That regulation was under challenge<\/p>\n<p>before this court in WP(c).No.12159\/06 and connected cases. The<\/p>\n<p>writ petitions were disposed of by judgment dated 7th August, 2009<\/p>\n<p>holding that the appointments which were made in the meanwhile<\/p>\n<p>were irregular for want of consultation with PSC as required in terms<\/p>\n<p>of the provisions contained in the Kerala Public Service Commission<\/p>\n<p>(Additional Functions as respects the KSRTC) Act 1970 and the Rules<\/p>\n<p>framed there under. The petitioners              in WP(c).Nos.30846\/2009,<\/p>\n<p>37306\/2009 and 115\/2010 are persons who are appointed in the<\/p>\n<p>meanwhile to the post of Assistant Transport Officer. In the<\/p>\n<p>judgment referred to above, after having found that the<\/p>\n<p>appointments are invalid for want of consultation this court issued<\/p>\n<p>the following directions.\n<\/p>\n<p>WPC.Nos. 30846\/09&amp; conn.\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                                    :2 :<\/span><\/p>\n<pre>                        \"Taking    all  the   aforesaid           into\n                        consideration,    it  is   orderedfactors\n                                                             that  the\n                        Corporation     will  immediately    take   up\n<\/pre>\n<p>                        necessary follow up action to commence and<br \/>\n                        complete the consultation process with the<br \/>\n                        PSC. The State Government will also do the<br \/>\n                        needful and the PSC will ensure that such<br \/>\n                        proceedings are not held up having regard to<br \/>\n                        the fact that the regulations were conceived<br \/>\n                        some time in 2003. As of now, those who have<br \/>\n                        been given the benefit of the 2003 Regulations<br \/>\n                        would continue to enjoy the same provisionally<br \/>\n                        in terms of the orders of appointment issued<br \/>\n                        by the Managing Director in their cases and<br \/>\n                        any selection process could also be completed<br \/>\n                        as regards the 15% internal recruitment<br \/>\n                        candidates and even appointment orders and<br \/>\n                        any incumbent joining duty in any such posts,<br \/>\n                        would be provisional and subject to review by<br \/>\n                        the Managing Director on the basis of the final<br \/>\n                        outcome of the consultation process. These<br \/>\n                        writ petitions are ordered accordingly.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>     2. Accordingly, the KSRTC took up the matter with the PSC<\/p>\n<p>and the PSC has issued letter dated 16.12.2009, which is produced<\/p>\n<p>as Ext.P9 in WP(c).No.5716\/2010.\n<\/p>\n<p>     3. In so far as WP(c)Nos.30846\/2010,37306\/2010 and<\/p>\n<p>115\/2020 filed by the appointees are concerned, what they claim is<\/p>\n<p>that since their appointment they are continuing in service, earned<\/p>\n<p>promotions but however are now being overlooked in the matter of<\/p>\n<p>WPC.Nos. 30846\/09&amp; conn.\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                                  :3 :<\/span><\/p>\n<p>promotion to the post of Chief Transport Officer. On the other hand<\/p>\n<p>in WP(c).No.5716\/2010 filed by the Transport Democratic Front and<\/p>\n<p>another, what they contend is that now that in pursuance to the<\/p>\n<p>judgment of this court, the matter was taken up with the PSC and<\/p>\n<p>since the PSC has clarified its position by its letter dated 16.12.2009<\/p>\n<p>referred to above, the appointments are to be invalidated.<\/p>\n<p>      4. In the judgment in WP(c).No.12159\/2006 and connected<\/p>\n<p>cases referred to above, this court directed the KSRTC to initiate<\/p>\n<p>consultation with the PSC in view of the provisions contained in<\/p>\n<p>Section 3 of the Act referred to above. It is in response to that the<\/p>\n<p>PSC has issued the letter dated 16.12.2009. Now that the matter is<\/p>\n<p>pending before the KSRTC,       it is for the KSRTC to consider the<\/p>\n<p>response of the PSC and take a decision in the matter. Obviously, if<\/p>\n<p>there is a conflict between the KSRTC and PSC, it is also open to the<\/p>\n<p>KSRTC to take up the matter with the Government and seek<\/p>\n<p>appropriate orders.\n<\/p>\n<p>      5. Therefore, at this stage what is required to be done is that<\/p>\n<p>the KSRTC should finally decide on this matter duly taking into<\/p>\n<p>account the views expressed by the PSC in its letter dated<\/p>\n<p>WPC.Nos. 30846\/09&amp; conn.\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                                 :4 :<\/span><\/p>\n<p>16.12.2009. This the KSRTC shall do as expeditiously as possible<\/p>\n<p>and at any rate within 6 weeks from the date of production of a<\/p>\n<p>copy of the judgment. Depending upon the final decision so taken,<\/p>\n<p>and if the decision is in favour of the appointees, their claim for<\/p>\n<p>promotion will also be considered by the KSRTC.<\/p>\n<p>     Writ petitions are disposed of as above.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>                                       (ANTONY DOMINIC)<br \/>\n                                             JUDGE<br \/>\nvi\/<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kerala High Court James.N.Chacko vs Branch Manager on 3 March, 2010 IN THE HIGH COURT OF KERALA AT ERNAKULAM WP(C).No. 37296 of 2008(M) 1.
