JUDGMENT
These writ petitions have been filed by persons with disabilities under the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act, 2016, (for short, "the RPwD Act") challenging the rejection of their claim for service-
related benefits, including promotional prospects, seniority, probation etc.
2. When these writ petitions came up for admission, the learned Special Government Pleader raised a preliminary objection that since the issues raised in these writ petitions pertain to service conditions of government employees, the petitioners ought to have approached the Kerala Administrative Tribunal (KAT), and therefore, the writ petitions are not maintainable. In view of the contention as above, the writ petitions were posted for hearing the question of maintainability.
3. Heard Sri.Liju.V.Stephen, the learned counsel for the petitioners and Sri.Antony Mukkath, the learned Special Government Pleader.
4. The learned counsel for the petitioners submitted that the petitioners are differently-abled persons and, though they are in government service, they have approached this Court by filing the 2025:KER:92754 WP(C) Nos.40953, 31098 & 31665 of 2025 ..10..
present writ petitions for violation of their rights under Article 14 of the Constitution of India; and hence, the writ petitions are maintainable. It is further submitted that the petitioners were initially employed on temporary basis in different establishments under the Government of Kerala through the Employment Exchange, and thereafter, they were regularized on the basis of Ext.P1 Government Order, GO(P) No.40/13/SJD dated 18.05.2013. The grievance of the petitioners is that they have been denied all career-advancement benefits incidental to service that are otherwise extended to regular employees. According to the petitioners, such denial is per se contrary to the statutory mandate of the Persons with Disabilities (Equal Opportunities, Protection of Rights and Full Participation) Act, 1995.
5. It was further submitted that after regularisation, they were directed to be appointed in supernumerary posts under various Government establishments. However, in Ext.P1, it was stipulated that upon the retirement of such appointees, the respective posts would stand abolished. Hence, it became incumbent upon the Government to lay down service conditions for such appointees, including matters relating to seniority, probation, promotion, and other consequential benefits. Accordingly, GO(P) No.01/16/SJD dated 2025:KER:92754 WP(C) Nos.40953, 31098 & 31665 of 2025 ..11..
03.02.2016 [Ext.P2 in WP(C) Nos.31098/2025 & 31665/2025 and Ext.P3 in WP(C) No.409653/2025] has been issued, laying down the service conditions for the said appointees with regard to their service conditions such as seniority, probation, promotion etc. Thereafter, similarly situated persons challenged GO(P) No.01/16/SJD dated 03.02.2016, which finally reached before the apex court; and the apex court in Maya P.C. & others v. State of Kerala & another [2025 INSC 773] has found that the said order is discriminatory, irrational and violative of Article 14 of the Constitution of India. Therefore, according to the learned counsel for the petitioners, since the order, which is the subject matter of challenge in these writ petitions, is found by the apex court to be violative of Article 14 of the Constitution of India, the petitioners have all right to approach this Court under Article 226 of the Constitution of India.
6. The learned Special Government Pleader, on the other hand, submitted that the writ petitions are purely service matters of State employees and since there is an alternative remedy available under the Administrative Tribunals Act, 1985, their remedy is to approach the KAT and not this Court. Relying on the judgment of the apex court in Leelavathi N. v. State of Karnataka [2025 KHC OnLine 6878], the learned Government Pleader submitted that the High Court 2025:KER:92754 WP(C) Nos.40953, 31098 & 31665 of 2025 ..12..
should not entertain writ petitions under Article 226 bypassing statutory remedies and hence, the writ petitions are not maintainable.
7. I have considered the rival contentions raised on both sides.
The Administrative Tribunals Act, 1985, is an Act to provide for the adjudication or trial by Administrative Tribunals of disputes and complaints with respect to recruitment and conditions of service of persons appointed to public services and posts in connection with the affairs of the Union or of any State or of any local or other authority within the territory of India or under the control of the Government of India in pursuance of Article 323 A of the Constitution. It is also constituted for matters connected therewith or incidental thereto.
Administrative Tribunals are established to exercise the jurisdiction of powers and authority conferred on the Administrative Tribunal for the State by or under the Act. Article 323A of the Constitution of India inserted by the 42nd amendment with effect from 03.01.1977 empowers the parliament to provide, by law, for adjudication of disputes relating to recruitment and conditions of service of persons appointed to public services and posts under the Union or the State.
Pursuant thereto, the Administrative Tribunals Act, 1985, was enacted providing for establishment of Central and State Administrative Tribunal as the forum of first instance in service 2025:KER:92754 WP(C) Nos.40953, 31098 & 31665 of 2025 ..13..
matters. The High Court's writ jurisdiction under Article 226/227 remains intact, but the settled principle is that the parties must approach the tribunal, with the High Court exercising judicial review thereafter as held in L.Chandra Kumar v. Union of India [1997 KHC 503]. The object of the Administrative Tribunals Act is to reduce the mounting service litigation burden on the High Court to secure a speedy and specialized adjudication of service disputes and to ensure uniformity and efficiency in the redressal of grievances of public servants. Similarly, the object of the RPwD Act is to fulfill India's obligations under the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD); and the RPwD Act guarantees quality and non-discrimination for people with disabilities by providing reservations and promotional benefits in employment, and ensuring "reasonable accommodation" in public services. Though it is a beneficial legislation, it does not oust or override the jurisdictional framework of the service tribunals. The petitioners herein, being government employees, must raise their claims before the appropriate forum. They can invoke the rights under the RPwD Act in support of their claims. But, such claims must be raised before the KAT as the tribunal is the forum of first instance. As per the Kerala Administrative Tribunals Act, all service-related disputes including 2025:KER:92754 WP(C) Nos.40953, 31098 & 31665 of 2025 ..14..
issues relating to time-bound higher grades and pay fixation of Persons with Disabilities employees are required to be adjudicated by the KAT as the court of first instance, and the jurisdiction of the High Court arises only thereafter.
8. The apex court in Leelavathi (supra), has held that High Court should not entertain writ petitions under Article 226 of the Constitution bypassing statutory dispensation. The tribunals created under the Administrative Tribunals Act function as the court of first instance in service matters. Certain exceptions under which a petition under Article 226 of the Constitution can be entertained despite the availability of an alternative remedy have been enumerated in PHR Invent Educational Society v. UCO Bank and others [(2024) 6 SCC 579], which, as extracted in Leelavathi (supra), read as follows:
"37. It could thus clearly be seen that the Court has carved out certain exceptions when a petition under Art.226 of the Constitution could be entertained in spite of availability of an alternative remedy. Some of them are thus:
(i) where the statutory authority has not acted in accordance with the provisions of the enactment in question;
(ii) it has acted in defiance of the fundamental principles of judicial procedure;
(iii) it has resorted to invoke the provisions which are repealed; and
(iv) when an order has been passed in total violation of the principles of natural justice.
38. It has however been clarified that the High Court will not 2025:KER:92754 WP(C) Nos.40953, 31098 & 31665 of 2025 ..15..
entertain a petition under Art.226 of the Constitution if an effective alternative remedy is available to the aggrieved person or the statute under which the action complained of has been taken itself contains a mechanism for redressal of grievance."
9. Hence, where there is an efficacious alternate remedy available, the High Court cannot entertain any matter squarely falling within the domain of tribunals . The instances referred to in PHR Invent Educational Society (supra), are instances of ultra vires or illegal exercise of power by the statutory authority, violation of the principles of natural justice, or where the vires of the parent legislation itself is under challenge. Therefore, these are the exemptions that have been carved out and reiterated by the apex court. Admittedly, the facts of the present case do not fall under any of these exemptions so as to warrant the maintainability of the writ petitions before the High Court. The prayers in these writ petitions purely come under service conditions. Hence, I hold that the writ petitions are not maintainable and the petitioners have to agitate their claims before the Kerala Administrative Tribunal.
Accordingly, the writ petitions are dismissed as not maintainable.
