The petitioners are presently working as Head Constables except<\/p>\n<p>the 5th, who is working as a Constable. As per the Recruitment Rules<\/p>\n<p>relating to the post of Assistant Sub Inspector (ASI) of Railway Protection<\/p>\n<p>Force, 40% of the vacancies in the cadre are to be filled from among the<\/p>\n<p>Head Constables\/Constables with 10 years service by a process of<\/p>\n<p>Limited Departmental Competitive Examination.<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_2\">      3. In the year 2001, a Notification was issued for filling up 23<\/p>\n<p>vacancies in the cadre of Assistant Sub Inspector under the 40% quota.<\/p>\n<p>The examination was conducted and the entire selection process was<\/p>\n<p>over as on 26.7.2001. Subsequently, the entire selection was cancelled.<\/p>\n<p>This was the subject matter of the O.P.No.12361 of 2002. By Ext.P2, the<\/p>\n<p>said Writ Petition was allowed. Again the matter was taken up by the<\/p>\n<p>respondents in Writ Appeal No.346 of 2006, which was also dismissed.<\/p>\n<p>This is evident from Ext.P3. Between the years, 2001 to 2006, no<\/p>\n<p>selection was conducted against 40% quota. Thereafter, a Notification,<\/p>\n<p>Ext.P5 dtd.31.1.2006, to fill up 50 vacancies against 40% quota, was<\/p>\n<p>issued and the petitioners again wrote the examination and qualified in<\/p>\n<p>wpc:25440 of 2008<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\" id=\"span_1\">                                      2<\/span><\/p>\n<p>the written examination.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_3\">      4. Ext.P6 is the list of qualified staff under the 40% quota and<\/p>\n<p>the petitioners&#8217; names have been included as Serial Nos.43, 73, 50, 26,<\/p>\n<p>15 and 38 respectively. Finally, a panel consisting of 33 persons was<\/p>\n<p>issued. That means there was a reduction of 17 posts.<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_4\">      5. The petitioners approached the higher authorities and the<\/p>\n<p>respondents came out with the reply that 17 vacancies had been<\/p>\n<p>reduced so as to accommodate the persons covered by Exts.P2 and P3<\/p>\n<p>judgments. The petitioners thereafter challenged the same in W.P.(C)<\/p>\n<p>No.32302 of 2007 which was disposed of by Ext.P9 judgment. It was<\/p>\n<p>held that, the implementation of Exts.P2 and P3 judgment shall not<\/p>\n<p>result in any detriment to petitioners. The authorities were directed to<\/p>\n<p>take a fresh decision, in accordance with the findings contained in the<\/p>\n<p>judgment.    It is, thereafter, that the present order was passed.<\/p>\n<p>Presently, the petitioners contend that the stand taken in Ext.P1 that<\/p>\n<p>they cannot be accommodated in the vacancies, in view of the fact that<\/p>\n<p>17 persons are accommodated to implement Ext.P2 judgment is not<\/p>\n<p>correct. According to them, going by the directions in Ext.P9 they<\/p>\n<p>were entitled to be accommodated since many persons who were not<\/p>\n<p>eligible to be accommodated           against 40% quota have been<\/p>\n<p>accommodated under 60% quota and therefore, going by the direction<\/p>\n<p>in Ext.P9 judgment they should have been given priority in accordance<\/p>\n<p>with the number of vacancies to accommodate the petitioners. It is<\/p>\n<p>wpc:25440 of 2008<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\" id=\"span_1\">                                      3<\/span><\/p>\n<p>revealed from the interim order dtd.16.9.2008 passed by this Court in<\/p>\n<p>this Writ Petition that six vacancies are available in the said post.<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_5\">      6. The respondents have filed a detailed counter affidavit. The<\/p>\n<p>stand taken in the counter affidavit in a nutshell is that the<\/p>\n<p>cancellation of the Notification in the year 2001, led to the challenge in<\/p>\n<p>Ext.P2 judgment and by the time second notification was issued they<\/p>\n<p>had to comply with the directions in Ext.P2 judgment. Accordingly,<\/p>\n<p>corrigendum notification was issued. Even though a challenge was<\/p>\n<p>made against the notification that was repelled and the notification<\/p>\n<p>was upheld in Ext.P9 judgment. Therefore, the respondents cannot go<\/p>\n<p>back against the principles in P9 judgment. It is therefore submitted<\/p>\n<p>that what was done is only to comply with the directions in Ext.P2<\/p>\n<p>judgment and naturally they had to accommodate 17 persons against<\/p>\n<p>the vacancies notified in the year 2006. It is also contended that a<\/p>\n<p>fresh notification was issued in the year 2008. The petitioners are not<\/p>\n<p>eligible to participate in the said selection, since they have already<\/p>\n<p>availed two chances. It is admitted in para 16 that petitioners have<\/p>\n<p>qualified in the selection.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_6\">      7. A reading of Ext.P9 judgment shows that the entire aspects<\/p>\n<p>which led to the dispute have been considered in detail. This Court<\/p>\n<p>was of the view that the vacancies which had to be filled up by eligible<\/p>\n<p>candidates under 40% quota by conducting Limited Departmental<\/p>\n<p>Competitive Examination. It was also found that the entire vacancies<\/p>\n<p>wpc:25440 of 2008<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\" id=\"span_2\">                                       4<\/span><\/p>\n<p>under the 40% quota available as on the date of Ext.P1 had been<\/p>\n<p>notified   under    Ext.P1     and   therefore,  the  respondents   had<\/p>\n<p>accommodated the said 17 persons from the 50 vacancies which were<\/p>\n<p>notified in Ext.P1. It was held that this Court was not in a position to<\/p>\n<p>say that the action taken was illegal and the respondents had to take<\/p>\n<p>appropriate steps to comply with the judgment Ext.P7 ((P2) herein.)<\/p>\n<p>Accordingly the corrigendum notification was upheld and thereafter<\/p>\n<p>further directions were issued in the light of the contention raised by<\/p>\n<p>the petitioners to ascertain whether the quota earmarked as 40% were<\/p>\n<p>filled up by the other quota viz 60%.        A reading of the operative<\/p>\n<p>portion of the judgment shows that this Court directed the respondents<\/p>\n<p>to take fresh decision after ascertaining whether the vacancies, which<\/p>\n<p>had to be filled up under the 40% quota and available as on the date of<\/p>\n<p>Ext.P9 were filled up by persons under 60% quota on the basis of<\/p>\n<p>seniority\/suitability. If it is so found, then a proportionate number of<\/p>\n<p>vacancies may be made available to persons included in Ext.P2 rank<\/p>\n<p>list, over and above the number of vacancies which have already been<\/p>\n<p>filled up by virtue of Ext.P3. Proceedings in this regard may be passed<\/p>\n<p>by the first respondent within four months from the date of receipt of a<\/p>\n<p>copy of the judgment. Therefore, an exercise had to be made to find<\/p>\n<p>out whether petitioners could be accommodated against 40% quota.<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_7\">       8. A reading of Ext.P1 shows that 66 vacancies which existed in<\/p>\n<p>40% quota were adjusted and promotion was given on the basis of<\/p>\n<p>wpc:25440 of 2008<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\" id=\"span_3\">                                      5<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Seniority\/Suitability by giving one time exemption in terms of the<\/p>\n<p>Board&#8217;s letter No.PC-III\/200\/CRC\/1(RPF\/RPSF) dated 15.9.2004. The<\/p>\n<p>authority was of the view that it is not feasible at this juncture to make<\/p>\n<p>available any vacancy in favour of the petitioners.        But as already<\/p>\n<p>noticed, in the operative portion of the judgment this Court held that if<\/p>\n<p>such a contingency arises there shall be a proportionate increase in<\/p>\n<p>the number of vacancies to be made available to persons included in<\/p>\n<p>Ext.P2 rank list over and above the number of vacancies which have<\/p>\n<p>already been filled by virtue of Ext.P3. Therefore, even though in the<\/p>\n<p>subsequent notification in the year 2006, 17 persons had to be<\/p>\n<p>accommodated to implement the directions in Ext.P2 judgment, the<\/p>\n<p>petitioners had also acquired a right for accommodation if as a matter<\/p>\n<p>of fact persons from the 60% quota have been accommodated between<\/p>\n<p>2001 to 2006      in excess of the quota. Therefore the view taken in<\/p>\n<p>Ext.P1 that the petitioners cannot be accommodated in any vacancies<\/p>\n<p>cannot be sustained. It is clear that the issue was directed to be<\/p>\n<p>considered in the correct perspective and hence what was specified as<\/p>\n<p>per Ext.P9 judgment cannot be overlooked by the respondents and the<\/p>\n<p>finding in paragraph 6 of the judgment of this Court in Ext.P9 is<\/p>\n<p>binding   on the respondents who were already parties to the said<\/p>\n<p>judgment. If that be so, I am of the view that the persons like the<\/p>\n<p>petitioners need not suffer at the hands of the respondents and their<\/p>\n<p>claim for accommodation survives.          The finding in Ext.P1 that<\/p>\n<p>wpc:25440 of 2008<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\" id=\"span_4\">                                      6<\/span><\/p>\n<p>petitioners are unqualified is not correct, in view of the admitted fact<\/p>\n<p>that they have qualified in the selection.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_8\">      9. Only 6 out of the selected candidates as per Ext.P6, have come<\/p>\n<p>up seeking for appointment. Pursuant to the interim order, 6 posts of<\/p>\n<p>A S I have been kept unfilled.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_9\">      Therefore, Ext.P1 is quashed. It is declared that the petitioners<\/p>\n<p>are entitled for appointment to the post of ASI\/RPF and appropriate<\/p>\n<p>orders shall be passed within a period of 2 months from the date of<\/p>\n<p>receipt of a copy of this judgment. The claim for arrears of pay etc.<\/p>\n<p>cannot be granted obviously because they have not worked in the post<\/p>\n<p>in question. The Writ Petition is allowed. No costs.<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_10\">                                  T.R.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR,<br \/>\n                                           JUDGE<\/p>\n<p>bps<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kerala High Court R.V.Radhakrishnan Nair vs The Director General on 12 January, 2009 IN THE HIGH COURT OF KERALA AT ERNAKULAM WP(C).No. 25440 of 2008(C) 1.
