Case Synopsis & Summary
This batch of writ petitions arises from displaced abkari workers and their dependants seeking rehabilitation under the Kerala Government orders that were intended to rehabilitate only those affected by the arrack ban. The Court confronts the long history of government orders: GO (RT) 212/2001, GO (RT) 01/2002, and GO (RT) 567/2004, culminating in the Supreme Court’s 2019 decision in Kerala State Beverages (M&M) Corp. Ltd. v. P.P. Suresh and Ors., which held that the 2002 order was superseded by the 2004 order. The Kerala High Court sustains a selective rehabilitation approach: it dismisses claims under the 2002 scheme for abkari workers; it, however, allows dependents who were minors as on 7/8/2004 to be considered by the Government upon attaining majority, within a four-month period. The court affirms that dependents who died after 7/8/2004 are not entitled to the scheme, and emphasizes that the 2004 order was not a broad dying-in-harness scheme but a targeted measure. The judgment harmonizes with past Kerala cases upholding limited relief for certain families, while aligning with the Supreme Court’s ultimate decision, and directs the Government to process eligible minor dependents expeditiously.

- D.S. Nakara and Others v. Union of India, 1983 (1) SCC 305
Submissions & Arguments
Contentions of Appellants / Petitioners
The petitioners contended that the 2002 GO promised rehabilitation for abkari workers and dependents; despite Supreme Court guidance and later orders, the court should extend benefits to those who could not submit their applications because of minority or other disabilities and to those whose parent workers died after 7/8/2004 if justice demands, arguing for equal treatment and legitimate expectation under the 2002 order, augmented by principles of fairness and equal protection.
Contentions of Respondents
The respondents contended that the 2002 order was replaced by the 2004 order; the latter limited the benefit to dependent sons of abkari workers who perished due to the ban, and did not create a general dying-in-harness or broad entitlement; the Apex Court in Suresh (2019) held 2002 order untenable; thus the relief cannot be extended to other categories; the State’s policy balance and public interest justify the limited and selective rehabilitation and its no-cost policy.

====================================================
These batch of writ petitions are filed by displaced abkari workers who were employed in arrack shops and who lost employment due to ban of arrack in the State of Kerala on 1/4/1996 and also by the dependents of such abkari workers for rehabilitation. The litigation itself has a chequered history. Therefore, various government orders and litigative history may be relevant for the disposal of these cases.
2. It appears that more than 12,500 arrack workers were deprived of their livelihood. The State Government paid compensation of Rs.30,000/- each to the arrack
## **`WPC 19522/2015 and con.cases`**
## **-:2:-**
workers in lieu of rehabilitation. The ex-gratia of Rs.2000/- was also disbursed by the State Government. These payments were effected besides other statutory claims to which they are entitled to. The displaced arrack workers demanded rehabilitation and launched a strike. The Government entered into an agreement with the abkari workers. Accordingly, it was decided that the abkari workers will be engaged in the retail outlets of the Indian Made Foreign Liquor of the Kerala State Beverages Corporation (for short, KSBC). The Government also fixed a quota of 25% for daily wage employment vacancies arising in KSBC outlets. Accordingly, the Government issued G.O.(Rt).No.01/2002/TD, dated 20/2/2002.
3. The Government, thereafter, modified the order dated 20/2/2002 by G.O.(Rt).No.567/2004/TD, dated 7/8/2004. The modification was to the effect that 25% of daily wage employment vacancies arising in KSBC should be earmarked for the dependent sons of arrack workers who had perished consequent on the loss of employment due to the ban on arrack in the State. The Government also referred
## **`WPC 19522/2015 and con.cases`**
## **-:3:-**
to the manner in which the vacancies will have to be filled in KSBC outlets in regard to the quota earmarked for the dependent sons.
4. Based on the government order dated 7/8/2004 the Chief Welfare Fund Inspector, Kerala Abkari Workers Welfare Fund Board prepared a list of 265 dependent sons of arrack workers who committed suicide. The candidates, who were included in the list filed W.P.(C).No.26878 of 2007 challenging denial of appointment in the existing vacancies of KSBC. This Court disposed the above writ petition on 3/4/2009 observing that there was no justifiable reason for not conferring benefits to a large group of abkari workers who were rendered jobless from 1996 onwards.
5. Based on the direction of this Court, the Government considered the matter in detail and issued an order, G.O.(RT).No.562/2009, dated 22/6/2009. The Government was of the view that the benefits should be confined only for the appointment of the dependent sons of arrack workers who had perished consequent to loss of
## **`WPC 19522/2015 and con.cases`**
## **-:4:-**
employment due to ban of arrack in the State. The Government also found that the earlier government order dated 20/2/2002 cannot be implemented due to a variety of practical difficulties such as want of a sufficient number of vacancies, eligibility criteria to accommodate abkari workers, etc.
6. Thus, the benefit of rehabilitation was confined to a small group of persons/dependents of the abkari workers who perished consequent upon abolishing arrack shops.
7. The decision of the Government, confining the benefits to a small group was challenged before this Court in a series of writ petitions. Those writ petitions were filed by the abkari workers, who were given the benefits as per the government order dated 20/2/2002. This Court, by judgment in W.P.(C). No. 19204 of 2005 and connected cases, dated 29/5/2015, upheld the claim of the abkari workers who were covered by the government order dated 20/2/2002. This was challenged before the Division Bench in Writ Appeal No.1416 of 2015 and connected cases. The
## **`WPC 19522/2015 and con.cases`**
## **-:5:-**
Division Bench also affirmed the judgment of this Court. This Court, as well as the Division Bench, was of the view that legitimate expectation of abkari workers who were rendered jobless consequent upon abolishing abkari shops in the State and covered by the government order dated 20/2/2002 cannot be resiled without there being an overwhelming public interest. Aggrieved by this, the State of Kerala and KSBC filed an appeal before the Hon'ble Supreme Court.
8. The Apex Court in its reported judgment in **Kerala State Beverages (M and M) Corporation Ltd. & Ors. v. P.P.Suresh and Ors.** [ **(2019) 9 SCC 710]** allowed the appeals and held that the order dated 20.2.2002 has been replaced by order dated 7.8.2004 and, therefore, the claim of abkari workers based on the order dated 20/2/2002 is legally untenable. The Apex Court also held that the promise held out by the Government to provide employment to the displaced abkari workers had become an impossible task in view of the non-availability of the vacancies in the Corporation and the decision taken by the Government
## **`WPC 19522/2015 and con.cases`**
## **-:6:-**
in overriding public interest was a measure to strike a balance between the competing interest of the displaced abkari workers and unemployed youth in the State of Kerala.
9. The present writ petitions are filed by three categories of persons – first, the abkari workers and dependents of abkari workers who were rendered jobless covered by government order dated 20/2/2002; second, the dependents of the abkari workers who died prior to 7/8/2004 and; third, the dependents of the abkari workers who died after 7/8/2004.
10. In regard to the claim of abkari workers and dependents of abkari workers, who were covered by the government order dated 20/2/2002, the matter has attained finality by the judgment of the Apex Court in **Kerala State Beverages (M and M) Corporation Ltd. & Ors.** case [ _supra_ **].** That means, they cannot have any claim in as much as that the Apex Court found that the order dated 20/2/2002 is replaced by government order dated 7/8/2004. Therefore, the writ petitions filed by such abkari workers and their
## **`WPC 19522/2015 and con.cases`**
## **-:7:-**
dependents based on the government order dated 20/2/2002 are only to be dismissed.
11. Next, what is to be considered in this batch of cases is the writ petitions filed by the dependents of the abkari workers who died prior to 7/8/2004. The case of such dependents is that they were minors as on the date of the government order dated 7/8/2004 and, they could not submit applications when the applications were invited by the Chief Welfare Fund Inspector, on account of their minority.
12. The above issue is covered in favour of such claimants by various judgments of this Court starting from W.P.(C). No. 4318/2010 dated 8/11/2011 and ending with judgment in W.P.(C).No. 40972/2016 dated 27/2/2018. In these judgments, this Court upheld the claim of minors who could not make applications due to minority as on 7/8/2004. The scheme of employment being a beneficial scheme to dependent family, there must be some agility in claiming the benefit. Therefore, the Government need to accommodate only such claim that was made immediately on
## **`WPC 19522/2015 and con.cases`**
## **-:8:-**
attaining the majority. Any belated claim need not be entertained by the Government. The Government have to examine such claim after referring to the date of the applications as well as the date of attaining majority. It is for the Government to be satisfied with the delay in making the applications if the same is not submitted immediately on attaining majority. In the light of the judgments referred to as above, the Government will have to consider such claim based on the government order dated 7/8/2004.
13. In regard to the third type of claim, the claim made by dependents of abkari workers who died after 7/8/2004, this Court has to advert it in detail.
14. It is relevant to refer the government order, G.O.(Rt).No.567/2004/TD, dated 7/8/2004 which reads thus:
_Government as per order first read above, ordered that 25% of all daily wage employment vacancies arising in the Kerala State Beverages Corporation in future should stand reserved to be filled up by the abkari workers registered with the Kerala Abkari Workers Welfare Fund Board who were terminated from service due to arrack ban with effect from 1.1.1996. Though certain daily wage vacancies were reserved reserved for the ex-abkari workers, these vacancies_
```
WPC 19522/2015 and con.cases
```
## **-:9:-**
_could not be filled up, as a list of eligible workers was not made available to the KSBC. This issue was subjected to detailed discussion in the meeting held by the Chief Minister on 22.10.2003. It was therein decided to fix new criteria for the rehabilitation of abkari workers and to fill up the vacancies reserved for them in future based on the revised criteria._
_Government have examined the issue in detail and are pleased to order that 25% of all daily wage employment vacancies arising in the Kerala State Beverages Corporation should be earmarked for the dependent sons of arrack workers who had perished consequent on the loss of employment due to the ban on arrack in the State and if such claimants are more than the available number of vacancies, selection will be made from among them, subject to following conditions:_
_(1) Only the dependent son who has not completed 38 years of age will be eligible._
_(2) The consent letter of the wife of the deceased and the FIR/Death Certificate also be submitted along with the application._
_A list of eligible abkari workers prepared on the basis of the above guideline shall be made available to the KSBC by the Chief Welfare Fund Inspector, the Kerala Abkari Workers Welfare Fund Board to fill up the vacancies. The order read as first paper above will stand modified to this extent._
The government order as above would show that the object of the government order was to provide rehabilitation only to the dependent son of arrack worker who perished consequent on the loss of employment due to the ban of arrack in the State. The government order implies a causal
## **`WPC 19522/2015 and con.cases`**
## **-:10:-**
connection between the ban and death of the arrack workers. The government order was a measure to provide solace to the bereaved family of such arrack workers. It is clear, concern of the Government was to address the issue of suicide committed by the arrack workers consequent upon abolishing arrack in the State. This order is not intended to operate as dying-in-harness scheme to benefit the family consequent upon the death of the arrack worker.
15. The learned counsel for the petitioners would submit that the arrack workers who died after 7/8/2004 are to be treated in like manner and the Government cannot treat them differently. It is further submitted that the family of such abkari workers also suffered the same trauma and pain like the family of abkari workers who died prior to 7/8/2004 and, therefore, it is argued that discrimination between the dependents of abkari workers who died prior to 7/8/2004 and after, is an affront to percept on equality. The learned counsel also placed reliance on the judgment of the Apex Court in **D.S. Nakara**
## **`WPC 19522/2015 and con.cases`**
## **-:11:-**
**and Others v. Union of India [(1983) 1 SCC 305]** to substantiate his claim **.**
16. The government order is unambiguous. In categorical terms, the Government identified the class of persons who are entitled to the benefit. That is, the dependents of arrack workers who perished consequent upon abolishing arrack shops in the State. That itself creates a vested right and legitimate expectation to a group of persons to aspire for rehabilitation. The group which now claims rehabilitation at par with the aforesaid group was not intended to be included by the Government in the scheme. Their claim have no nexus with ban and death of abkari workers. They have no vested right or legitimate expectation for rehabilitation. The object of the government order dated 7/8/2004 was not intended to provide rehabilitation to abkari workers, but was only to provide succour to the family of the deceased abkari workers who committed suicide. That being the basis of the government order, any other claim is outside the ambit of the government order. Those claims are tenuous to identify
## **`WPC 19522/2015 and con.cases`**
## **-:12:-**
with the claim of the dependents of the abkari workers who perished and are covered by the government order dated 7/8/2004. The concept of non-discrimination essentially refers to treating like in like manner in all circumstances which demand such treatment. The government order spells that it intends to provide rehabilitation to the dependents of the perished abkari workers. That was a measure for the family to tide over the situation. The proximity of death and claim, therefore, may have relevance in such matters.
17. The Apex Court judgment in **D.S.Nakara's** case _(supra)_ was essentially referring to differentiation of a group classified as pensioners by fixing criteria of date of retirement within the group for entitlement of pension. It was in that background the Apex Court held that there should be no discrimination between one person and another if as regards the subject matter of the legislation their position is substantially the same.
18. The similar claims by the dependent sons of abkari workers who died after 7.8.2004 were also
```
WPC 19522/2015 and con.cases
```
## **-:13:-**
considered by this Court in W.P.(C).No.40972/2016 and this Court found that such claims are untenable in as much as holding that the government order dated 7.8.2004 is a one time scheme and it does not cover any other claim.
19. If the government order does not contemplate any other claim, it is not for this Court to enter upon such a policy matter which is in the domain of the executive to formulate. There may be hard cases that may demand some attention of the Government. As observed earlier, the scheme was not intended as a dying-in-harness scheme. This Court cannot extend the purpose of the government order beyond its realm to confer the benefits on others. Therefore, the claim of dependents of abkari workers who died after 7/8/2004 has to be rejected.
20. Accordingly, the writ petitions are disposed with the following directions:
i. The claim of the abkari workers and dependents of abkari workers for rehabilitation based on the government order dated 20/2/2002 are rejected in the light of the observations at para.10 of this judgment.

```
## **-:14:-**
ii. The claim of the dependents of the abkari workers who died prior to 7/8/2004 and who were minors at the time of inviting the applications by the Chief Welfare Fund Inspector is directed to be considered by the Government, if such claim is made within reasonable time on attaining the age of majority. The Government shall consider their claim within four months.
iii. The claim of the dependents of abkari workers who died after 7/8/2004 are rejected in the light of the discussions at paras.13 to 19 of this judgment. No costs.
