No. 23910 of 2009\n                 --------------------------------------------\n              Dated this the 17th day of December, 2010\n\n                               JUDGMENT\n<\/pre>\n<p>Ramachandran Nair, J.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>      Writ Petition is filed challenging the order of the Central<\/p>\n<p>Administrative Tribunal declining petitioner&#8217;s prayer for direction to<\/p>\n<p>the respondents for regularisation of his service under the norms issued<\/p>\n<p>by the Director General of Postal and Telecommunication. We have<\/p>\n<p>heard counsel appearing for the petitioner and Asst. Solicitor General<\/p>\n<p>appearing for the respondents.\n<\/p>\n<p>      2.  Petitioner was appointed as a leave substitute for Extra-<\/p>\n<p>Departmental Branch Postmaster in the year 1993. Since the employee<\/p>\n<p>on leave was superannuated, petitioner was allowed to continue until<\/p>\n<p>1998.   In the year 1998, department started selection proceedings<\/p>\n<p>wherein one Sri. Binu Mahid got appointed under the quota reserved<\/p>\n<p>for SC\/ST community. According to the respondents, the post was<\/p>\n<p>reserved for SC\/ST and therefore even though petitioner was allowed<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                                    2<\/span><\/p>\n<p>to participate under orders of the Tribunal, he was not selected.<\/p>\n<p>However, later it turned out to be that the person who claimed the<\/p>\n<p>status of SC community        and got appointment through fraudulent<\/p>\n<p>certificate about community, was dismissed from service in the year<\/p>\n<p>2005. In the vacancy arising on account of dismissal of the said<\/p>\n<p>person, petitioner again put up a claim by approaching the Tribunal,<\/p>\n<p>which directed the respondents to consider the petitioner for<\/p>\n<p>appointment on provisional basis. Respondents again inducted the<\/p>\n<p>petitioner in service in 2005 and he is continuing as of now. Petitioner<\/p>\n<p>approached the respondents for regularisation based on the norms<\/p>\n<p>issued by the Department, which provides for regularisation of<\/p>\n<p>temporary employees if they have rendered three years&#8217; service.<\/p>\n<p>However, Tribunal declined the petitioner&#8217;s prayer for regulrisation for<\/p>\n<p>the reason that petitioner got appointment and continued in service not<\/p>\n<p>by undergoing any process of selection, but either under orders of<\/p>\n<p>Tribunal or this Court or through appointment as a substitute in a leave<\/p>\n<p>vacancy. It is against this order of the Tribunal that petitioner has filed<\/p>\n<p>this Writ Petition.\n<\/p>\n<p>      3. Admittedly petitioner has put in more than 10 years&#8217; service as<\/p>\n<p>an Extra-departmental Branch Postmaster, though not as a regular<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                                    3<\/span><\/p>\n<p>employee. Respondents have no case that the service rendered by him<\/p>\n<p>in the course of 10 years was not to their satisfaction. The question to<\/p>\n<p>be considered is whether appointment and continuation of the<\/p>\n<p>petitioner for the last 10 years is a temporary employment under the<\/p>\n<p>norms for regularisation. Tribunal probably thought that appointment<\/p>\n<p>made pursuant to direction issued by the Tribunal or by this Court is<\/p>\n<p>not an appointment by observing any procedure. We do not think the<\/p>\n<p>view taken by the Tribunal is tenable because Tribunal and this Court<\/p>\n<p>on earlier occasions directed the department to consider petitioner for<\/p>\n<p>reemployment on provisional basis only because of his appointment in<\/p>\n<p>a substitute leave vacancy made by the department voluntarily and the<\/p>\n<p>successful completion of 5 years as a substitute employee from 1993 to<\/p>\n<p>1998. So much so it cannot be said that petitioner&#8217;s appointment and<\/p>\n<p>continuation is irregular or against the procedure prescribed. It is also<\/p>\n<p>to be seen that though post was reserved for SC\/ST community, only<\/p>\n<p>one person got selected in the selection process conducted by the<\/p>\n<p>department and he was himself later found to be ineligible as he<\/p>\n<p>produced only bogus certificate to prove his community. Department<\/p>\n<p>has no case that any other eligible candidate selected from the SC\/ST<\/p>\n<p>community in the list prepared in 1998 was available and if it was there<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                                     4<\/span><\/p>\n<p>as and when the first person was removed, such other candidate would<\/p>\n<p>have claimed the post. So much so, in our view, the post has to be<\/p>\n<p>dereserved as there are no suitable candidates from that community in<\/p>\n<p>that area. Of course we do not want to make any direction to the<\/p>\n<p>Department in this regard and it is upto them to consider norms for<\/p>\n<p>reservation of posts and dereservation. However, considering the 10<\/p>\n<p>years successful service of the petitioner, though on a provisional basis,<\/p>\n<p>we feel he is entitled to be considered for regularisation under the<\/p>\n<p>norms issued by the Director General of Postal and Telecommunication<\/p>\n<p>Accordingly respondents are directed to consider petitioner&#8217;s<\/p>\n<p>regularisation treating his appointment as one made in terms of the<\/p>\n<p>norms that entitle a candidate to be considered for regularisation.<\/p>\n<p>Petitioner should be allowed to continue until a decision is taken by the<\/p>\n<p>respondents as stated above.\n<\/p>\n<p>      W.P.C. is allowed as above.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>                                      (C.N.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR)<br \/>\n                                                      Judge.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n                                           (BHABANI PRASAD RAY)<br \/>\n                                                       Judge.\n<\/p>\n<p>kk<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kerala High Court D.Jolly vs The Chief Postmaster General on 17 December, 2010 IN THE HIGH COURT OF KERALA AT ERNAKULAM WP(C).No. 23910 of 2009(S) 1.
