First respondent\/petitioner was working as Assistant Manager in the<\/p>\n<p>appellant Corporation. As per the Special Rules he was eligible to be considered<\/p>\n<p>for promotion to the post of Regional Manager on 3.11.2007 when he completed<\/p>\n<p>seven years&#8217; service as Assistant Manager. The provisions of Special Rules<\/p>\n<p>regarding the promotion were stated in the impugned judgment. It is also stated<\/p>\n<p>that there are four Regional Managers on deputation. It is true that as per the<\/p>\n<p>Special Rules, Regional Managers can be appointed on deputation from State<\/p>\n<p>Government Service. The operative portion of the impugned judgment would<\/p>\n<p>say that first respondent also should be considered for the post of Regional<\/p>\n<p>Manager in the Kerala State Backward Classes Development Corporation<\/p>\n<p>because he is qualified. The Corporation filed this appeal contending that the<\/p>\n<p>existing Regional Managers were re-designated as District Managers and now<\/p>\n<p>there is no post of Regional Managers.                If the post is re-designated, the<\/p>\n<p>judgment should be considered in that               spirit and instead of as Regional<\/p>\n<p>Manager, he can be promoted as District Manager.                  We see no ground to<\/p>\n<p>interfere with the impugned judgment.          It is submitted that confidential reports<\/p>\n<p>WA No.2186\/2008<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                                         2<\/span><\/p>\n<p>are available with the employer. It is for the employer to consider it according to<\/p>\n<p>law.   However, we grant three weeks further time to the appellant Corporation<\/p>\n<p>for implementation of the judgment.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>      Writ Appeal is dismissed with the above observation.<\/p>\n<p>                                                   J.B.KOSHY,<br \/>\n                                                     JUDGE.\n<\/p>\n<p>                                                THOMAS P.JOSEPH,<br \/>\n                                                        JUDGE.\n<\/p>\n<p>cks<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kerala High Court The Kerala State Backward Classes vs Sabu.S. on 27 November, 2008 IN THE HIGH COURT OF KERALA AT ERNAKULAM WA.No. 2186 of 2008() 1.
