Rijesh.V. vs State Of Kerala on 14 August, 2009<\/div>\n
       \n\n  \n\n  \n\n \n \n  IN THE HIGH COURT OF KERALA AT ERNAKULAM\n\nWP(C).No. 16925 of 2009(I)\n\n\n1. RIJESH.V., S\/O.C.P.NARAYANAN,\n                      ...  Petitioner\n\n                        Vs\n\n\n\n1. STATE OF KERALA, REPRESENTED BY\n                       ...       Respondent\n\n2. DIRECTOR GENERAL OF POLICE,\n\n3. THE COMMANDANT, KAP IV BATTALION,\n\n4. KERALA PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION,\n\n5. THE DISTRICT OFFICER,\n\n                For Petitioner  :SRI.KALEESWARAM RAJ\n\n                For Respondent  :SRI.ALEXANDER THOMAS,SC,KPSC\n\nThe Hon'ble MR. Justice P.N.RAVINDRAN\n\n Dated :14\/08\/2009\n\n O R D E R\n                           P.N.RAVINDRAN, J.\n                   -----------------------------\n                      W.P(C) No.16925 of 2009-I\n                  ------------------------------\n               Dated this the 14th day of August, 2009.\n\n\n      Heard Sri.Kaleeswaram Raj, the learned counsel appearing for the\n\npetitioner,  Sri.Antony   Mukkath,   the   learned   Government      Pleader\n\nappearing for respondents 1 to 3 and Sri.Alexander Thomas, the learned\n\nstanding counsel appearing for the Kerala Public Service Commission.\n\n      2.    The petitioner was an applicant for appointment to the post\n\nof Police Constable in the Armed Police Battalion in Kasargod District.\n\nWhen the petitioner appeared for the physical efficiency test held on\n\n5.5.2009, his height was recorded as 166.5 cms. He was accordingly\n\ndisqualified. He appealed against the decision and on re-measurement\n\nhis height was recorded as 166.8 cms.         Since he did not have the\n\nminimum prescribed height, the decision disqualifying him was upheld.\n\nThis writ petition was thereupon filed challenging his disqualification. The\n\npetitioner contends relying on Ext.P4 and P5 certificates that his height is\n\n167 cms.\n\n      3.    When this writ petition came up for admission on 1.7.2009,\n\nin view of the difference in the height originally recorded and on appeal\n\nthis Court directed the Kerala Public Service Commission to have the\n\nheight of the petitioner remeasured with the assistance of the District\n\nMedical Officer, Kasargod. As directed by this Court, the District Medical\n\nOfficer, Kasargod remeasured the height of the petitioner and has\n\nW.P(C) No.16925 of 2009-I             2\n\ncertified (Ext.R4(b) that the petitioner's height is 166.7. cms.       The\n\npetitioner does not question the correctness on the said measurement.\n\nHe however relies on Exts.P4 and P5 produced along with the writ petition\n\nto contend that he has the minimum prescribed height.          Apart from\n\nExts.P4 and P5 which are certificates issued by the Assistant Surgeon,\n\nGeneral Hospital, Thalassery and an Assistant Professor of the\n\nDepartment of Medicine, Kannur Medical College, the petitioner has not\n\nproduced any material to show that his height was not correctly measured\n\nin the physical test held by the Kerala Public Service Commission. In the\n\ntwo measurements conducted by the Kerala Public Service Commission\n\nand the third measurement conducted at the intervention of this Court,\n\nthe petitioner's height was found to be below 167 cms. In the absence of\n\nany cogent material to show that the measurement conducted by the\n\nDistrict Medical Officer is incorrect, no reliance can be placed on Exts.P4\n\nand P5. In such circumstances, I find no reason to interfere with the\n\ndecision taken by the Kerala Public Service Commission to disqualify the\n\npetitioner.\n\n       I accordingly hold hat there is no merit in this writ petition. The\n\nwrit petition fails and is dismissed.\n\n                                            Sd\/-\n                                      P.N.RAVINDRAN\n                                          Judge\nab\n\n\n?

                        W.P(C) No.14911 of 2008-A\n<\/p>\n
                     ——————————\n<\/p>\n
                Dated this the 3rd day of August, 2009.\n<\/p>\n
                               J U D G M E N T<\/p>\n
              Heard Sri.Kaleeswaram Raj, the learned counsel appearing for<\/p>\n
the petitioner, Sri.Alexander Thomas, the learned standing counsel<\/p>\n
appearing      for    the   Kerala   Public  Service   Commission        and<\/p>\n
Sri.C.Unnikrishnan, the learned standing counsel appearing for the Kerala<\/p>\n
Water Authority.\n<\/p>\n
       2.     The petitioners who were working as Peon and Hospital<\/p>\n
Attendant Gr.II respectively in different departments, applied for<\/p>\n
appointment by direct recruitment and also by transfer to the post of<\/p>\n
Lower Division Typist in various departments in Kasargod district. The<\/p>\n
notification inviting applications was published in the Kerala Gazette<\/p>\n
dated 31.12.2005. By the same notification, applications were invited for<\/p>\n
appointment by direct recruitment in the Kerala Water Authority. The<\/p>\n
petitioners applied both for appointment by direct recruitment and by<\/p>\n
transfer. They were selected and included in list I of Ext.P1 ranked list<\/p>\n
containing the names of candidates selected for appointment by direct<\/p>\n
recruitment.     They were also included list II of Ext.P1 ranked list<\/p>\n
containing the names of candidates selected for appointment by transfer.<\/p>\n
In list I, the petitioners are rank Nos.17 and 19 and in list II, rank, Nos.3<\/p>\n
W.P(C) No.14911 of 2008-A            2<\/span><\/p>\n
and 4 respectively.    The petitioners did not relinquish their right for<\/p>\n
advice based on the inclusion of their names in list I of Ext.P1 ranked list.<\/p>\n
As a result thereof, when the turn of the petitioners arose, they were<\/p>\n
advised for appointment by direct recruitment in the Kerala Water<\/p>\n
Authority by Exts.P2 and P3 advice memos dated 7.4.2008. The said<\/p>\n
action was legal and proper for the reason that even in the notification<\/p>\n
inviting applications by direct recruitment, it had been stated that<\/p>\n
vacancies reported by the Kerala Water Authority will also be filled up<\/p>\n
from the same ranked list. This writ petition thereupon filed contending<\/p>\n
that as the names of the petitioners have been included in list II of Ext.P1<\/p>\n
ranked list they are entitled to be appointed by transfer in departments<\/p>\n
other than the Kerala Water Authority and that if they are appointed in<\/p>\n
Kerala Water Authority they will loose their chances of appointment in<\/p>\n
other departments. In this writ petition, the petitioners pray for a writ in<\/p>\n
the nature of mandamus commanding the respondents to advice them to<\/p>\n
the post of L.D Typist in Government departments.<\/p>\n
      3.    The Kerala Public Service Commission has filed a counter<\/p>\n
affidavit wherein, relying on Rule 18(iii) of the Kerala Public Service<\/p>\n
Commission Rules of Procedure, the Commission has contended that with<\/p>\n
the advice of the petitioners based on the inclusion of their names in list I<\/p>\n
of Ext.P1 ranked list, their names stand automatically deleted from list I<\/p>\n
W.P(C) No.14911 of 2008-A              3<\/span><\/p>\n
and list II of Ext.P1 ranked list. The Commission has contended that even<\/p>\n
in the notification inviting applications it had been stated that<\/p>\n
appointment by direct recruitment will be made from the same ranked<\/p>\n
list to vacancies reported by the Kerala Water Authority also and that the<\/p>\n
petitioners who had applied for appointment by direct recruitment cannot<\/p>\n
contend that they cannot be advised for appointment in the Kerala Water<\/p>\n
Authority.\n<\/p>\n
       4.     I have considered the submissions made at the Bar by the<\/p>\n
learned counsel appearing on either side. Ext.P4 notification, which led<\/p>\n
to Ext.P1 ranked list states in categorical terms that vacancies reported<\/p>\n
by the Kerala Water Authority will also be filled up from the same ranked<\/p>\n
list. The petitioners applied for direct recruitment fully aware of this<\/p>\n
stipulation. They were selected and included in list I of Ext.P2 ranked list.<\/p>\n
Rule 18(iii) of the Kerala Public Service Commission Rules of Procedure<\/p>\n
states that a candidate whose name has been included in more than one<\/p>\n
ranked list for the same post in the same department\/various<\/p>\n
departments finalized on the basis of the very same notification under<\/p>\n
different methods of recruitment, is advised from any one of the<\/p>\n
aforesaid ranked lists, his name shall be removed from the other ranked<\/p>\n
list\/lists. In the light of the said rule, the validity of which is not under<\/p>\n
challenge in this writ petition, with the advice of the petitioners for<\/p>\n
W.P(C) No.14911 of 2008-A              4<\/span><\/p>\n
appointment by direct recruitment in the Kerala Water Authority as per<\/p>\n
Exts.P2 and P3 memos, their names stood deleted from Ext.P1 ranked<\/p>\n
list.  Therefore, it cannot be said that the Kerala Public Service<\/p>\n
Commission acted illegally in advising the petitioners for appointment in<\/p>\n
the Kerala Water Authority when their turn for advice arose. In the light<\/p>\n
of Rule 18(iii) of the Kerala Public Service Commission Rules of Procedure,<\/p>\n
the contention raised by the petitioners cannot be sustained.<\/p>\n
       I accordingly hold that there is no merit in this writ petition. The<\/p>\n
writ petition fails and is dismissed. No costs.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
