Balakrishnan Nair, J.\n<\/p>\n
            The appellants were the writ petitioners. The Writ<\/p>\n
Petition was filed by them, challenging Ext.P3 order of the<\/p>\n
Director of Public Instruction (for short “D.P.I.”), revising the<\/p>\n
staff fixation order of their school for the academic year 1997-<\/p>\n
98, Ext.P4 order of the Government, affirming the same and<\/p>\n
also Ext.P5 order of the Government declining to take a different<\/p>\n
view than the one taken in Ext.P4. The learned counsel for the<\/p>\n
appellants submitted that Ext.P4 was already quashed by this<\/p>\n
Court and on reconsideration, in its place, Ext.P5 order was<\/p>\n
passed. So, the appellants pressed only the challenge against<\/p>\n
Exts.P3 and P5 orders.\n<\/p>\n
      2.   After the finalisation of the staff fixation order, the<\/p>\n
super check cell under the D.P.I made a visit to the school on<\/p>\n
3.11.1997. Based on the report of the super check cell, the<\/p>\n
WA No.2814\/2009\n<\/p>\n
                              – 2 –\n<\/p>\n
D.P.I issued Ext.P2 notice, proposing to revise the staff fixation<\/p>\n
order of the year 1997-98. The irregularities noted by the super<\/p>\n
check cell were also stated in Ext.P2. After taking into account<\/p>\n
the representations received against the said proposal, the D.P.I<\/p>\n
passed final order Ext.P3, reducing one division in Standard<\/p>\n
VIII, which resulted in reduction of one H.S.A (core subject),<\/p>\n
one H.S.A (Malayalam), one H.S.A (Hindi), one L.D.Clerk and<\/p>\n
one F.T.C.M with effect from 15.7.1997.          The    Manager<\/p>\n
challenged Ext.P3 before the Government.        The Government<\/p>\n
affirmed Ext.P3 by Ext.P4 order.       The Manager challenged<\/p>\n
Ext.P4 before this Court.    This Court, after quashing Ext.P4,<\/p>\n
remanded the matter for reconsideration. The Government re-<\/p>\n
heard the matter and issued Ext.P5 order.         Therefore, the<\/p>\n
appellants challenged Exts.P3 and P5 before the learned Single<\/p>\n
Judge.\n<\/p>\n
     3. The main contention canvassed before the learned<\/p>\n
Single Judge was that in view of the time limit contained in Rule<\/p>\n
15 of Chapter XXIII of the Kerala Education Rules (for short<\/p>\n
“K.E.R.”), Ext.P3 could not have been passed in August, 1998.<\/p>\n
WA No.2814\/2009\n<\/p>\n
                               – 3 –\n<\/p>\n
Such an order could have been passed only          on or before<\/p>\n
31.3.1998. But, the learned Single Judge took the view that the<\/p>\n
said contention cannot be accepted.      There is no time limit<\/p>\n
provided under Rule 12E(3) and Rule 16 of Chapter XXIII of the<\/p>\n
K.E.R., for revising the staff fixation orders.  Based on that<\/p>\n
finding the Writ Petition was dismissed. Hence this appeal.<\/p>\n
      4. We heard the learned counsel for the appellants and<\/p>\n
also   the   learned   Government     Pleader  for   the  official<\/p>\n
respondents. The learned counsel for the appellants, relying on<\/p>\n
Rule 15 of Chapter XXIII of the K.E.R., submitted that staff<\/p>\n
fixation orders cannot be revised after the end of the academic<\/p>\n
years. Rule 15 reads as follows:\n<\/p>\n
           “15.     Notwithstanding anything contained in
\n      these rules, if Educational Officers are satisfied  for
\n      valid and sufficient reasons to be recorded in writing
\n      that the fixation of staff strength was obtained by
\n      bogus admission or attendance or by fraud or
\n      misrepresentation, and the like the Educational
\n      Officers shall be competent to refix the staff strength
\n      at any time during the course of the year:\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
           Provided that no order under this rule shall be
\n      issued without notice to the parties who are likely to
\n      be affected thereby.”\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
We notice that the above Rule applies only to Educational<\/p>\n
WA No.2814\/2009\n<\/p>\n
                               – 4 –\n<\/p>\n
Officers and not to the D.P.I. Educational Officer is defined in<\/p>\n
Rule 2(5) of Chapter I of the K.E.R., which reads as follows:<\/p>\n
           “(5) ‘Educational Officer’ means the District
\n     Educational Officer or the Assistant Educational Officer
\n     having immediate inspectional and administrative
\n     control    over   the  school   within    his  respective
\n     jurisdiction. The term shall also include any Officer to
\n     whom the duty of inspection for specific purposes has
\n     been entrusted by competent authority.”\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Director is defined in Rule 2(4), which reads as follows:<\/p>\n
           “(4) ‘Director’   means the Director of Public
\n     Instruction     or the Director of Higher Secondary
\n     Education or such officer or officers who may from
\n     time to time be appointed by the Government            to
\n     exercise all or any of the powers of the Director of
\n     Public Instruction or the Director of Higher Secondary
\n     Education, as the case may be.”\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
In view of the said definition, the contention of the appellants<\/p>\n
that Educational Officer will take in its fold the D.P.I also and<\/p>\n
therefore, the time limit provided under Rule 15 of Chapter<\/p>\n
XXIII of the K.E.R also applies to the D.P.I., cannot be accepted.<\/p>\n
     5. The learned counsel for the appellants submitted that<\/p>\n
Ext.P2 proposal was not served on the appellants. This<\/p>\n
submission is disputed by the learned Government Pleader.<\/p>\n
Whatever be that, subsequently the appellants were heard by<\/p>\n
WA No.2814\/2009\n<\/p>\n
                                – 5 –\n<\/p>\n
the Government, the learned Single Judge and by us also. The<\/p>\n
main grievance raised before us for reconsideration was lack of<\/p>\n
jurisdiction of the authority concerned to revise the staff fixation<\/p>\n
orders after the end of the academic year. The same was the<\/p>\n
point raised before the learned Single Judge also.         So, the<\/p>\n
contention that Ext.P2 was not served on the appellants cannot<\/p>\n
be entertained after the lapse of 11 years.<\/p>\n
     In the result, the Writ Appeal fails and it is dismissed.<\/p>\n
                                      K. Balakrishnan Nair,
\n                                                 Judge.\n<\/p>\n
                                           P. Bhavadasan,
\n                                                 Judge.\n<\/p>\n
