      The petitioner who was appointed as Watcher, was later promoted as<\/p>\n
a Lab Assistant from the category of 25% for transfer appointment from<\/p>\n
qualified Class IV employees.          He is aggrieved by Ext.P12, whereby<\/p>\n
approval of his appointment has been rejected.\n<\/p>\n
      2.   The petitioner has been working under the third respondent<\/p>\n
management as a Watcher from the year 1985. He was promoted as a Peon<\/p>\n
in the year 1987. The Government as per G.O.(P) No.331\/2001\/G.Edn.<\/p>\n
dated 9.11.2001 prescribed the method of appointment and qualification for<\/p>\n
non-teaching staff in aided Higher Secondary Schools. As far as the post of<\/p>\n
Lab Assistant is concerned, 25% of the total posts shall be filled up from<\/p>\n
among Class IV employees in the schools under the educational agency<\/p>\n
and the remaining 75% by direct recruitment. This is clear from Ext.P2. By<\/p>\n
Ext.P3, the Government sanctioned two posts of Lab Assistants in each<\/p>\n
aided higher secondary school.            By Ext.P4, the Director of Higher<\/p>\n
Secondary Education accorded sanction for creation of two posts of Lab<\/p>\n
Assistant in the third respondent’s school.\n<\/p>\n
wpc 34049\/2006                         2<\/span><\/p>\n
      3. The manager made the appointments subsequently. It appears that<\/p>\n
apart from making appointments in these two sanctioned posts, he made<\/p>\n
appointment to two supernumerary posts also. All the four happened to be<\/p>\n
fresh appointments coming under the 75% quota, that too without<\/p>\n
recognising the right of the petitioner who was the seniormost under the<\/p>\n
25% category.\n<\/p>\n
      4.   By Ext.P5, the Director of Higher Secondary Education granted<\/p>\n
approval of appointment of one Jaya Hari, being an appointee under the<\/p>\n
75% category.       As per Ext.P8, approval has been granted for the<\/p>\n
appointment of      one Gopakumar D., and Anil Nair in two posts on<\/p>\n
supernumerary basis. The petitioner was appointed as per Ext.P1 by the<\/p>\n
Manager, after the Director refused approval of appointment one of the<\/p>\n
persons appointed under the 75% quota. By Ext.P6, the Government fixed a<\/p>\n
cut off date, viz. 28.3.2003 so as to regularise the appointments made to the<\/p>\n
post of four Lab Assistants. The Government later, by Ext.P7, issued a<\/p>\n
revised order. Going by Ext.P7, the person appointed by direct recruitment<\/p>\n
under 75% quota will be accommodated against the first sanctioned post<\/p>\n
and second sanctioned post will be earmarked for appointment by transfer<\/p>\n
appointment under 25% quota.        The petitioner is relying upon the said<\/p>\n
clause. But the Director of Higher Secondary Education forwarded his<\/p>\n
recommendations as per Exts.P10 and P11 to the Government stating that<\/p>\n
wpc 34049\/2006                         3<\/span><\/p>\n
the appointment cannot be approved as it was made after the cut off date,<\/p>\n
viz. 28.3.2003. Accordingly, the Government rejected the approval as per<\/p>\n
Ext.P12.    The view taken in Ext.P12 is that      since the petitioner was<\/p>\n
promoted to the post of Lab Assistant by the Manager on 21.2.2005, there<\/p>\n
exists no vacancy of Lab Assistant to promote him as on that date. The<\/p>\n
above finding is rendered relying upon clause (iv) of Ext.P7, to the effect<\/p>\n
that if one or both of the sanctioned posts happen to be vacant it will be<\/p>\n
filled up by accommodating the elder supernumerary person.             Fresh<\/p>\n
appointments of Lab Assistants shall be made only after exhausting the<\/p>\n
supernumerary posts and a vacancy arises in the sanctioned posts.<\/p>\n
Accordingly, it was held that there is no vacancy.\n<\/p>\n
       5. Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the view taken by<\/p>\n
the Government cannot be accepted. It is pointed out that going by clause<\/p>\n
(ii) of Ext.P7, the person appointed by direct recruitment under 75% quota<\/p>\n
will be accommodated against the first sanctioned post and second<\/p>\n
sanctioned post will be earmarked for appointment by transfer appointment<\/p>\n
under 25% quota.       The petitioner was eligible and entitled for such<\/p>\n
appointment. But the Manager made a mistake in filling up all the four<\/p>\n
posts by direct recruits. Approval was not granted in respect of one of the<\/p>\n
appointees. Obviously, going by Ext.P7 the person appointed under the<\/p>\n
75% quota will be accommodated against the first sanctioned post. Going<\/p>\n
wpc 34049\/2006                        4<\/span><\/p>\n
by Ext.P8, two other appointees were granted approval on supernumerary<\/p>\n
basis. Therefore, it is clear from these two orders that the second post<\/p>\n
earmarked for 25% quota has not been filled up properly. This fact has not<\/p>\n
been taken into consideration by the Government while passing Ext.P12<\/p>\n
order. Only in the absence of a person coming under clause (ii) of Ext.P7<\/p>\n
alone, the method provided under clause (iv) can be adopted. This is not a<\/p>\n
case where one of the sanctioned post was kept vacant prior to 28.3.2003<\/p>\n
since the manager had filled up all the four vacancies by fresh hands. The<\/p>\n
eligibility of the petitioner for appointment is evident, since he was the<\/p>\n
rightful claimant under 25% quota, which is an admitted fact. Therefore,<\/p>\n
when the manager has issued Ext.P1 appointment order, that should have<\/p>\n
been with effect from 2.6.2003, viz. the date of creation of post as per<\/p>\n
Ext.P4. Merely for the said fault of the manager the petitioner cannot be<\/p>\n
deprived of his rightful claim.\n<\/p>\n
      6. In the counter affidavit, in para 4 it is clearly stated that 25%<\/p>\n
vacancy of Lab Assistant is reserved for ‘by promotion category.” As such,<\/p>\n
one post is to be set apart for appointment by promotion from the existing<\/p>\n
Class IV employees of the school. But the manager has not done this prior<\/p>\n
to 28.3.2003. He appointed all the four Lab Assistants from open market.<\/p>\n
      7. It is clear from the averments contained in para 2 of the counter<\/p>\n
affidavit that an objection was taken regarding the approval of appointment<\/p>\n
wpc 34049\/2006                        5<\/span><\/p>\n
in respect of one of the four appointees who were appointed from open<\/p>\n
market by the manager. It is stated that at the time of granting approval of<\/p>\n
appointment to the Lab Assistants, this anomaly was brought to the<\/p>\n
attention of the manager and then he appointed the petitioner as Lab<\/p>\n
Assistant with effect from 21.2.2005 and furnished the proposal for<\/p>\n
approval. This aspect is pointed out in Exts.P10 and P11 also by the<\/p>\n
Director. In Ext.P11, it is specifically stated in para 5 that “actually Shri<\/p>\n
Rajendran Nair was to be appointd in the post prior to 28.3.2003.”<\/p>\n
Therefore, clearly, if the appointment of the petitioner was made at the right<\/p>\n
point of time, it could have been approved, as eligibility has been<\/p>\n
recognised. The manager had illegally appointed another person in the<\/p>\n
post to which the petitioner had to be appointed. Once the approval is<\/p>\n
rejected in respect of one of the appointees, automatically the manager<\/p>\n
should have appointed the petitioner with effect from the date of Ext.P4.<\/p>\n
       6. In that view of the matter, the stand taken by the Government in<\/p>\n
Ext.P12 cannot be accepted. The main reason stated that the appointment<\/p>\n
was effected from 21.2.2005 and the regularisation can be made only in<\/p>\n
respect of appointments made up to 28.3.2003. As already noticed, the<\/p>\n
method provided in clause (iv) of Ext.P7 could be considered only if one of<\/p>\n
the sanctioned posts happened to be vacant. Herein, clearly the second post<\/p>\n
under 25% quota was filled up by the manager as on the cut off date.<\/p>\n
wpc 34049\/2006                        6<\/span><\/p>\n
Therefore, the petitioner should be the beneficiary when the approval was<\/p>\n
refused in respect of one of the appointees in the vacancy earmarked     for<\/p>\n
transfer appointment, under 25% category.\n<\/p>\n
      7.   In that view of the matter, Ext.P12 is quashed.        The third<\/p>\n
respondent Manager is directed to submit a fresh proposal for filling up the<\/p>\n
vacancy earmarked for 25% quota by appointing the petitioner with effect<\/p>\n
from 28.3.2003. Appropriate action shall be taken within a period of one<\/p>\n
month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. The Manager<\/p>\n
will forward the proposal to the second respondent          who will pass<\/p>\n
appropriate orders regarding approval in the light of the findings rendered<\/p>\n
above, within a further period of six weeks. The petitioner will be entitled<\/p>\n
for consequential monetary benefits also.\n<\/p>\n
      The writ petition is allowed as above. No costs.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
