No.16966 of 2008\n                ---------------------------------\n        Dated, this the 30th day of October, 2008\n\n                       J U D G M E N T\n<\/pre>\n<p>     The petitioner retired from service as Headmistress of<\/p>\n<p>Edamuttom      U.P.School,    Valappad     with  effect    from<\/p>\n<p>30\/06\/2005.     The petitioner was the senior most Primary<\/p>\n<p>School Assistant. On 01\/04\/2005, a vacancy of Headmaster<\/p>\n<p>arose in the school and the petitioner was promoted as<\/p>\n<p>Headmistress as per Ext.P1 order. Approval was sought and<\/p>\n<p>that was rejected by the 3rd respondent as per Ext.P2 order<\/p>\n<p>on the ground that the petitioner had permanently<\/p>\n<p>relinquished the post of Headmistress with effect from<\/p>\n<p>31\/03\/1986. Appeals filed against the said order were also<\/p>\n<p>rejected by Ext.P4 order of the 2nd respondent, and Ext.P9<\/p>\n<p>order passed by the Government.\n<\/p>\n<p>     2.    In the aforesaid circumstances, this writ petition is<\/p>\n<p>filed challenging Exts.P2, P4 &amp; P9 orders and a direction is<\/p>\n<p>sought to the respondents to approve the appointment of the<\/p>\n<p>WP(C) No.16966\/2008<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                -2-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>petitioner as Headmistress with all consequential benefits<\/p>\n<p>including arrears of pay, pensionary benefits etc.<\/p>\n<p>     3.    The learned Government Pleader refers to Ext.P10<\/p>\n<p>relinquishment given by the petitioner on 31\/03\/1986.<\/p>\n<p>According       to   the   learned    Government    Pleader,<\/p>\n<p>relinquishment made by the petitioner is permanent and<\/p>\n<p>she also makes particular reference to the last sentence of<\/p>\n<p>Ext.P10, which reads as under:-\n<\/p>\n<p>     &#8220;I   also   will not put-forth any future claim for<\/p>\n<p>     Headmastership.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>Based on this, it is stated that the petitioner, having<\/p>\n<p>permanently relinquished the post of Headmistress, could<\/p>\n<p>not have been appointed to that post with effect from<\/p>\n<p>01\/04\/2005. On this basis, the learned Government Pleader<\/p>\n<p>seeks to sustain the impugned orders.\n<\/p>\n<p>     4.    I have considered the submissions made.      It is<\/p>\n<p>true that on 31\/03\/1986, the petitioner had relinquished the<\/p>\n<p>post of Headmistress and stated that she had no objection<\/p>\n<p>to the appointment of Shri.M.Ravindran as Headmaster in<\/p>\n<p>WP(C) No.16966\/2008<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                 -3-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>the vacancy which arose on 31\/03\/1986. It is also stated in<\/p>\n<p>Ext.P10 that she will not put-forth any future claim for the<\/p>\n<p>post of Headmistress.\n<\/p>\n<p>     5.    The effect of Ext.P10 is what is required to be<\/p>\n<p>considered in this writ petition. Appointment to the post of<\/p>\n<p>Headmaster in an aided school is as per Rule 44, Chapter<\/p>\n<p>49, of the K.E.R. The Note attached to the said Rule, which<\/p>\n<p>provides for relinquishment in the nature of Ext.P10, is<\/p>\n<p>extracted below for reference :-\n<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>     &#8220;Note :- Whenever the Manager intends to appoint a<\/p>\n<p>     person as Headmaster other than the senior claimant, the<\/p>\n<p>     Manager shall obtain a written consent from such senior<\/p>\n<p>     claimant renouncing his claim permanently. Such consent<\/p>\n<p>     shall have the approval of the Educational Officer<\/p>\n<p>     concerned.&#8221;\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>This Note provides that &#8220;whenever the Manager intends to<\/p>\n<p>appoint&#8221; a person as Headmaster, who is not the senior<\/p>\n<p>teacher, the manager shall obtain a written consent from<\/p>\n<p>the senior teacher renouncing his\/her claim permanently. It<\/p>\n<p>is in pursuance to the note referred to above, that Ext.P10<\/p>\n<p>WP(C) No.16966\/2008<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                   -4-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>relinquishment has been given by the petitioner. The effect<\/p>\n<p>of Ext.P10 has been considered by this Court in various<\/p>\n<p>judgments. In George Vs. State of Kerala (1998(2) KLT<\/p>\n<p>637, this Court has held as follows :-\n<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>     &#8220;Secondly, going by the Note itself, the said relinquishment<\/p>\n<p>     itself cannot be used on each and every occasion. The<\/p>\n<p>     expression &#8220;Whenever the Manager intends to appoint&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>     would show that whenever manager overlooks the claim of<\/p>\n<p>     a senior teacher to be appointed as Headmaster, manager<\/p>\n<p>     has to get a written consent from such senior claimant<\/p>\n<p>     renouncing his claim permanently. In other words, there<\/p>\n<p>     cannot be any permanent relinquishment to the post of<\/p>\n<p>     Headmaster. Apart from that, Ext.R3(a) cannot have any<\/p>\n<p>     legal validity, since no approval was obtained from the<\/p>\n<p>     educational officer concerned. Therefore, the same cannot<\/p>\n<p>     be given effect to for all years to come&#8221;.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>This judgment has been quoted with approval by a Division<\/p>\n<p>Bench judgment of this Court in Rajasree Vs. Secretary to<\/p>\n<p>Government (2000(2) KLT 248), wherein it has held that :<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>     &#8220;Scope of R.44(I) was considered by this Court in George<\/p>\n<p>     Vs. State of Kerala (1998(2) KLT 637) and this court held<\/p>\n<p>     that there cannot be any permanent relinquishment to the<\/p>\n<p>     post of Headmaster. That apart, we are of opinion that<\/p>\n<p>     relinquishment can only be of an existing right.        Mere<\/p>\n<p>     chance of promotion is not a right and if it is not a<\/p>\n<p>WP(C) No.16966\/2008<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                               -5-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>     crystallized  right, there is no  question of any<\/p>\n<p>     relinquishment.&#8221;\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Following these two judgments, a Division Bench of this<\/p>\n<p>Court, in Mariam Koshy Vs.        Jolly Varghese, (2007(4)<\/p>\n<p>KLT 803) held that whenever the Manager intends to<\/p>\n<p>appoint a person as Headmaster other than a senior<\/p>\n<p>claimant, the Manager shall obtain a written consent from<\/p>\n<p>such senior claimant renouncing his claim permanently.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, the law laid down by the aforesaid three<\/p>\n<p>judgments is to the effect that there is no permanent<\/p>\n<p>relinquishment of the post of Headmaster, but whenever the<\/p>\n<p>manager intends to make appointment to the post of<\/p>\n<p>Headmaster by a person other than the senior claimant, the<\/p>\n<p>manager has to obtain a written consent from the senior<\/p>\n<p>claimant. Similar is the view taken by another bench of this<\/p>\n<p>Court in Muhammed Ashraf Vs. State of Kerala ( 2007(3)<\/p>\n<p>KLT 667).\n<\/p>\n<p>     6.    The learned Government Pleader relied on a<\/p>\n<p>Division Bench judgment of this Court in Joseph Vs. State<\/p>\n<p>WP(C) No.16966\/2008<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                              -6-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>of Kerala (1987(2) KLT 579).       According to the learned<\/p>\n<p>Government Pleader, going by the law laid down in this<\/p>\n<p>judgment, once a permanent relinquishment is made, the<\/p>\n<p>teacher is not entitled to claim promotion to the post of<\/p>\n<p>Headmaster.\n<\/p>\n<p>     7.    However, I am not persuaded to accept the<\/p>\n<p>contention raised by the learned Government Pleader. That<\/p>\n<p>was a case where, though the teacher had relinquished his<\/p>\n<p>claim for promotion, subsequently he was promoted to the<\/p>\n<p>post of Headmaster and thereafter he claimed seniority over<\/p>\n<p>the person, who was promoted as Headmasters during the<\/p>\n<p>time when his relinquishment was in operation.        In such<\/p>\n<p>circumstances,      the Division   Bench   held    that once<\/p>\n<p>appointment       to the  post   of Headmaster     has been<\/p>\n<p>relinquished, it is not open to the teacher to claim seniority<\/p>\n<p>over the persons, who were promoted as Headmaster. In<\/p>\n<p>my view, the principle laid down by this Court in the<\/p>\n<p>judgment relied on by the learned Government Pleader<\/p>\n<p>cannot be imported to the facts of this case, where the<\/p>\n<p>WP(C) No.16966\/2008<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                               -7-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>petitioner is claiming promotion to the post of Headmaster<\/p>\n<p>and is not claiming seniority over the persons, who were<\/p>\n<p>promoted to the vacancies that arose prior to 01\/04\/2005.<\/p>\n<p>     8.    For all these reasons, I hold that Exts.P2, P4 &amp; P9<\/p>\n<p>are illegal and the petitioner is entitled to approval as<\/p>\n<p>Headmistress with effect from 01\/04\/2005. Therefore, the<\/p>\n<p>writ petition is allowed, and the respondents are directed to<\/p>\n<p>approve the appointment of the petitioner as Headmistress<\/p>\n<p>with effect from 01\/04\/2005 with all consequential benefits<\/p>\n<p>including arrears of pay and pensionary benefits and all such<\/p>\n<p>other benefits.\n<\/p>\n<p>     The writ petition is allowed as above.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>                          (ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE)<\/p>\n<p>jg<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kerala High Court K.Krishnaveni vs State Of Kerala on 30 October, 2008 IN THE HIGH COURT OF KERALA AT ERNAKULAM WP(C).No. 16966 of 2008(T) 1.
