JUDGMENT
O.P.(CAT) Nos.156 &183 of 2015, 31 of 2016 and 68 of 2017
Dated this the 13th day of November 2019
K.VINOD CHANDRAN, J.
A classic case where litigation, initiated by persons un-qualified as per the notification, has prevented the administration from carrying out appointments to the post of Child Development Project Officer ('CDPO' for short) for more than six years. The ground on which the challenge was raised before the Tribunal was of the administrator having made a relaxation in the original notification in violation of the clear Recruitment Rules; which we find was, in fact in favour of all the petitioners herein. The Tribunal had rejected their contentions and the petitioners are before us challenging the order of the Tribunal.
O.P.(CAT) Nos.156 &183/15, 31/16 and 68 of 2017
-8-
CDPO, the essential and desirable qualifications are as
hereunder:
“ Essential:
1) Degree in anyone of the Social Science subject namely Sociology, Child Welfare, Social Work, Economics, Anthropology, Home Science, Nutrition or any allied field of a recognised University.
2) One year experience in Child Welfare Programme, Social Work preferably in a Social Welfare Institution/ICDS recognised by Government.
Desirable : *Postgraduate Diploma/Degree in Social Work etc. Knowledge of local languages/dialects of Lakshadweep Islands to a minimum SSLC level.”
event of necessity or expediency by an order in writing. The provision for such relaxation is confined to any class or category of persons as distinguished from individuals. The power has been conferred on the Administrator who himself has brought out the Recruitment Rules. But, however, does
O.P.(CAT) Nos.156 &183/15, 31/16 and 68 of 2017
-9-
not permit any relaxation of Rule 4 which deals with disqualifications as such.
O.P.(CAT) Nos.156 &183/15, 31/16 and 68 of 2017
notice the first notification from O.P.(CAT) No.183 of 2015
which is produced as Annexure A1 dated 20.6.2012. This provided for the essential qualifications as in the Recruitment Rules. A checklist is also said to have been published, the full text of which is produced in that O.A as Annexure A6. It is after the checklist that there was a further notification at Annexure A16 dated 28.11.2013, wherein it is seen that the essential qualification does not provide for any experience in Child Welfare or Social Welfare Programmes.
O.P.(CAT) Nos.156 &183/15, 31/16 and 68 of 2017
experience prescribed in the Recruitment Rules of CDPO”. Considering the specific contention raised by the learned
CGC, we looked at each of the petitioners' experience.
O.P.(CAT) Nos.156 &183/15, 31/16 and 68 of 2017
-12-
produced certificates as seen from Annexures A4 and A5 produced in their O.As. They certify the first applicant having worked as a Co-operative Education Instructor and the second applicant as a Lady Mobilizer. The learned Counsel Smt.Molty Majeed has referred again to the further certificates issued by the very same officer at Annexure A14
and 15. Therein, it has been further certified that both the applicants were involved in activities connected with Cooperative Development, Women and Child Welfare and Social Development; none of which, according to us, qualify as the essential experience as per the Rules.
O.P.(CAT) Nos.156 &183/15, 31/16 and 68 of 2017
-13-
filed by the applicants were considered and favourably allowed. It is pointed out that the applicants figure in the checklist as 91 and 92. In the checklist, in the remarks column, it was noticed that they did not satisfy the experience. However, as submitted by the learned counsel, we see from Page 44 of the Office Note that the Administration had considered their objections and noticed that the experience could be considered as coming within the notification and they could be treated as qualified. We are not bound by such opinion expressed by the Administration and have to go by what was initially prescribed in the first notification as was available in the recruitment rules. Also the Administration at its higher echelons had later found that none of the applicants qualify in the matter of experience; and hence the relaxation.
O.P.(CAT) Nos.156 &183/15, 31/16 and 68 of 2017
-14-
certificate is produced at Annexure A4. The Chief Executive Officer of the District Panchayat, UT of Lakshadweep has certified that the applicant is working under the District Panchayat with effect from the forenoon of 15.6.2011 and has completed one year service as Social Education Organizer. It is not clear as to whether it was under a programme or the appointment was appointed to a post or an a temporary or a regular measure. In any event this certificate definitely required further verification at the hands of the Administration, as to whether it qualifies as the specific experience provided. The Administration found, eventually, in the negative. The applicant in this original petition appears at 25 in the checklist.
O.P.(CAT) Nos.156 &183/15, 31/16 and 68 of 2017
-15-
that the certificate is Annexure A2 which speaks of the experience in voluntary social welfare activities in the year 2006-2007, when the applicant admittedly was a minor. The essential qualification of Graduation as seen from Annexure A2 was also one subsequently obtained in the year 2012. The applicant in this original petition appears at serial No.86 in the checklist.
O.P.(CAT) Nos.156 &183/15, 31/16 and 68 of 2017
-16-
and the other persons who applied. The fresh notification was necessitated to enable all who did not have the experience to apply. Otherwise a relaxation confined to the applicants under the first notification would have been set aside for reason of the persons appointed being not persons who have the essential qualification as per the notification itself, (Bank of India, Kochi v. Aarya K.Babu [(2019) 8 SCC
587]) . Hence, after the relaxation, it was required that there be a further notification under which all persons who do not have the experience, but have the essential qualification can apply.
O.P.(CAT) Nos.156 &183/15, 31/16 and 68 of 2017
where there was a relaxation attempted, by the Administration as distinguished from the Administrator. Here we see that the Administrator's order is specifically referred to in the second notification which was published as per the relaxation. On such relaxation being applied the earlier selection was shelved and a new notification brought out enabling all who have the essential qualification sans the experience to apply. We also see from the file noting produced in O.P (KAT) No. 183 of 2015 that there was a proposal to re-notify which has been approved, obviously by the Administrator as specified in the re-notification. The decision cited has no application to the facts here.
O.P.(CAT) Nos.156 &183/15, 31/16 and 68 of 2017
their action in challenging a relaxation which also inured in their favour. We decline such prayer. We leave the administration to decide on the fresh selection to be now conducted.
We, hence, find no reason to interfere with the orders of the Tribunal and dismiss the original petitions. No order as
to costs.
