      Whether the salary drawn by the petitioner as a `Reader’ in the third<\/p>\n
respondent\/University immediately prior to his voluntary retirement,<\/p>\n
pursuant to setting aside of all such appointments in the said University by<\/p>\n
this Court, followed by relieving him to the parent department, could be<\/p>\n
reckoned for the purpose of fixing the pensionery benefits, is the issue<\/p>\n
involved herein.\n<\/p>\n
      2.     The petitioner was originally appointed as `UPSA’ on selection<\/p>\n
by the PSC on 01.10.1974 and subsequently, he was promoted as `HSA’<\/p>\n
with effect from 15.07.1977. While working as HSA, the petitioner was<\/p>\n
provisionally promoted as `HSS Teacher’ with effect from 17.12.1992.<\/p>\n
While so, he applied for the post of `Reader’ in the Sree Sankaracharya<\/p>\n
University of Sanskrit, Kalady. On selection as Reader, the petitioner was<\/p>\n
relieved from the post of `HSS Teacher’, to join the new post. Accordingly,<\/p>\n
the Director of Higher Secondary Education relieved the petitioner and after<\/p>\n
the placement given to him as HSA at GHS West, Kollam ordered by the<\/p>\n
second respondent, the petitioner was relieved from the said post, to take<\/p>\n
WPC NO.15743\/2004                       2<\/span><\/p>\n
up the appointment in the third respondent\/University with effect from<\/p>\n
21.10.1994.\n<\/p>\n
       3.   While so, the appointments effected by the University turned to<\/p>\n
be a subject matter of challenge before this Court and after considering the<\/p>\n
rival contentions raised by the parties concerned, this Court set aside all<\/p>\n
the concerned appointments made by the University; pursuant to which the<\/p>\n
petitioner was also terminated from the service w.e.f. 09.06.1997. But<\/p>\n
since the petitioner was retaining his lien in the parent department, the<\/p>\n
University relieved the petitioner on 09.06.1997, with a direction to report<\/p>\n
before the second respondent. The petitioner reported for duty before the<\/p>\n
2nd respondent on 10.06.1997 and applied for `voluntary retirement’ with<\/p>\n
effect from 09.06.1997.     The application submitted in this regard was<\/p>\n
allowed by the 2nd respondent, as per Ext.P6, permitting the petitioner to<\/p>\n
have retired voluntarily with effect from 09.06.1997.<\/p>\n
       4.   The      Accountant       General,   Thiruvananthapuram      (4th<\/p>\n
respondent) admitted the pension, reckoning the qualifying service of the<\/p>\n
petitioner only as `20′ years. Taking note of the claim for reckoning the<\/p>\n
qualifying service as `25′ years (reckoning the provisional service as well<\/p>\n
as the University service), OP 3510\/1999 filed by the petitioner before this<\/p>\n
Court was disposed of, as per Ext.P18 judgment, directing the matter to be<\/p>\n
WPC NO.15743\/2004                       3<\/span><\/p>\n
considered. But in the meanwhile, i.e. during the pendency of the Original<\/p>\n
Petition, a revised pension proposal was sent to the 4th respondent\/<\/p>\n
Accountant General, reckoning the qualifying service of the petitioner as<\/p>\n
`25′ years, i.e., 20+5 years giving weightage as per 56(1) of Part III KSR<\/p>\n
and accordingly, the Accountant General, Thiruvananthapuram, vide order<\/p>\n
dated 31.10.2001, had revised the pension. Pursuant to Ext.P18 judgment,<\/p>\n
the matter was considered by the 1st respondent\/Government in<\/p>\n
consultation with the Finance Department and found that the service of the<\/p>\n
petitioner from 21.10.1994 to 09.06.1997 could be counted for pensionery<\/p>\n
benefits, since this period was treated as ‘deputation’ by the Government<\/p>\n
as stipulated in Ext.P13 Government Order. However, it was made clear,<\/p>\n
vide Ext.P19, that the request to adopt the last salary drawn by the<\/p>\n
petitioner as a ‘Reader’ for the purpose of pensionery benefit was not<\/p>\n
admissible, because the pay drawn in foreign service by an officer deputed<\/p>\n
under foreign service conditions in Chapter XI Part I KSR shall not be<\/p>\n
treated as emoluments for pension, which in turn has been subjected to<\/p>\n
challenge in this Writ Petition, praying for some incidental reliefs as well.<\/p>\n
       5.    Though the petitioner has approached this Court seeking for<\/p>\n
various reliefs in this Writ Petition, the learned Counsel for the petitioner<\/p>\n
submits that almost all the grievances have been got redressed and the<\/p>\n
only remaining issue is with regard to the claim for granting revised<\/p>\n
WPC NO.15743\/2004                       4<\/span><\/p>\n
pension, reckoning the salary drawn by the petitioner as `Reader’ in the<\/p>\n
third respondent\/University immediately prior to the voluntary retirement<\/p>\n
sanctioned with effect from 09.06.1997.          The learned counsel places<\/p>\n
reliance on Ext.P13 Government Order to contend that the service of the<\/p>\n
petitioner as `Reader’ in the University was liable to be treated as<\/p>\n
`deputation’ for all purposes and as such, the last drawn wages in the post<\/p>\n
of `Reader’ in the University were liable to be reckoned for fixing the<\/p>\n
pensionary benefits, in view of the stipulations in the `Ruling No.1′ under<\/p>\n
Rule 62 and also in view of the contents of Rule 63 of Part III KSR.<\/p>\n
        6.    It is pointed out from the part of the University that there is no<\/p>\n
liability to pay any `pro rata contribution’ for pension, particularly in view of<\/p>\n
the fact that the very appointment in the University was set aside by this<\/p>\n
Court.     Referring to the very same position, the learned Government<\/p>\n
Pleader contends that there was no valid appointment as `Reader’ in the<\/p>\n
University and as such, the said service stated as rendered in the<\/p>\n
University could not be of any consequence. Pursuant to the directions<\/p>\n
given by this Court in OP No. 3510\/1999 as stated above, the eligibility of<\/p>\n
the petitioner was considered by the Government and the request was<\/p>\n
turned down vide Ext.P19. The learned Government Pleader appearing on<\/p>\n
behalf of the State and the learned Standing Counsel appearing for the<\/p>\n
WPC NO.15743\/2004                       5<\/span><\/p>\n
third respondent\/University submit that the idea and understanding of the<\/p>\n
petitioner as to the scope of Ext.P13 Government Order and also as to the<\/p>\n
rule position is rather wrong and mis conceived.\n<\/p>\n
       7.    It is brought to light that the service rendered by the petitioner<\/p>\n
as `Reader’ in the third respondent\/University for the period from October,<\/p>\n
1994 till 09.06.1997 has very much been reckoned as `deputation’ in view<\/p>\n
of the clear mandate in Ext.P13 Government Order. The only grievance of<\/p>\n
the petitioner is that, the quantum of pension and pensionary benefits have<\/p>\n
been fixed by the respondents without any regard to the total emoluments<\/p>\n
drawn in the University prior to the voluntary retirement from the service<\/p>\n
and that is all.\n<\/p>\n
       8.    Obviously, the entire facts and circumstances have been<\/p>\n
subjected to meticulous analysis by the first respondent who passed<\/p>\n
Ext.P19 order. The claim of the petitioner, as projected during the course<\/p>\n
of hearing, was to consider his appointment as a temporary one i.e., under<\/p>\n
Rule 9 of the KS & SSR and to fix his pension, taking average of the 10<\/p>\n
months’ pay drawn by him in the third respondent\/University in the scale of<\/p>\n
Rs.3700-5700 in the post of Reader, if necessary, by relaxing the rules in<\/p>\n
the KSR. Admittedly, the employment as `Reader’ in the University was<\/p>\n
pursuant to a `fresh selection’, which was in no way connected with the<\/p>\n
WPC NO.15743\/2004                      6<\/span><\/p>\n
service under the State\/Department.             However, in view of the<\/p>\n
consequences resulted because of the judgment rendered by this Court<\/p>\n
setting aside all such appointments effected by the University, the requests<\/p>\n
made by the affected persons in this regard were considered by the<\/p>\n
Government and it was ordered as per Ext.P13 Government Order, that the<\/p>\n
period of service rendered by such persons in the third respondent\/<\/p>\n
University will be treated as `deputation’ for the purpose of regularization of<\/p>\n
such period in the department. The case of the petitioner is that since the<\/p>\n
said service has been ordered to be treated as `deputation’, it shall be<\/p>\n
reckoned for the purpose of computation of pensionery benefits as well,<\/p>\n
contending that the term ’emoluments’ as it appears under the relevant<\/p>\n
rules is inclusive of the `special pay’ drawn by the petitioner in the post of<\/p>\n
`Reader’ in view of Ruling No. 1 under Rule 62, read with Rule 63 of Part<\/p>\n
III KSR.\n<\/p>\n
      9.     In fact, Ext.P13 Government Order was issued by the<\/p>\n
Government pursuant to the requests given by the aggrieved persons to<\/p>\n
have the period of service in the University considered for regularizing the<\/p>\n
absence in the service of the State\/Department, as a special case. The<\/p>\n
said Government Order does never say that the pay drawn by such<\/p>\n
persons in the respective posts in the University will be treated as<\/p>\n
WPC NO.15743\/2004                    7<\/span><\/p>\n
protected. Similarly, the terminology used under `Ruling No. 1′ of Rule 62<\/p>\n
of Part III KSR refers to the special pay admissible to persons on<\/p>\n
deputation from the State service to other State Governments or to the<\/p>\n
Central Government or from one Government Department to another, to be<\/p>\n
reckoned as emoluments for the purpose of pension and that the pay<\/p>\n
drawn in “Foreign service” by an officer deputed under foreign service<\/p>\n
conditions in Chapter XI Part I KSR is not liable to be treated as<\/p>\n
emoluments for the purpose of pension. In the latter case, the pay of the<\/p>\n
persons which they would have drawn, had they continued in the parent<\/p>\n
department, alone will be treated as emoluments, as made clear by the<\/p>\n
Apex Court in the decision rendered in Balkrishna Pandey Vs. State of<\/p>\n
Bihar and others [1996 (2) SCC 282]. This being the position, since the<\/p>\n
petitioner was working as an `HSS Teacher’ (Sanskrit) at the time of joining<\/p>\n
the service of the University, the emoluments attached to the service in<\/p>\n
respect of the concerned post in the parent department alone can be<\/p>\n
reckoned for the fixation of pension and pensionery benefits. No Rule or<\/p>\n
decision to the contrary has been cited from the part of the petitioner to<\/p>\n
sustain the contention that he is entitled to have the salary in an ‘alien<\/p>\n
service’ protected and counted, for fixing the pension and pensionary<\/p>\n
benefits.\n<\/p>\n
WPC NO.15743\/2004                    8<\/span><\/p>\n
       In the above facts and circumstances, there is absolutely no merit in<\/p>\n
the contentions raised from the part of the petitioner. The Writ Petition fails<\/p>\n
and it is dismissed accordingly.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
