Titus K.Mathew vs Cochin University Of Science And on 8 June, 2007<\/div>\n
       \n\n  \n\n  \n\n \n \n  IN THE HIGH COURT OF KERALA AT ERNAKULAM\n\nWP(C) No. 27218 of 2006(M)\n\n\n1. TITUS K.MATHEW, SR.LECTURER,\n                      ...

(C ) NO.27218 of 2006\n\n                           --------------------------\n\n               Dated this the 8th day of June, 2007\n\n\n                             J U D G M E N T\n<\/pre>\n
        Petitioner,   who   is   working   as   a   Senior   Lecturer     in   the<\/p>\n
Department of  Physics in a Government College had applied for<\/p>\n
the post  of Reader in Theoretical Physics  in response to Ext.P6<\/p>\n
notification   issued   by   the   Cochin   University   of   Science   and<\/p>\n
Technology   (‘CUSAT’   for   short).   It   appears   that   only   the<\/p>\n
petitioner and two others had   applied for the above post.   The<\/p>\n
appointing   authority   found   that   only   the   petitioner   had   got  the<\/p>\n
requisite   qualifications   and   therefore   he   was   invited   for<\/p>\n
interview on  18.09.2006.  He was duly selected by the Selection<\/p>\n
Committee.     Later,   the   Syndicate   approved   the   selection   and<\/p>\n
resolved   to   appoint   him.     According   to   the   petitioner,   the<\/p>\n
decision   of   the   Syndicate   was   reported   in   Malayala   Manorama<\/p>\n
Daily  dated  24.09.2006.   A copy of the  said paper report   is  on<\/p>\n
record   as   Ext.P9.     This   writ   petition   was   preferred   by   the<\/p>\n
petitioner   in   October,   2006   complaining   that   the   University<\/p>\n
(CUSAT) is dragging    its feet   in the matter  of his  appointment<\/p>\n
without any justifiable reasons.   The prayer is to issue  a writ of<\/p>\n
Mandamus or such other appropriate writ, order or direction to<\/p>\n
W.P. (C ) NO.27218 of 2006<\/p>\n
                                        2<\/span><\/p>\n
the University to appoint him to the post in question.<\/p>\n
      2.     While   admitting  that  petitioner  was    selected  for   the<\/p>\n
post,   it   is   contended   by   the   University   that   he   had   not   been<\/p>\n
appointed so  far  in  view  of  certain  amendments    brought  in  by<\/p>\n
the   Government   to   Rules   14   and   15   of   Kerala   State   &<\/p>\n
Subordinate Service Rules (for short ” the Rules”).  It is the case<\/p>\n
of the University that the above post of Reader was   earmarked<\/p>\n
for   “other   backward   community”   as   indicated   in   Ext.P6<\/p>\n
notification itself.       The said post by rotation should go to turn<\/p>\n
90 earmarked for OBC.  According  to the University,  petitioner<\/p>\n
“belongs   to   the   category   of     Scheduled   Caste     converted   to<\/p>\n
Christianity”   and   therefore   he   would   not   be   entitled   to   get   the<\/p>\n
benefit   of   turn   90   reserved   for   an   OBC   candidate.     The<\/p>\n
amendment to Rules 14 and 15 further mandated that a vacancy<\/p>\n
which is earmarked   for a particular community or caste should<\/p>\n
be   given   to   that   caste   or   community   alone.     If   no   candidate<\/p>\n
belonging   to   the   said   caste   or   community   is   available,   the   said<\/p>\n
vacancy should be  renotified.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
      3.     The   above   contention   raised   by   the   University   is<\/p>\n
countered   by   the   petitioner   contending   that   Ext.P6   notification<\/p>\n
W.P. (C ) NO.27218 of 2006<\/p>\n
                                        3<\/span><\/p>\n
itself     contained   a   clause,   which   stipulated   that   candidates<\/p>\n
belonging   to   other   communities   as   well   as     others   under   the<\/p>\n
open   competition   category   could   also   apply.         For   the   sake   of<\/p>\n
convenience,   the   said   clause   in   Ext.P6   notification   is   extracted<\/p>\n
hereunder:\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
                           “Open   competition   candidates   and<\/p>\n
                           reserved   community   candidates   may<\/p>\n
                           also apply for the posts reserved for a<\/p>\n
                           particular   community   except   those<\/p>\n
                           reserved  for  SC\/ST;    but  they  will  be<\/p>\n
                           considered   for   appointment   only   in<\/p>\n
                           the   absence   of   candidates   belonging<\/p>\n
                           to   the     particular   community   for<\/p>\n
                           which a post is reserved.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
      4.     The  petitioner   contends   that     even   assuming   that   he<\/p>\n
does   not   belong   to   other   backward   community,   he   cannot   be<\/p>\n
denied   appointment   in   view   of   the   above   clause   in   the<\/p>\n
notification.    It is also contended that the amendments brought<\/p>\n
in by the Government to Rules 14 and 15 of   the Rules, though<\/p>\n
retrospective,   from   February, 2006 will have   no relevance or<\/p>\n
W.P. (C ) NO.27218 of 2006<\/p>\n
                                       4<\/span><\/p>\n
application     as   far   as   Ext.P6   notification   and   the   selection<\/p>\n
pursuant thereto are concerned.  It  is pointed out by the learned<\/p>\n
counsel that Ext.P6 notification dated 05.10.2005 was published<\/p>\n
on   10.10.2005.     The   last   date   for   receipt   of   application   was<\/p>\n
21.11.2005.  Interview was held on  18.10.2006.  Petitioner alone<\/p>\n
was found to be qualified for the post and he was selected by the<\/p>\n
Committee   constituted   for   this   purpose.   The   Syndicate<\/p>\n
considered   the   matter   in   its   meeting   held   on   23.9.2006   and   it<\/p>\n
was resolved that  the petitioner was entitled to be appointed.  It<\/p>\n
is thus contended by the petitioner that the  stand now taken by<\/p>\n
the   University   cannot   be   accepted   since   the   University   was   all<\/p>\n
along   aware   that  the   amendments   to   the   Rules     had   come  into<\/p>\n
force   with   effect     from     February,   2006.     But   nevertheless   the<\/p>\n
University   had   proceeded   with   the   selection   process.     A<\/p>\n
committee was constituted for this purpose, which had selected<\/p>\n
the petitioner.   Still later, the Syndicate held deliberations over<\/p>\n
the   issue   and   a   conscious   decision   was   taken   to   appoint   the<\/p>\n
petitioner.     It is therefore puerile  on the part of the University<\/p>\n
now   to   turn   round   and   contend   that   the   petitioner   cannot   be<\/p>\n
appointed   in   view   of   the   amendment   brought   in   by   the<\/p>\n
W.P. (C ) NO.27218 of 2006<\/p>\n
                                         5<\/span><\/p>\n
Government to Rules 14 and 15 of the Rules.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
      5.      In this context, petitioner also points out further that<\/p>\n
the   University   in   its   counter   affidavit   had     explicitly     admitted<\/p>\n
that   the   application   submitted   by   the   petitioner   alone   was<\/p>\n
accepted   as   he   possessed   sufficient   qualifications   and<\/p>\n
experience.  There is considerable force in the above contention<\/p>\n
raised by the petitioner.  In the above facts and circumstances of<\/p>\n
the   case,   I   do   not   find   any   justification   on   the   part   of   the<\/p>\n
University  in refusing to appoint   the petitioner as Reader if he<\/p>\n
is otherwise eligible.  It may be true that Rules 14 and 15  were<\/p>\n
amended   by   the   Government   with   retrospective   effect   from<\/p>\n
February,   2006.     But   the   notification   clearly   indicated   that     in<\/p>\n
the   absence   of   a   candidate   belonging   to   the   particular<\/p>\n
community   to   which   the   post   was   reserved,   other   eligible<\/p>\n
candidates     from   other   categories   would   also   be   considered.<\/p>\n
More   importantly   the   University   had   proceeded   with   the<\/p>\n
selection process.   In fact the Syndicate had decided to appoint<\/p>\n
the petitioner notwithstanding the amendment.  It cannot be said<\/p>\n
that the University was  not aware of the amendments brought in<\/p>\n
by the Government  after the publication of the notification.    In<\/p>\n
W.P. (C ) NO.27218 of 2006<\/p>\n
                                      6<\/span><\/p>\n
that view of the matter, the contention raised by the petitioner is<\/p>\n
liable to be accepted.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
      6.    Therefore, the writ petition is allowed.  The University<\/p>\n
shall issue order of   appointment to the petitioner as Reader   in<\/p>\n
Theoretical Physics, if he is otherwise eligible and  if there is no<\/p>\n
other   legal   impediment.     This   shall   be   done   within   two   weeks<\/p>\n
from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.<\/p>\n
