Balakrishnan Nair, J:\n<\/p>\n<p>           The petitioner is the applicant in  O.A.No. 590 of 2001.  Respondents 1 to 3 were<\/p>\n<p>the respondents  therein.   The   petitioner  was selected and appointed as   E.D.  Branch<\/p>\n<p>Postmaster  of Vatanappilly  Beach Branch.  From among the applicants who applied for<\/p>\n<p>the post,  the petitioner was selected and appointed, as per memo dated   16.01.2002.\n<\/p>\n<p>Later   the   Reviewing   Authority   found   that     the   income   of   the   petitioner     is  not   derived<\/p>\n<p>from     landed   property.     As   per   the   conditions   prescribed     for   appointment,   the<\/p>\n<p>candidates should have independent income  and that it  should be  derived either from<\/p>\n<p>landed property or immovable property.   The applicant&#8217;s income was from a partnership<\/p>\n<p>firm in which she was a partner. The Reviewing Authority   brought this to the notice of<\/p>\n<p>the   Appointing Authority, who in turn issued Annexure-A5 memo  dated 05.06.2001 to<\/p>\n<p>the applicant, which reads as follows:\n<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>           &#8220;The   Reviewing   Authority   has   held   that   your   selection   as   BPM,<\/p>\n<p>           Vatanappally   Beach, was erroneous on the ground that   independent<\/p>\n<p>           income is not derived from landed or immovable property and as such<\/p>\n<p>           you did not  fulfill  the preferential  condition for the appointment.    It is<\/p>\n<p>           therefore   proposed   to     terminate   your   service.         You   are   given<\/p>\n<p>W.P.(C) No. 14664  OF  2004<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                                                         2<\/span><\/p>\n<p>         opportunity  to make representation against the proposed action.    If no<\/p>\n<p>         representation is received within 10 days of receipt  of this letter, it will<\/p>\n<p>         be presumed  that you  have no representation to make and  action will<\/p>\n<p>         be taken accordingly.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>         2.     Feeling   aggrieved   by   the     aforesaid   memo,     the   petitioner   filed   Ext.   P1<\/p>\n<p>O.A.No.   590   of   2001.     The   petitioner   contended   that   the   condition   that   independent<\/p>\n<p>income should   be derived either from   landed property or   immovable property is ultra<\/p>\n<p>vires   and   unconstitutional   and     it   has   been   held   so   by   this   Court     also.     The   official<\/p>\n<p>respondents  filed a reply statement  reiterating their stand in  Annexure-A5.  Thereafter,<\/p>\n<p>an additional reply was also filed.  The Tribunal, after hearing both sides. did not decide<\/p>\n<p>whether Annexure-A5 is valid or not, but directed the Appointing Authority to re-consider<\/p>\n<p>the claims of all the applicants including  petitioner&#8217;s claim and to make  fresh selection.\n<\/p>\n<p>Pursuant   to   the   said   direction   in   Ext.P5   order   of   the   Tribunal,     Ext.P7   order   dated<\/p>\n<p>05.11.2003 was passed, making the selection solely based on the  marks  obtained  in<\/p>\n<p>the S.S.L.C.  Examination.    In the  meantime,  the petitioner   filed  a  Review Application<\/p>\n<p>before   the   Central   Administrative   Tribunal  ,   which   stood   dismissed   by   Ext.   P10   order<\/p>\n<p>dated 07.05.2004.  Hence this Writ Petition, challenging  Exts. P5, P7 and P10 orders .\n<\/p>\n<p>         3.  The learned Senior Counsel Shri. O.V. Radhakrishnan appearing for the Writ<\/p>\n<p>Petitioner   submitted that the Tribunal should have either upheld the challenge against<\/p>\n<p>Annexure-A5   or   repelled   it.     Instead   of   doing   that,   the   Tribunal   went   at   a   tangent,<\/p>\n<p>unsettled   her   selection   and   also   ordered   to   re-consider   the   applications   of   other<\/p>\n<p>candidates   also   for   appointment   to   the   post   who   have   suffered   her     selection     and<\/p>\n<p>appointment.  So the learned counsel prayed for interference with the impugned order.\n<\/p>\n<p>The other candidates who were considered for selection as  per Ext. P7 order, were not<\/p>\n<p>W.P.(C) No. 14664  OF  2004<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                                                        3<\/span><\/p>\n<p>made parties to the Writ Petition.  Later they were impleaded.  Additional 6th respondent<\/p>\n<p>who was one of the candidates so impleaded,   has filed a counter affidavit supporting<\/p>\n<p>the impugned order.    We also heard the learned counsel  appearing for the additional<\/p>\n<p>6th respondent.\n<\/p>\n<p>         4.   We  find considerable force in the submission of the learned Senior Counsel<\/p>\n<p>that   the   Tribunal   was   only   called   upon   to   decide     the   validity   of   Annexure-A5   order,<\/p>\n<p>which   was   impugned   in   Ext.P1   Original   Application.     The   Tribunal     could   have   either<\/p>\n<p>dismissed the O.A. holding that it is only a notice or  could have quashed it, holding that<\/p>\n<p>the condition  regarding  income from  the landed  property has already been held to  be<\/p>\n<p>unconstitutional by this Court.     Instead  of  choosing    one of   the  aforesaid   options,  the<\/p>\n<p>Tribunal had made a further enquiry into other collateral matters and gave a direction to<\/p>\n<p>the appointing  authority to make   a fresh  selection.   In that process, the  selection and<\/p>\n<p>appointment of the petitioner stood set aside, without there being any challenge to  it by<\/p>\n<p>the rival candidates   or any   decision of the  Reviewing Authority.   We  are of the view<\/p>\n<p>that the course followed by the Tribunal is plainly illegal.  Accordingly, Exts. P5 and P10<\/p>\n<p>orders are quashed.   Ext.P7   being an order passed,   based on Ext.P5 order, same is<\/p>\n<p>also quashed. Since Annexure A5 is only a notice, we leave it to the competent authority<\/p>\n<p>to     take   a   decision   in   the   matter.     Instead   of   the   Appointing   Authority,   we   feel,   the<\/p>\n<p>Reviewing Authority shall do that. The said authority shall take a decision, after affording<\/p>\n<p>an opportunity of being heard to  the petitioner and other affected parties,  if any, as to<\/p>\n<p>whether   it   should   stick   to   the     stand   taken   by   it   earlier   which   led   to   issuance   of<\/p>\n<p>Annexure-A5   order\/notice.     The   Writ   Petitioner   shall  produce   a  copy  of   this  judgment<\/p>\n<p>before the Reviewing Authority within one month from today.   The Reviewing Authority<\/p>\n<p>W.P.(C) No. 14664  OF  2004<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                                             4<\/span><\/p>\n<p>shall take a decision in the matter within two months from the date of receipt of a copy<\/p>\n<p>of this judgment.\n<\/p>\n<p>       The Writ Petition is disposed of as above.\n<\/p>\n<p>                                                                      K.
