Subsequently, the petitioner was appointed, on<\/p>\n<p>advice by the PSC on regular basis in the scale of pay of<\/p>\n<p>Rs.330-515\/-. She retired from service on 31.5.2005.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>3.   Claim of the petitioner relates to the counting of<\/p>\n<p>provisional service for her pensionary benefits. When<\/p>\n<p>she made a request in this regard,             same was<\/p>\n<p>recommended by the District Medical Officer as is<\/p>\n<p>evidenced by Ext.P4.     It was noted in Ext.P4 that an<\/p>\n<p>increment had been sanctioned to the petitioner with<\/p>\n<p>reference to her provisional service. Therefore, same<\/p>\n<p>may be reckoned for calculating pension. Accountant<\/p>\n<p>General raised an objection vide Ext.P5 on the premise<\/p>\n<p>that the provisional service rendered by the petitioner<\/p>\n<p>prior to regular service was in the higher scale and the<\/p>\n<p>period cannot be considered for granting increment on<\/p>\n<p>regular scale, since the provisional service was not in the<\/p>\n<p>post of identical time scale as that of regular post. It is<\/p>\n<p>further stated therein that the petitioner&#8217;s pay is seen<\/p>\n<p>fixed in the minimum of the scale of pay of Rs.330\/- and,<\/p>\n<p>W.P.(C).31658\/2006<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                               3<\/span><\/p>\n<p>therefore, her provisional service does not qualify for<\/p>\n<p>pensionery benefits. Ext.P5 has been challenged in this<\/p>\n<p>writ petition.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>4.   In the counter affidavit filed by the respondents<\/p>\n<p>the same stand has been reiterated. It is also evident<\/p>\n<p>from the portion of the counter affidavit which has been<\/p>\n<p>extracted above, that the provisional service rendered<\/p>\n<p>by the petitioner was in the scale of pay of Rs.370-600\/-\/-<\/p>\n<p>whereas on appointment to regular service, petitioner&#8217;s<\/p>\n<p>scale of pay was Rs.330-515\/-. It is further stated that as<\/p>\n<p>per the Government decision No.2 to Rule 33 of Part-I of<\/p>\n<p>K.S.R (as it stood prior to its deletion with effect from<\/p>\n<p>1.10.1994) the following aspects must be satisfied:-<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>     1.     Posts should carry the same or identical<\/p>\n<p>     scale of pay.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>     2.     The    qualification    and   method    of<\/p>\n<p>     appointment should be the same and<\/p>\n<p>     3.     The post should fall in the same service<\/p>\n<p>W.P.(C).31658\/2006<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                            4<\/span><\/p>\n<p>5.   It is contended that therefore, the post in which<\/p>\n<p>service was rendered on a provisional basis and the post<\/p>\n<p>to which the petitioner was appointed on a regular basis<\/p>\n<p>should carry the same or identical scale of pay.<\/p>\n<p>Admittedly, the scale of pay in her provisional service<\/p>\n<p>was higher in the time scale and therefore, petitioner<\/p>\n<p>was not entitled to take into account her provisional<\/p>\n<p>service for reckoning her increment or the pensionery<\/p>\n<p>benefits.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>6.   I heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the<\/p>\n<p>learned Government Pleader.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>7.   There are two cases      in which the provisional<\/p>\n<p>service could be taken into account, for the purpose of<\/p>\n<p>reckoning increment. One is where provisional service<\/p>\n<p>is rendered in the same post as of regular service. Other<\/p>\n<p>is where it is rendered in the same category of posts.<\/p>\n<p>Learned Government Pleader vehemently submits that<\/p>\n<p>the explanation forming part of the Government decision<\/p>\n<p>W.P.(C).31658\/2006<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                              5<\/span><\/p>\n<p>as regards &#8220;the category of posts&#8221;          suggests    that<\/p>\n<p>provisional service as well as regular service should be<\/p>\n<p>rendered in a post      on the same time scale of pay.<\/p>\n<p>Question is whether it is so.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>8.    I am of the view that identity in the scales of pay<\/p>\n<p>in the context of Government decision No.2 to Rule 33<\/p>\n<p>as it stood at the relevant time, is really applicable in the<\/p>\n<p>case where the provisional service and the regular<\/p>\n<p>service are rendered in different posts, but which are<\/p>\n<p>claimed to be under the same category, where there is<\/p>\n<p>no identity of posts, then benefit of Government decision<\/p>\n<p>No.2 could be claimed only when both the posts are<\/p>\n<p>under the same time scale of pay. I am of the opinion<\/p>\n<p>that the conditions, which are required to be satisfied in<\/p>\n<p>relation to a case where provisional service and regular<\/p>\n<p>service are rendered in two different posts but claimed<\/p>\n<p>to be falling under the same category, is not required to<\/p>\n<p>be invoked or applied in a case where both the<\/p>\n<p>provisional service and regular service are rendered in<\/p>\n<p>W.P.(C).31658\/2006<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                               6<\/span><\/p>\n<p>the same post. In the present case, there is no dispute<\/p>\n<p>that the provisional service and regular service of the<\/p>\n<p>petitioner was in the same post of Junior Public Health<\/p>\n<p>Nurse (petitioner was appointed on regular basis as a<\/p>\n<p>lady Health Inspector which, according to the counsel for<\/p>\n<p>the petitioner, was later designated as Junior Public<\/p>\n<p>Health Nurse). There is no warrant or justification for<\/p>\n<p>denying the petitioner increment relatable to the<\/p>\n<p>provisional service rendered by her.<\/p>\n<p>9.    In the result, writ petition is allowed. Ext.P5 is set<\/p>\n<p>aside. Third respondent is directed to pass a revised<\/p>\n<p>order, taking into account the provisional service<\/p>\n<p>rendered by the petitioner for the purpose of           her<\/p>\n<p>pensionery benefits, within a period of three months<\/p>\n<p>from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.<\/p>\n<p>                                         V.GIRI,<br \/>\n                                         Judge<\/p>\n<p>mrcs<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kerala High Court A.S.Christina vs State Of Kerala on 8 February, 2008 IN THE HIGH COURT OF KERALA AT ERNAKULAM WP(C) No. 31658 of 2006(R) 1.
