They were appointed<\/p>\n<p>as Higher Secondary School Teachers during 1990-1991 and 1991-1992,<\/p>\n<p>through the Employment Exchange, as per Ext.P1 series posting orders. The<\/p>\n<p>details of provisional service of the petitioners as Higher Secondary School<\/p>\n<p>Teachers are shown in paragraph No.3 of the Writ Petition. Subsequently the<\/p>\n<p>petitioners were regularly appointed as High School Assistants(Geography) on<\/p>\n<p>being advised by the Kerala Public Service Commission. They joined service as<\/p>\n<p>High School Assistants. The details of their service as High School Assistants or<\/p>\n<p>P.D.Teacher are stated in paragraph No.4 of the Writ Petition.<\/p>\n<p>                     2.      Subsequently the petitioners were appointed by<\/p>\n<p>transfer as Higher Secondary School Teachers as per the Special Rules against<\/p>\n<p>25% quota fixed for by-transfer appointment. The grievance of the petitioners is<\/p>\n<p>that their provisional service on the basis of Ext.P1 series posting orders is not<\/p>\n<p>reckoned for the purpose of seniority. It is stated in the Writ Petition that against<\/p>\n<p>the seniority list the petitioners have filed objections. It is also stated in the Writ<\/p>\n<p>Petition that the persons       who are also appointed              provisionally as Higher<\/p>\n<p>WP(C) No.19563\/2008<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                                        2<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Secondary School Teachers during 1990-1991 on the basis of G.O.(Ms)<\/p>\n<p>No.138\/90\/G.Edn. Dated 27.6.1990, were regularised in service, as per Ext.P3<\/p>\n<p>Government Order dated 5.3.2001 and Ext.P4             Government Order dated<\/p>\n<p>14.3.2001. In Ext.P4 Government Order dated 14.3.2001, it is clarified by the<\/p>\n<p>Government that the eleven Higher Secondary School Teachers appointed<\/p>\n<p>through    Employment      Exchange    during   1990-1991    as   per   G.O.(Ms)<\/p>\n<p>No.138\/90\/G.Edn. Dated 27.6.1990 and continuing in service during the last<\/p>\n<p>eleven years will be regularised in service from the date of their initial<\/p>\n<p>appointment. The contention of the petitioners is that their service is also to be<\/p>\n<p>regularised and their service on posting as Higher Secondary School Teachers,<\/p>\n<p>as per Ext.P1 series posting orders is liable to be reckoned for the purpose of<\/p>\n<p>seniority. It is also stated in the Writ Petition that as per Ext.P2 order dated<\/p>\n<p>20.12.2005, in the case of one R.Sivadasan, the Director of Higher Secondary<\/p>\n<p>Education has ordered to reckon the Employment Exchange service of the said<\/p>\n<p>Sivadasan for the purpose of counting 12 years teaching experience.<\/p>\n<p>Petitioners submitted that they are also entitled to the same benefit which was<\/p>\n<p>given to Shri R.Sivadasan as per Ext.P2 order.<\/p>\n<p>                    3.      Pointing out the grievances, the petitioners have<\/p>\n<p>made Exts.P9 to P13 representations to the first respondent. They are pending<\/p>\n<p>disposal before the first respondent.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>                 4.
