5. In all these writ petitions except Writ
Petition No. 8546 of 2021, the candidates are from
General category. In Writ Petition No. 8546 of
2021 the petitioner is appointed from O.B.C.
category.
6. The backlog exists. The learned Advocate for
the institution submits that the institution would
file affidavit with the Education Officer that the
management would fill in the backlog of reserved
category candidates. The Education Officer is
required to consider the existence of vacant posts
from General / O.B.C. category and of course the
other aspects such as the seniority, qualification
also has to be considered. The Education Officer
it appears has not considered whether the posts of
General category are vacant. There are 17 O.B.C.
posts vacant in view of that, the petitioner in
Writ Petition No. 8546 of 2021 could have been
considered.
7. The Government Resolution dated 01.04.2021
also would not come in the way of the petitioners
because all these petitioners have rendered more
than 5 years of service on the unaided posts and
are transferred to the aided post before the
operation of Government Resolution dated
01.04.2021.
6 wp 8542.2021+
8. In light of the above, the impugned orders
are quashed and set aside.
9. The Education Officer shall consider that if
the posts are vacant in the General category then
those petitioners appointed and transferred to the
aided posts on General category should be
considered. The same would also apply for a
candidate of O.B.C. category. The Education
Officer shall consider the Judgment of this Court
in Writ Petition No. 1493 of 2018 with connected
writ petitions dated 04.07.2019.
10. The said exercise shall be done preferably
within a period of four (04) months.
11. Writ Petitions are accordingly disposed of.
No costs.
