Consequential prayers are also sought for. 2.W.P.(C).No.30732 of 2021 is filed by respondents 4 and 6 in W.P. (C).No.11813 of 2021 challenging the appointments of respondents 3 and 4, who are the petitioners in the first of the captioned writ petitions and to declare that the post of Officers (Production and Maintenance) is different from the post of Plant Engineer and as such, the services of respondents 3 and 4 cannot be regularised. - 3.Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner, the learned Government Pleader, the learned counsel appearing for W.P.(C).Nos. 11813 & 30732/2021 6 respondents 2 and 3 and the learned counsel for the contesting party respondents in W.P.(C).No. 11813 of 2021. 4. The parties and documents are referred to in this judgment as arrayed and produced in W.P.(C).No.11813 of 2021, unless otherwise specified. 5.The petitioners in W.P.(C).No.11813 of 2021 has been appointed as Plant Engineers (Mechanical and Instrumentation) in the 2[nd] respondent company vide Exhibits P5 and P6 orders. The appointment was after conduct of due selection pursuant to Exhibit P1 notification dated 12.06.2013. The notification stated that the appointment would be on contract basis, but was likely to be made permanent on arising of permanent vacancies. It is contended that by Exhibit P8 minutes, the Board of Directors of the Kerala Feeds had recommended the regularisation of the petitioners, since regular posts had been sanctioned in the company. By Exhibit P9 judgment of this Court, the claim of a person included in the select list for contract appointment in one of the permanent vacancies was directed to be considered. However, the said claim was rejected. It is stated that the post of Plant Engineer was re-designated as Officer (Production and Maintenance) vide Exhibit P10 Government Order. By Exhibit W.P.(C).Nos. 11813 & 30732/2021 7 P12 Government Order dated 26.4.2018, 45 new posts were created in the Cattle Feed Factory of the 2[nd] respondent at Chemancherry, Kozhikode including two posts of Officer (Production and Maintenance). However, without regularising the petitioners as held out in their appointment orders, Exhibit P13 notification was issued on 28.02.2019 for appointment to various posts, including that of Officer (Production and Maintenance). The petitioners had already approached the Government seeking regularisation of their appointments against the post of Officer (Production and Maintenance). By Exhibit P14 judgment the said claim was directed to be considered. The petitioners participated in the selection process subject to their contentions and claim for regularisation. When the selection was proceeded with without considering the claim for regularisation, the petitioners preferred W.P.(C).No. 25329 of 2019. It is submitted that in the meanwhile by Exhibit P17, the Board of Directors had again decided to consider the claim of the petitioners against the two vacancies of Officer (Production and Maintenance). 6.The Government, thereafter, issued Exhibit P18 communication dated 30.09.2019 rejecting the claim for regularisation, in the W.P.(C).Nos. 11813 & 30732/2021 8 light of the judgment of the Apex Court in **Secretary, State of Karnataka and others** v. **Umadevi (3) and others** [2006 (4) SCC 1]. W.P.(C).No.25239 of 2019 was amended challenging the said Government Order as well. Exhibit P21 interim order was rendered on 27.01.2020 directing respondents not to fill up the vacancies of Officer (Production and Maintenance) without getting orders from this Court. In the meanwhile Exhibit P22 ranked list was prepared and respondents 4 to 6 were given appointment. The said appointment was withdrawn pursuant to notice being issued in Contempt of Court Case No.1931 of 2020. Thereafter, by Exhibit P29 judgment dated 20.01.2021, this Court set aside Exhibits P18 and P19 orders and directed the Government to reconsider the request of the petitioners for regularisation taking specific note of the contention that they had been appointed on contractual basis pursuant to a notification which specified that their appointments were liable to be regularised when permanent vacancies arise. Though hearing was conducted on 23.3.2021, it is submitted that Exhibit P31 order has now been passed rejecting the request on the very same grounds which were raised in Exhibits P18 and P19. The said order is under challenge on the ground that it is illegal and perverse. The petitioners seek orders of regularisation of their W.P.(C).Nos. 11813 & 30732/2021 9 services in accordance with their appointment orders and the notification based on which they were appointed. - 7.A counter affidavit has been placed on record by the 1[st] respondent stating that the contentions of the petitioners had been considered and it was found that the petitioners, who had participated in the 2[nd] selection process, got only rank No.163 and 268 in the selection and that therefore they are not entitled to regularisation since their appointment was only on a contractual basis. - 8.Respondents 2 and 3 have also placed a detailed counter affidavit on record. It is contended that the appointments of the petitioners was purely contractual in nature and that it was by Exhibit R2(a) decision of the Board of Directors of the Company dated 14.5.2013 that the appointment was made. It is submitted that clause (6) of the appointment order specifically stated that the contract will not confer any claim for regular employment in the company. It is stated that the tenure of the petitioners contract was extended and later decision was taken by the Board of Directors on 9.01.2016 to advertise 9 posts of Officers, including the post of Officer (Production and Maintenance) subject to approval of the Government. It is stated that the petitioners had W.P.(C).Nos. 11813 & 30732/2021 10 applied pursuant to Exhibit R2(f) notification dated 20.01.2016. The Board had subsequently decided to fill up the anticipated posts only on the minutes of the High Level Committee containing the recommendations for sanctioning of the posts. Exhibit R2(h) decision of the Board of Directors dated 25.02.2016 and Exhibit R2(i) Government letter were also placed on record. 9. It is stated that the Board was reconstituted in December, 2016 and when the posts were sanctioned vide Government Order dated 26.4.2018, the newly constituted Board considered the matter and decided to notify the posts based on which due notifications were issued. The selection was conducted by the Centre for Managment Development, Thiruvananthapuram and Exhibit R2(k) decision was taken to consider the petitioners alongwith the other candidates who applied to the post. It is submitted that the petitioners had obtained only 163[rd] and 268[th] rank in the selection and did not have the necessary marks for being called for the interview, which was conducted on 5.9.2020 and 8.9.2020. It is stated that a final ranked list was prepared and pursuant to the orders of the Government rejecting the claim of the petitioners, the petitioners were accordingly informed by the company. It is further contended that the petitioners, who W.P.(C).Nos. 11813 & 30732/2021 11 were contractual employees have no manner of right to continue and that the earlier decisions taken to consider their claim before the posts were sanctioned have no application and that the company could not have taken any such decision to regularise the contractual appointees since that is not a method of appointment to regular posts. It is submitted that since the petitioners did not obtain the required marks for appointment against the three vacancies the respondents had taken steps to make appointments from the ranked list. It is contended that a mention in the notification and the appointment order that the contract appointments are liable to be made permanent when vacancies arise cannot be relied upon by the petitioners, who are admittedly contract appointees, who have no manner of right to insist that they should be appointed in the regular posts which were not in existence as on the date when they were engaged on contract basis. - 10.The contentions of the contesting party respondents 4 and 6 as evident from the pleadings in their writ petition and the counter affidavit filed are that the reliefs sought for by the writ petitioners were previously raised in W.P.(C) No.25329/19 which culminated in Exhibit P29 judgment and that the petitioners were found W.P.(C).Nos. 11813 & 30732/2021 12 ineligible to be regularised in accordance with the dictum laid down in **Umadevi's case.** It is contended that the appointment of the 1[st] petitioner was itself illegal and that no right can be claimed by the 1[st] petitioner based on such illegal appointment. It is submitted that the post of Officer (Production and Maintenance) is different from that of Plant Engineer and that there is a clear change in the nature of work discharged. Hence, the petitioners cannot claim to be aggrieved by the appointments of respondents 4 and 6. It is also contended that, it is to be construed that the petitioners are estopped from raising their claim for regularisation since they applied for the selection process in 2016 and 2019. It is further contended that respondents 4 and 6 have been appointed to the duly sanctioned post only after securing top ranks and that the petitioners were unable to figure in the said ranked list and now their attempt is to seek regularisation illegally. - 11.The 5[th] respondent has also placed a counter affidavit on record raising similar contentions. - 12.I have considered the contentions advanced. It is not in dispute before me that the initial notification pursuant to which the W.P.(C).Nos. 11813 & 30732/2021 13 petitioners were appointed on contract basis held out an assurance that appointees would be regularised against vacancies arising in future. The appointment orders also contained such assurance. This Court in Exhibit P29 judgment had specifically considered the issues raised and had held that the rejection of the petitioners' claim for regularisation on the strength of **Umadevi's case** is completely unwarranted in the factual situation. Exhibit P29 judgment has become final and no appeal was filed either by the Government or the Company against the same. The impugned order of the Government and decision of the company were set aside and the matter was directed to be reconsidered, specifically taking note of the contention that the petitioners' appointment on contract basis, was pursuant to Exhibit P2 notification which specified that their appointments were liable to be regularised when permanent vacancies arise. In Exhibit P31, the reason stated for rejection of the claim of the petitioners is that regularisation of contract appointments is not a method of appointment and that the petitioners were not appointed in sanctioned posts. The reasoning in Exhibit P18 order of the Government which had been set aside by this Court is reiterated in Exhibit P31. The only additional aspect which is mentioned in the order is that the 1[st] petitioner had acquired Rank No.268 and W.P.(C).Nos. 11813 & 30732/2021 14 the 2[nd] petitioner Rank No.163 in the selection conducted pursuant to the later notification. - 13.Having considered the contentions advanced, I am of the opinion that the said findings in Exhibit P31 are completely untenable in the face of Exhibit P29 judgment, as also the earlier decisions of the respondent company as are evident from Exhibit R2(h), decision of the Board of Directors dated 25.02.2016. It is an admitted fact that the Government had sanctioned the posts including the post of Officer (Production and Maintenance) by order dated 26.4.2018. Even thereafter, Exhibit R2(k) proceedings were minuted by the Board of Directors by which the claims of the petitioners were to be considered in the selection. - 14.In the above factual situation, the contention raised by the respondents that the appointment of the petitioners were purely on contract basis and could not be regularised is completely untenable. It is to be noticed that the regular appointments to the newly sanctioned posts in the Company are also made in the same manner as was done in the case of the petitioners. There is no contention that there was any insufficiency in the selection conducted when the petitioners were initially appointed. There is W.P.(C).Nos. 11813 & 30732/2021 15 no separate or better selection process adopted when regular appointments are effected. The only contention now raised by the Company is that the appointment of the petitioners in W.P.(C) No.11813/2021 was not made against the sanctioned posts. Even if that be so, all the persons who had participated in the selection pursuant to the notification dated 14.6.2013 were specifically made aware that though the appointments were on contract basis, such appointments were likely to be made permanent on the arising of permanent vacancies. This makes the case distinct from normal contract appointments made without regular vacancies being sanctioned in the Company. Since this issue was directed to be considered specifically in the light of the notification and the appointment orders providing that the petitioners' services will be regularised as and when vacancies arise, the issue requires a reconsideration at the hands of the Government. 15.W.P.(C).No.11813 of 2021 is allowed. Exhibit P31 is set aside. There will be a direction to the 1[st] respondent to reconsider the issue specifically as directed in Exhibit P29 judgment within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. The petitioners as well as the contesting party W.P.(C).Nos. 11813 & 30732/2021 16 respondents shall be heard before orders are passed. Status quo as on today shall be maintained till then. 16.The reliefs, as sought for in W.P.(C).No.30732 of 2021 cannot be granted. However, the petitioners in this writ petition can also be heard while orders are being passed by the Government, as directed in W.P.(C).No.11813 of 2021. **==> picture [25 x 12] intentionally omitted <==** **Anu Sivaraman, Judge** sj W.P.(C).Nos. 11813 & 30732/2021 17 ## **APPENDIX OF WP(C) 11813/2021** |PETITIONER EXHIBITS|| |---|---| |Exhibit P1|TRUE COPY OF THE NOTIFICATION IN THE| ||'MATHRUBHUMI' DAILY DATED 12.06.2013.| |Exhibit P2|TRUE COPY OF THE NOTIFICATION DATED| ||14.06.2013 PUBLISHED ON THE OFFICIAL| ||WEBSITE OF THE KERALA FEEDS LTD.| |Exhibit P3|TRUE COPY OF THE MINUTES OF THE INTERVIEW| ||HELD ON 20TH AUGUST 2013 FOR THE SELECTION| ||OF PLANT ENGINEER IN MECHANICAL.| |Exhibit P4|TRUE COPY OF THE MINUTES OF THE INTERVIEW| ||HELD ON 20TH AUGUST 2013 FOR THE SELECTION| ||OF PLANT ENGINEER-INSTRUMENTATION.| |Exhibit P5|TRUE COPY OF THE ORDER| ||NO.KFL/2112/13/C/938/14 DATED 22.02.2014| ||OF THE 3RD RESPONDENT TO THE 1ST| ||PETITIONER.| |Exhibit P6|TRUE COPY OF THE ORDER| ||NO.KFL/2112/13/6869/13 DATED 11.09.2013 OF| ||THE 3RD RESPONDENT TO THE 2ND PETITIONER.| |Exhibit P7|TRUE COPY OF THE ORDER OF APPOINTMENT OF| ||THE 1ST PETITIONER TO THE POST OF SENIOR| ||GRADE III.| |Exhibit P8|TRUE COPY OF THE MINUTES OF THE BOARD| ||MEETING HELD ON 22.05.2016 OF THE BOARD OF| ||DIRECTORS OF THE KERALA FEEDS LTD.| |Exhibit P9|TRUE COPY OF THE JUDGMENT DATED 06.04.2017| ||IN W.P(C)NO.23839/2016 OF THIS HON'BLE| ||COURT.| |Exhibit P10|TRUE COPY OF THE G.O(MS)NO.222/14/AD DATED| ||01.10.2014.| W.P.(C).Nos. 11813 & 30732/2021 18 |Exhibit P11|TRUE COPY OF THE OFFICE ORDER| |---|---| ||NO.KFL/439/99/L-488/18 DATED 13.03.2018 OF| ||THE 3RD RESPONDENT.| |Exhibit P12|TRUE COPY OF THE G.O.(MS)NO.13/2018/AHD| ||DATED 26.04.2018.| |Exhibit P13|TRUE COPY OF THE NOTIFICATION DATED| ||28.02.2019 ISSUED BY THE KERALA FEEDS LTD.| |Exhibit P14|TRUE COPY OF THE JUDGMENT DATED 07.05.2019| ||IN W.P(C)NO.13100/2019 OF THIS HON'BLE| ||COURT.| |Exhibit P15|TRUE COPY OF THE HALL TICKET ISSUED TO THE| ||1ST PETITIONER BY THE KERALA FEEDS LTD.
