the duty.  Of course, this is not an<br \/>\n      essential requirement for joining the duty.  This is  not<br \/>\n      mandatory requirement before joining the duty, nor it was<br \/>\n      at any stage insisted.  When submission was raised by the<br \/>\n      learned  counsel  for  the KPT, with a view to understand<br \/>\n      whether there could be some difficulty  on  this  aspect,<br \/>\n      learned  counsel  for  the  appellant  was  asked to file<br \/>\n      relieving certificate from the  previous  institution  in<br \/>\n      which the appellant  was serving.  It is filed.  The same<br \/>\n      is dated 18.7.2003, which stipulates that resignation  of<br \/>\n      the  appellant dated 19.2.2002 from the post of Assistant<br \/>\n      Teacher in the primary section was accepted and  she  was<br \/>\n      already relieved from service with effect from 19.2.2002.\n<\/p>\n<p> 5.  Accordingly, we find that the appellant is qualified,<br \/>\n      she is rightly selected and appointed but not allowed  to<br \/>\n      resume work though she had submitted joining report.  The<br \/>\n      KPT  has treated the appellant unjustly and unreasonably.<br \/>\n      The post is vacant.  Learned counsel  for  the  appellant<br \/>\n      prays that KPT be directed to pay salary for two years to<br \/>\n      the appellant.    However,  counsel  for  the respondents<br \/>\n      opposes the prayer on the ground that KPT is public  body<br \/>\n      and  ultimately  the  burden  fall  on  public exchequer.<br \/>\n      Considering that  she  has  been  unjustly  treated,  not<br \/>\n      allowed  to  work, deprived of the post, salary and other<br \/>\n      benefits attached to it,  KPT  is  directed  to  pay  the<br \/>\n      appellant,  salary  and other allowance from 19.2.2002 to<br \/>\n      5.2.2004.\n<\/p>\n<p>   The appeal is, therefore, allowed.   Judgment  of<br \/>\n      Single Judge  is set aside.  The KPT is directed to allow<br \/>\n      the appellant to join\/ resume work and pay her  the  cost<br \/>\n      of Rs.1,000\/= within a week.\n<\/p>\n<p>        Prayer  of  respondent  for  stay  of  order   is<br \/>\n      rejected.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gujarat High Court Jaya Ghanshyamdas Chellani vs Kandla Port Trust on 5 February, 2004 Author: B Singh Bench: B Singh, H Rathod JUDGMENT Bhawani Singh, J. 1.
