       THESE APPEALS BEING HEARD AND RESERVED, COMING
ON     FOR   PRONOUNCEMENT     OF   JUDGMENT,   THIS   DAY,
M.G.S.KAMAL J., DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING:
                                  108




                           JUDGMENT

These writ appeals arise out of order dated

30.01.2023 passed in W.P.No.23752/2022(GM-CC) filed by

private respondents/petitioners by which learned Single

Judge of this Court while allowing the said writ petition has

quashed the provisional selection list dated:18.11.2022

insofar it relates to the petitioners being brought under the

General Merit category and has directed the petitioners to

be treated as belonging to category to which they applied

for, qua the caste and income certificates appended to the

applications. Further liberty has been reserved to the

State to regulate its procedure by continuing recruitment

and taking it to its logical conclusion.

2. Facts leading up to filing of these writ appeals

briefly stated are;

By notification dated 21.03.2022 issued district

wise, applications were invited from the eligible candidates

for recruitment to the post of Graduate Primary School

Teachers from sixth standard to eight standard classes in

the Government and Aided institutions. Competitive

examinations were held on 21.05.2022 and 22.05.2022

and results were announced on 17.08.2022. A provisional

list was published on 18.11.2022. Petitioners being

aggrieved by exclusion of their names in the provisional

list, filed the above writ petition seeking following reliefs;

(a) Issue a writ in the nature of certiorari or any other appropriate writ order or direction quashing the provisional selection list dated 18.11.2022 by respondent No.3-(Annexure -A to A18).

(b) Issue a writ in the nature of mandamus or any other appropriate writ order or direction directing respondent No.3 to consider the case of the petitioner Nos.1 to 15 under category 2A, petitioner No.16 under category 2B, petitioner Nos.17 and 18 under category 3A and petitioner Nos. 19 to 21 under category 3B in the final selection list, taking note of the caste certificate issued by the Tahsildar without insisting on the income certificate from the husband of the petitioner (B to B20).

(c) Issue a writ in the nature of mandamus or any other appropriate writ, order or direction declaring that the action of the respondents herein changing the category of the petitioners from OBC to GM without intimation for the reason they and income certificate in the name of the husband of the petitioners without considering the caste and income certificates in the name of the father of the petitioners is highly arbitrary, illegal and without authority of law.

(d) Pass such other and further orders as may be necessary in the interest of justice.

3. It is the contention of the petitioners that they

belong to OBC category having completed their B.Ed., and

D.Ed., and being eligible had applied for the post of

teachers in respective subjects under reservation category

of OBC through online application and had also submitted

necessary documents as sought for. That after accepting

the applications the concerned DDPI had invited the

petitioners to appear for written and descriptive

examination wherein the petitioners secured good score

and ranking and were thus qualified for 1:2 document

verification. It is further contended that in the notification

dated 21.03.2022 calling for recruitment for Graduate

Primary School Teachers there was no specification

provided with respect to production of income and caste

certificate of the husband of the petitioners. That on

verification of the documents furnished by the petitioners,

for some of the petitioners OBC categories was changed to

General Merit and for some of the petitioners documents

were returned back with no intimation with regard to

defect in documents or otherwise. That the concerned

DDPI had rejected the caste cum income certificate of

some of the candidates on the basis that though they were

married, the certificates which they produced had been

issued in the name of their father. That some of the

candidates had approached this Court by filing the writ

petition in W.P.No.22429/2022 and that this Court by order

dated 15.11.2022 and on 18.11.2022 had directed that the

names of the petitioners enlisted therein would be

considered under the different categories of OBC and that

in spite of the same, the provisional list had been issued

without complying with the directions of this Court. That in

the said provisional list, names of the petitioners were not

included even though they had good ranking and the

candidates who are below the petitioners were selected.

That on an enquiry the petitioners were informed that the

DDPI had rejected their income and caste certificates as

they had obtained the same in their father's name. Being

aggrieved by the same, the above writ petition is filed

seeking the relief as extracted hereinabove.

4. The said writ petition was resisted by the state

contending inter alia that the petition as presented was not

maintainable and that the petitioners had to approach the

Administrative Tribunal in terms of Section 15 of the

Administrative Tribunals Act, 1985. That the authorities

had rightly considered the documents furnished by the

petitioners in accordance with the norms and policies of the

Government which prescribed that in the case of married

women candidates income of the spouse shall be taken

into consideration and that it cannot be speculated that the

spouse after the marriage is dependent on the parents.

That the selection policy adopted by the respondent

authorities is in accordance with the norms laid down by

DPAR. That out of total 5978 married women candidates

who had submitted income certificates of their spouse

along with the application have been considered for

verification in the ratio of 1:2. Among them 3700

meritorious married women candidates have been selected

for provisional list of 1:1. That the married women

candidates who had submitted income certificate of the

parents have been in fact short listed in the ratio of 1:1 in

the provisional list by bringing such candidates under

general merit category. That in the application a

declaration had been provided that incorrect and

incomplete application would be rejected and accordingly

authorities on verification of the records have rejected the

applications of the married women candidates who had

furnished the income certificates of their parents instead of

their spouse. That the State Government has issued

Government order dated 19.09.1985 and 12.12.1986

regarding determination of income of the married women

and the rejection of the candidature is on account of the

defective certificates and the same is neither arbitrary or

illegal. Hence, sought for dismissal of the petition.

5. Learned Single Judge on hearing respective

counsel for the parties framed following points for

consideration:

(i) Whether writ petitions challenging the action of interpretation of caste and income certificates by selecting authority-DDPI would be maintainable?

(ii) Whether the caste and income of the husband of the female applicant should be taken into consideration or the caste and income of the parents?

(iii) Whether the selecting authority-DDPI would get jurisdiction to interpret caste and income certificates issued by competent authorities?

6. While answering the issue No.(i) on maintainability

learned Single Judge though has taken note of the

Judgments of the Apex Court in the case of L.Chandra

Kumar Vs. Union of India reported in (1997)3 SCC 261

regarding jurisdiction of the Tribunal in the matters relating

to process of recruitment to the service under the Services

of the State, however relying upon the Judgment of the

Apex Court in the case of T.K.Rangarajan Vs State of

Tamil Nadu and others reported in (2003) 6 SCC 581

has held that in the fact situation of the matter writ

petition is entertainable. While answering the issue No.(ii)

learned Single Judge relying upon the Judgment of the

Apex Court in the case of Surinder Singh Vs Punjab

State Electricity Board and others reported in (2014)

15 SCC 767 and Sunitha Singh Vs State of UP reported

in (2018) 2 SCC 493 and State of Karnataka Vs

Smt.Yoeshwari and anr in W.P.No.24115/2018 and

connected cases decided on 19.11.2018, came to the

conclusion that the decision of the selecting authority-DDPI

in interpreting and holding the caste and income of the

husband is to be taken into consideration is contrary to law

and directed the respondent Authorities to consider the

applications of the petitioners on the basis of caste and

income certificates of the parents and not of their spouse

and as belonging to their respective categories against

which they have applied for. While answering issue No.(iii)

relying upon the Judgment of the Division Bench of this

Court in the case of Executive Director, Karnataka

Examination Authority and Selection Authority,

Malleswaram, Bangalore Vs State of Karnataka and

anr reported in (2018) SCC Online Karnataka 4112

held that the Selecting Authority-DDPI has no jurisdiction

to interpret the caste certificate issued by the competent

authority. Thus, having held as above, learned Single

Judge quashed the provisional selection list so far as it

relates to the petitioners being brought under General

Merit Category and issued further directions as noted

above. Being aggrieved by the same, the present writ

appeals are filed.

7. These appeals are filed by the appellants who are

not parties to the writ petition. The principal grounds

urged amongst other by the appellants in these writ

appeals are:

(a) Whether the writ petition is maintainable in view of the bar contained under Article 323A of the Constitution of India and in view of Section 15 of the Act, 1985;

(b) Whether a validly issued income certificate in terms of Government Order dated 12.12.1986, which order had been passed by the State in exercise of its power conferred under Article 16(4) of Constitution of India laying down classification of backward classes for the purpose of reservation of appointments and posts defining eligibility for reservation, could have been invalidated by the learned

Single Judge without there being challenge to the said Government Order;

(c) Whether without impleading the appellants who are the selected candidates, as party/respondents to the writ petition, the provisional list could have been set aside;

8. Before adverting to the grounds urged in these

appeals, it is necessary to note that an identical writ

petition was filed in W.P.No.200032/2023 before

Kalaburagi Bench of this Court and the same was

dismissed by order dated:12.01.2023 as not maintainable

reserving liberty to the petitioner therein to approach the

Tribunal constituted under Act, 1985. Similarly, writ

petitions filed before the Principal Bench of this court in

W.P.No.5009/2023 C/w W.P.Nos.5820/2023, 5833/2023,

5879/2023, 5916/2023, 5926/2023, 5987/2023,

6237/2023, 6258/2023 and 6640/2023 were also disposed

of as not maintainable with liberty to the petitioners

therein to urge all grounds contended in the petitions

before the Tribunal.

9. Sri.Lakshminarayana, learned Senior counsel

appearing for the appellants in W.A.No.305/2023

reiterating the grounds urged in the memorandum of

appeal and the contents of written synopsis submitted

that;

(a) That the Graduate Primary School Teachers

post is a civil post governed by Karnataka Education

Department Services (Department of Public Instructions)

(Recruitment) Rules, 1967, as such the said recruitment

would fall within the provisions of Rules framed under

Section 8 of the Karnataka State Civil Services Act, 1978

and the service as defined thereunder comes within the

conditions of service specified under Article 323A(1)(c)

of the Constitution of India.

(b) That in furtherance to the provisions of Article

323(A)(1) of the Constitution of India, the Parliament

enacted the Administrative Tribunals Act, 1985. Section

15 of the said Act, 1985 conferred the jurisdiction on the

Administrative Tribunal in respect of matters pertaining

to recruitment to Civil Services or to any Civil Post of the

State.

(c) That the Administrative Tribunal is the Court

of first instance and the High Court would get the

jurisdiction under Article 226 read with Article 227 of the

Constitution only in exercise of its power of judicial

review over the order that may be passed by the

Administrative Tribunal. He relied upon the Judgment of

the Apex Court in the case of L.Chandra Kumar

(supra). Thus, he submitted the learned Single Judge in

the first place had no jurisdiction to entertain the writ

petition and in the second place even exercise of judicial

review of the order passed by the Administrative

Tribunal could be exercisable only by the Division Bench

and not by learned Single Judge.

(d) That the writ jurisdiction cannot be converted

as an alternate forum enlarging the scope to include the

disputes which are specifically excluded under the

provisions of Constitution of India and by the law settled

by the Apex Court in the case of L.Chandra Kumar

(Supra). He further relied upon the Judgment of the

Apex Court in the case of Union of India Vs Alapan

Bandopadyaya reported in (2022) 3 SCC 133 in

support of his submission.

(e) That the very notification was the subject

matter of challenge before the Kalaburagi Bench of this

Court in W.P.No.200032/2023 which was dismissed in

view of law laid down by the Apex Court in the case of

L.Chandra Kumar (supra) for want of jurisdiction.

Thus, he submitted that the impugned order apart from

being inconsistent to the order passed by the Coordinate

Bench for want of jurisdiction also raises the territorial

jurisdiction as it covers the recruitments in respect of

candidates from Gulbarga District.

(f) That a decision rendered without impleading

proper and necessary party is liable to be ignored by a

party who is affected by the same is against the

principles of natural justice. That in the instant case,

since the names of the appellants were included in the

provisional list and they not having been made party to

the writ petition, the impugned order is liable to be

ignored as not binding on them.

(g) It is further contended that policy of reservation

in terms of Government order dated 12.12.1986 is in

force for more than 36 years and without a prayer or a

challenge to the same, learned Single Judge could not

have quashed the notification. That the entire process

of recruitment was based on the said order dated

12.12.1986, which prescribes determination of income

of the husband of a married woman and not of her

parents. That as per the notification instructions have

been issued to comply with the requirement of

notification and since the recruitment pertains to civil

posts same would fall within the provisions of Section 15

of the Administrative Tribunals Act and challenge to the

same would only be before Administrative Tribunal.

10. Sri.P.S.Rajagopal, learned Senior counsel

appearing for learned counsel for appellants in

W.A.No.886/2013 submitted that;

a) The very relief sought in the writ petition is seeking

quash of provisional select list dated 18.11.2022 and for

direction to respondent No.3 to consider the case of the

petitioners under category 2A, 2B and 3A and 3B in the

final select list. He submits the entire issue pertains to a

service concerning post of civil service of the state. Thus,

in terms of paragraph 99 of L.Chandra Kumar's case

jurisdiction of the High Court is ousted.

b) Learned Senior counsel referred to provisions of

Education Department Services, Karnataka State Civil

Services Rules 1978 more particularly Rule 7 thereof

providing for reservation of posts. He insisted that since

the said Rules provide for recruitment to State Civil

Services, provision of Section 15 and 28 of the Act, 1984

would apply excluding the jurisdiction of the High Court.

(c) Adverting to the reasoning assigned by learned

Single Judge at paragraph 8 of the impugned order with

reference to Judgments of the Apex Court in the case of

L.Chandra Kumar (supra) and T.K.Rangarajan

(supra) learned Senior counsel submitted that the facts of

the case in T.K.Rangarajan are distinguishable in that, a

case of "unprecedented extraordinary situation having no

parallel" had involved. While the facts of the present case

do not meet the factual situation of T.K.Rangarajan as

there is no such extraordinary situation involved.

(d) That there is no whisper in the writ petition

regarding approaching the Tribunal not being adequate and

efficacious remedy. He contended that learned Single

Judge had made out a new case which is not pleaded by

the parties. In support of his contentions he referred to

the Judgment of the Apex Court in the case of Trozan &

Co., Ltd., (1953) 1 SCC 456 paragraph 38 and the

Judgment in the case of State of W.B Vs W.B.

Registration Copywriters Association (2009) 14 SCC

132.

(e) Learned Senior counsel further submitted that

concept of creamy layer at the national level was brought

in the year 1992. As for as the State of Karnataka, the

same was introduced much prior to 04.03.1977. The

Government order was issued on 28.12.1983 and a

subsequent order dated 12.12.1986 is in the form of

instruction to the candidates and to the authority issuing

the income certificate. That there has been no challenge to

any of the orders namely order dated 28.12.1983 and the

order dated:12.12.1986. As such no mandamus could

have been issued.

(f) The provisions of Karnataka Scheduled Caste and

Scheduled Tribes and other Backward Classes (Reservation

of Appointments Etc.,) Act, 1990, Karnataka Scheduled

Caste and Scheduled Tribes and other Backward Classes

(Reservation of Appointments Etc.,) Rules, 1992 and the

Government orders issued under the provisions of Article

16(4) of the Constitution of India. The said Government

Order apart from laying down modalities of operation of

reservation has clarified that to compute "family income" in

respect of women candidates who are married the income

of the parents should not be added to her income and in

such case only income of their husband should be taken

into consideration.

(g) That since the said Government orders have been

passed in furtherance to the aforesaid Acts the same have

become statutory orders and while making appointments

to any office in the civil service of the State of Karnataka or

a civil post under the State of Karnataka appointment or

posts shall be reserved for scheduled castes, scheduled

tribes and other backward classes to such extent and in

such manner as may be specified from time to time. Rule

7 of the Recruitment Rules stipulates that the reservation

of post shall be in accordance with the norms and extent

provided under Rule 9 of the Karnataka Civil Services

(General Recruitments) Rules, 1977.

(h) That the recruitment notification in the instant

case stipulated that candidates claiming reservation as

persons belonging to other backward classes, category-2A,

2B, 3A and 3B should submit along with their applications,

caste cum income certificates in Form `F' stipulated under

Order dated 08.02.2023 in accordance with Rules 3A(2)

and (3) of Reservation Rules. Thus, he submitted that

learned Single Judge contrary to the aforesaid rules and

the recruitment notification which are not even challenged,

erroneously relied upon an inapplicable Judgment in the

case of Surinder Singh Vs Punjab State Electricity

Board reported in (2014) 15 SCC 676 to hold that while

computing the family income in the case of married woman

even the income of parents could be taken into

consideration.

(i). That learned Single Judge erred in holding that the

selecting authority acted without jurisdiction in rejecting

the reservation claim of the petitioners on the premise that

validity of the reservation certificates can be adjudicated

only by District Caste and Income Verification Committee

constituted under the Act and Rules.

11. Sri. Naik Nityanand Venkataraman, Sri.Mithun

G.A., and Sri.Harish M.G., for the appellants

submitted their arguments supplementing the submission

made by the learned Senior counsel.

12. Sri.K.N.Phanindra, learned Senior counsel

appearing for the counsel for respondent Nos. 24 to 47

who were the petitioners in the writ petition submitted

that;

(a) the core issue that was before the learned Single

Judge was with regard to jurisdiction of the DDPI in

interpreting the caste certificate and income certificate

issued by the competent authorities. That since the said

issue did not pertain to process of recruitment the writ

petition was entertainable. That the judicial review is part

of the basic structure of the Constitution of India. That the

issue of "maintainability" of a writ petition being different

from the issue of "entertainability" of the petition, there is

no express constitutional bar in maintaining a writ petition.

That learned Single Judge in excise of his discretionary any

power has given the finding with regard to the

entertainability of the writ petition and with regard to the

jurisdiction of Deputy Director of Public Instruction in

interpreting the caste certificate and income certificate, as

such there is no infirmity in the impugned order.

(b) He submitted that the finding of the learned

Single Judge is based on the Judgment of the Apex Court

in the case of T.K.Rangarajan (supra) as it involved

several thousands of candidates and the issue was only

relating to interpretation of the caste and income

certificate.

(c) That the learned Single Judge came to the

conclusion that the caste verifying certificate is to be

issued only on the income of the parents and the said

conclusion has been arrived at based on the Judgment of

the Apex Court in the case of Surinder Singh vs. Punjab

Electricity Board and others (2014) 15 SCC 767,

Sunita Singh vs. State of U.P. (2018) 2 SCC 492,

Ashok Bhushan Takhur vs. State of Bihar (1995) 5

SCC 403 and on the basis of judgment dated 19.11.2018

passed by the Coordinate Bench of this Court in the case of

State of Karnataka vs. Smt. Yogeshwari and another

(W.P.No.24119/2018).

(d) As regard the issue concerning Deputy Director

of Public Instruction having jurisdiction to interpret the

caste and income certificate, the learned Single Judge

relying upon the judgment of the Division Bench of this

Court in the case of Executive Director, KEA vs. State

and another 2018 SCC Online Kar.4112 has held that

such interpretation can only be by authority which has

issued the certificate and not the selecting authority.

e) Thus, he submitted the aforesaid core issues and

the finding given by the learned Single Judge is based on

the precedents and to the said extent the writ petition was

entertainable and no infirmity could be found.

(f) Bringing to the notice of this Court the

subsequent events that have taken place after passing of

the impugned order, whereby the State Government

conducted the proceedings on 07.02.2023 under the

Chairmanship of Ministry of Primary and Secondary

Education resolving to implement the direction issued by

the learned Single Judge, learned Senior counsel submitted

that the State Government has published new provisional

list on 27.02.2023 and after considering the objections to

the said provisional list, the State Government has

published the final selection list on 08.03.2023. As such,

the writ appeals have become infructuous as nothing

survives for consideration in view of the subsequent

development. He submitted that if the appellants are

aggrieved by the selection list dated 08.03.2023 they have

separate cause of action and have to agitate the same

before the appropriate forum. In support of his submission,

learned Senior counsel relies upon the Judgment of the

Apex Court in the cases of Ramachandraprasad Singh

vs. Sharad Yadav (2021) 13 SCC 794, Pasupulipi

Venkateshwaralu vs. The Motor and General Traders

(1975)1 SCC 770 and K.N. Rajakumar vs. V.

Nagarajan and others (2022) 4 SCC 617. Thus, he

seeks for dismissal of the writ appeals.

13. Sri. Vikram Huilgol, learned Additional Advocate

General for the respondent-State submitted that

subsequent to the impugned order passed by the learned

Single Judge a final selection list has been prepared taking

into consideration both the Government order dated

12.12.1986 and the directions issued by the learned Single

Judge. A total number of 67892 candidates were found

eligible for selection in all the subjects, namely, English

Language, Social Studies in Kannada, Urdu and Marati

Medium , Mathematics and Science in Kannada, Urdu and

Marati Medium, Biological science in Kannada, Urdu and

Marati medium including Kalyana Karnataka Region. That

out of said 67,892 eligible candidates a list in the ratio of

1:2 was prepared and instead of 30,000 required

candidates only 22,432 candidates were selected on roster

and merit basis from all 35 districts, as some of the

categories did not have twice the required number of

candidates. That even though in some districts candidates

are more they cannot be selected as the selection is district

wise. In other words, an applicant who applied in a

particular district and wrote competitive exam in that

district cannot be considered for some other district. That

out of the 22,432 eligible candidates selected as above,

after considering the income certificate of both husband

and parents a list consisting of 13,342 candidates was

prepared based on merit cum roster. Out of them 8,376

are women candidates 4,973 are male candidates and 3

are transgender. That on account of redoing the exercise

by applying both circular dated 12.12.1986 and the

judgment of learned Single Judge and by redrawing of a

fresh list based on the individual merits of the candidates

451 candidates who were present in the earlier selection

list dated 18.11.2022 have not found place in the revised

selection list published on 08.03.2023. Thus, he submits

that the final selection list is based on the order of the

learned Single Judge and the Government order dated

12.12.1986 and that there is no departure from the

reservation policy of the Government. Hence, seeks for

dismissal of the appeals.

14. Heard. Perused the records.

15. Considering pleading and reliefs sought in the

writ petition, reasons assigned by learned Single Judge in

the impugned order, grounds urged in these appeals and

the submissions made by learned counsel for the parties,

at the outset what needs to be considered is;

a) Whether writ petition as filed seeking the

reliefs thereunder is entertainable under Article

226 of the Constitution of India?

16. In this regard at the first instance it is necessary

to point out the nature and scope of the issue involved in

the matter. It is beneficial to refer the impugned

notification dated 21.03.2022 issued by the respondent-

State Department of Public Education, Selection and

Appointment Authority and District Deputy Director

(Administration), Bangalore North Taluk. The title of the

notification is "Recruitment Notification". The subject

mentioned therein is the "recruitment to the post of

Graduate Primary Teacher (for class 6 to 8) for the years

2020-21 to be filled by direct recruitment through District

Level Competitive Examination". The said notification

further refers to Karnataka Education Department Services

(Public Education Department)(Recruitment)(Special)

Rules, 2022, under which the same is issued. It further

clarifies that the said notification for selection is issued for

public information following the prevailing Rules as per the

Recruitment Rules, Reservation Rules and Government

Orders issued from time to time mentioned in reference for

selection.

17. The aforesaid Rules 2022, have been framed by

the State Government in exercise of powers conferred by

Section 3 and 8 of the Karnataka State Civil Services Act,

1978. The recruitment process as mentioned in the

notification consist of a competitive examination and

preparation of select list on the basis of marks secured in

the competitive examination with the weightage added in

terms of Rule 6. Rule 7(i) of the Rules, 2022 stipulate that

the reservation of post shall be in accordance with extant

orders of Government and extant law including current

orders of the State Government relating to reservation of

posts for the persons belonging to Scheduled Caste,

Scheduled Tribes and other backward classes. Rule 8

under the heading "Selection List" envisages publication of

provisional select list, receiving and considering objections,

if any, to the provisional select list and publication of final

select list thereafter.

18. The policy providing for reservation of posts for

the persons belonging to Scheduled Caste, Scheduled

Tribes and other backward classes is traceable to the

Government order dated 28.12.1983 which was issued

under clause (4) of Article 16 of the Constitution of India

providing the meaning of the phrase "family income" and

the manner and method of its computation. The said order

provides that while computing "family income" in the case

of married women candidate income of her parents should

not be added and only the income of her husband to be

taken into consideration if they are staying separately as

an independent family. If they are living in a joint family

income of the candidate along with income of the joint

family should be taken into consideration for calculation of

family income. In the case of candidate who is a widow

her income alone shall be taken into consideration

irrespective of whether or not she lives independently.

19. By another order dated 12.12.1986 the

Government reiterated the modalities of operation of

reservation.

20. With effect from 01.06.1992 the Karnataka

Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and other backward

classes (Reservation of Appointments etc.) Act, 1990

(hereinafter referred to as `Reservation Act') was

enforced. By the said Act all the Government Orders

issued under clause(4) of Article 16 of the Constitution of

India became statutory orders and it mandated that while

making appointment to any office in a civil service of State

of Karnataka or a Civil Post under the State of Karnataka,

appointments or posts shall be reserved for Scheduled

Caste, Scheduled Tribes and other backward classes to

such extent and in such manner as may be specified from

time to time in the order made by the Government under

clause (4) of Article 16 of the Constitution of India. The

Act defines other backward classes to mean Communities,

Castes and Tribes notified by the State Government from

time to time under clause (4) of Article 15 and clause (4)

of Article 16 of Constitution of India. The Act further

provides mechanism and protocol for issuance of caste

certificate, income and caste certificates and their

validation.

21. In exercise of powers conferred under Section

13 of the Reservation Act, the State framed the Rules

called the Karnataka Scheduled Caste, Scheduled Tribes

and Backward Classes (Reservation of Appointment etc.)

Rules, 1992. The order dated 08.02.2000 issued by the

Government under the Rules stipulates that the income

and caste certificate being issued to the candidates

belonging to backward classes other than category-I to be

in Form F.

22. Thus, the recruitment notifications subject

matter of the present lis which were issued for each District

in the State on the same day stipulated that the candidates

claiming reservation as persons belonging to other

backward classes, category 2A, 2B, 3A and 3B to submit

along with their applications caste cum income certificate

in Form F as stipulated under the Government Order dated

08.02.2000 in accordance with Rule 3-A(2) and (3) on or

before 22.04.2022 being the last date for submission of

applications. The notification further states that the

reservation certificates which are not as per the formats

prescribed by Government Order dated 08.02.2000 and not

issued in accordance with Rule 3-A(2) and (3) and if

received after the stipulated date for receipt of

applications, would be rejected.

23. Thus, the above undisputed material facts would

reveal that the primary school teacher post of which

recruitment is sought is a 'civil post' governed by the

Karnataka Education Department Services(Department of

Public Instruction) (Recruitment) Rules, 1967 and

Amendment Rules, 2017. Thus, the said post being civil

post under the State is governed under the Rules framed

under Sub-Section (1) of Section 3 read with Section 8 of

the Karnataka Civil Services Act, 1978.

24. The Administrative Tribunals Act, 1985 has been

promulgated for adjudication or trial by the 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 any local or other authority

within the territory of India under the control of

Government of India or of any corporation or society

owned or controlled by the Government in pursuance of

Article 323A of Constitution and the matters connected

therewith are incidental thereto.

25. Section 15 of the Act, 1985 provides for

exclusive jurisdiction of the Administrative Tribunal in

relation to recruitment and matter concerning recruitment

to any civil service or the State or to any civil post under

the State. In other words the matters involving

recruitment or matter concerning recruitment are to be

dealt with adjudicated and determined by the

Administrative Tribunal in terms of Section 15 of the Act,

1985.

26. Section 28 of the Act, 1985 exclude the

jurisdiction of all courts except the Supreme Court under

Article 136 of the Constitution of India and the Labour

Courts and other authorities under the Industrial Disputes

Act.

27. The Apex Court in the case of L.Chandra

Kumar Vs Union of India reported in (1997) 3 SCC

261 has held that the Administrative Tribunals constituted

under Act, 1985 have jurisdiction to consider all the

matters covered under the Act including issue relating to

constitutional validity of the provisions relating to

recruitment of employees and regulations governing the

service conditions. The Apex Court has further held that all

decisions of Administrative Tribunals would be subject to

the scrutiny by the Division Bench of their respective High

Courts. Paragraph 93 and 94 of the said judgment of the

Apex Court are extracted hereunder;

"93. Before moving on to other aspects, we may summarise conclusions on the jurisdictional powers of these Tribunals. The Tribunal are competent to hear matters where the vires of statutory provisions a for the High Courts and the Supreme Court which have, under questioned. However, in discharging this duty, they cannot act as substitute constitutional set-up, been specifically entrusted with such an obligation Their function in this respect is only supplementary and all such decisions of the Tribunals will be subject to scrutiny before a Division Bench of the respective High Courts. The Tribunals will consequently also have the power a to test the vires of subordinate legislations and rules. However, this power of the Tribunals will be subject to one important exception. The Tribunals shall not entertain any question regarding the vires of their parent statutes following the settled principle that a Tribunal which is a creature of an Act cannot declare that very Act to be unconstitutional. In such cases alone, the High Court concerned may be approached directly. All other decisions of b these Tribunals, rendered in cases that they are specifically empowered to adjudicate upon by virtue of their parent statutes, will also be subject to scrutiny before a Division Bench of their respective High Courts. (We may add that the Tribunals will, however, continue to act as the only courts of first instance in respect of the areas of law for which they have been constituted. By this, we mean that it will not be open for litigants to directly approach the High Courts even in cases where they question the vires of statutory legislations (except, as mentioned, where the legislation which creates the particular Tribunal is challenged) by overlooking the jurisdiction of the Tribunal concerned.

94. The directions issued by us in respect of making the decisions of Tribunals amenable to scrutiny before a Division Bench of the respective High Courts

will, however, come into effect prospectively i.e. will apply to decisions rendered hereafter. To maintain the sanctity of judicial proceedings, we have invoked the doctrine of prospective overruling so as not to disturb the procedure in relation to decisions already rendered".

28. Further the Apex Court in the case of Union of

India vs. Allapan Bandyopadhyay reported in (2022) 3

SCC 133 following its judgment passed in L.Chandra

kumar's case at paragraph 38, 39 and 40 has held as

under;

"38. When once a Constitution Bench of this Court declared the law "all decisions of Tribunals created under Article 323-A and Article 323-B of the High Court within whose jurisdiction the Tribunal concerned falls", of the Constitution will be subject to the scrutiny before a Division Bench It is impermissible to make any further construction on the said issue. The will cover and take within its sweep orders passed on applications or otherwise b expression "all decisions of these Tribunals used by the Constitution Bench to another Bench of the Tribunal in exercise of the power under Section 25 of in the matter of transfer of original applications from one Bench of the Tribunal the Act.

39. In other words, any decision of such a Tribunal, including the one a Division Bench of a High Court within whose jurisdiction the Tribunal passed under Section 25 of the Act could be subjected to scrutiny only before concerned falls. This unambiguous exposition of law has to be followed scrupulous while deciding the jurisdictional High Court for the purpose of bringing in challenge against-an-order of transfer of an original application from one Bench of

Tribunal to another Bench in the invocation of Section 25 of the Act.

40. The law thus declared by the Constitution Bench cannot be revisited by the bundle of facts to ascertain whether they would confer territorial jurisdiction a Bench of lesser quorum or for that matter by the High Courts by looking into to the High Court within the ambit of Article 226(2) of the Constitution. We are of the considered view that taking another view would undoubtedly result in indefiniteness and multiplicity in the matter of jurisdiction in situations when a decision passed under Section 25 of the Act is to be called in question especially in cases involving multiple parties residing within the jurisdiction of different High Courts albeit aggrieved by one common order passed by the Chairman at the Principal Bench at New Delhi".

29. Thus, from the aforesaid factual aspect of the

matter, applicable provisions of law and the judgments of

the Apex Court it is clear that in the matters of recruitment

process, it is the Tribunal under the Act, 1985 which is the

court of first instance and the role of Division Bench of the

High Court within whose jurisdiction the Tribunal is situated

is only in exercise of and judicial review under Article

226/227 of constitution of India.

30. The Apex Court in the case of Rajendra Diwan

vs. Pradeep Kumar Ranibala reported in (2019) 20

SCC 143 at para 86 has held as under;

"86. In exercise of its extraordinary power of superintendence and/or judicial review under Articles 226 and 227 of the Constitution of India, the High Courts restrict interference to cases of patent error of law which go to the root of the decision; perversity; arbitrariness and/or unreasonableness; violation of principles of natural justice, lack of jurisdiction and usurpation of powers. The High Court does not re-assess or re-analyse the evidence and/or materials on record. Whether the High Court would exercise its writ jurisdiction to test a decision of the Rent Control Tribunal would depend on the facts and circumstances of the case. The writ jurisdiction of the High Court cannot be converted into an alternative appellate forum, just because there is no other provision of appeal in the eye of the law".

31. Viewed in that light the next question that

arises is whether the reasoning assigned by learned Single

Judge while answering issue No.1 regarding maintainability

of the writ petition is justified. As seen at paragraph 8 of

the impugned order though learned Single Judge has

taken note of the law laid down by the Apex Court in the

case of L.Chandra Kumar has chosen to rely upon

judgment of the apex court in the case of T.K.Rangarajan

vs. State of Tamil Nadu reported in (2003) 6 SCC 581.

The facts which involved in the case of T.K.Rangarajan as

narrated at para 2 therein reveal that the Tamil Nadu

Government had terminated services of all employees who

had resorted to strike for their demands. The said

'unprecedented action' was challenged before the High

Court of Madras by filing petitions under Articles 226 and

227 of the Constitution of India, in which by an interim

order the learned Single Judge had directed the State

Government that the suspension and dismissal of

employees without conducting any enquiry be kept in

abeyance until further orders and the such employees were

directed to resume the duty. The said interim order was

questioned in the writ appeal before the Division Bench of

the High Court which set aside the interim order by arriving

at a conclusion that without exhausting alternative remedy

of approaching the Administrative Tribunal, writ petitions

were not maintainable. The said case also involved total

detention of about 2211, out of which 74 were ladies and

only 165 male and 7 female personals had been released

on bail. Considering the pathetic conditions of arrestees

who were mainly clerks and subordinate staff the Court

had directed their release on bail. This order of the Division

Bench was challenged by filing an appeal seeking similar

reliefs under Article 32 of the Constitution. The Apex Court

in the aforesaid factual background of the matter at

paragraphs 5 held that,

"5. At the outset, it is to be reiterated that under Article 226 of the Constitution the High Court is empowered to exercise its extraordinary jurisdiction to meet unprecedented extraordinary situation having no parallel. It is equally true that the extraordinary powers are required to be sparingly used. The fact of the present case reveal that this was most extraordinary case which called for interference by the High Court as the State Government has dismissed about two Lakhs employees for going on strike. "

(Emphasis supplied by us)

32. At paragraph 6 and 7 taking note of the law laid

down in the case of L.Chandrakumar, and also the

observation of the Court at para 77, 78 and 81 of

Keshvananda Bharathi case, at para 10 has held as

under;

"10. There cannot be any doubt that the aforesaid of judgment of the larger Bench of this Court and we respectfully agree with same. However, in a case like this , thousand of employees are directed to approach the Tribunal, the Tribunal would not be in a position to render justice to the cause. Hence, as stated earlier because of very very exceptional circumstances that arose in the present case, there was no justifiable reason for the High Court not to entertain the petition on the ground of alternative remedy provided under the statute."

(Emphasis supplied by us)

33. It is further seen in the said judgment the larger

issue involved was also with regard to the consideration

of fundamental right to go on strike.

34. As rightly pointed out by Sri. P.S.Rajagopal,

learned Senior counsel appearing for some of the

appellants, that the facts obtained in the case of

T.K.Rangarajan (supra) on completely different and

distinct from that of the facts involved in the case at hand.

In the instant case it is only rejection of caste and income

certificates of some of the candidates during the

recruitment process. Their names are only figured in a

selection provisional list. No vested right as such is created

in their favour except expectation of being selected. This

cannot be construed as "an unprecedented extraordinary

situation having no parallel", as pointed out by the Apex

Court in its judgment in T.K.Rangarajan's case.

35. It is also relevant to note at this juncture that a

similar petition seeking quash of endorsement had been

filed in W.P.No.200032/2023 (S-RES) before learned Single

Judge at Kalburagi Bench of this court and another batch of

writ petitions in W.P.No.5009/2023 (S-RES) connected with

other matters were filed before learned Single Judge of this

Court. Taking note of the law laid by the Apex Court in the

case of L.Chandra Kumar (supra) and relevant provisions

the Administrative Tribunal Act, 1985, these writ petitions

were dismissed/disposed of by orders dated 12.01.2023

and 26.5.2023 respectively, reserving liberty to the

petitioners their in to approach the Tribunal constituted

under the Administrative Tribunal Act, 1985.

36. As rightly pointed out by Sri. Lakshminarayan,

learned Senior counsel appearing for some of the

appellants the aforesaid orders passed by the Coordinate

Benches in dismissing the writ petitions and the impugned

order in entertaining the writ petition on the very ground

of jurisdiction by interpreting the law laid down by the

Apex Court in the L.Chandra Kumar's case has lead to an

irreconcilable anomalous situation.

37. Necessary to note at this juncture the

submissions made by Sri. K.N.Phanindra, learned Senior

counsel who sought to make a distinction between

"maintainability" and "entertainability" of a writ petition.

True it is that any writ petition in exercise of review

jurisdiction of the high Court under Article 226 and 227 is

maintainable. The question whether relief sought therein

in the given facts and the position of law could be

entertained?. As noted in the instant case, in view of

statutory bar contained under the Administrative Tribunals

Act, 1985 and the legal position enunciated by the Apex

Court in L.Chandra Kumar's case, it is very clear that

the Tribunals constituted under the Act, 1985 are the

courts of first instance in the matters pertaining to the

process of recruitment and it is only a Division Bench of

the respective High Courts vested with power of judicial

review against the decision/orders passed by the Tribunals.

38. For the aforesaid reasons and analysis, we are

of the considered view that the writ petition filed by the

respondent Nos. 27 to 47 seeking reliefs as sought for

therein, under the facts and circumstances of the case

could not have been entertained that too solely relying

upon the judgment of the Apex Court in the case of

T.K.Rangarajan (supra), facts of which are palpably

different and distinguishable.

39. Since our conclusion on the entertainability of

the writ petition having been arrived at in the negative,

we refrain from expressing any opinion on the merits or

otherwise of the contentions raised on the two other issues

dealt with by learned Single Judge. It is therefore,

appropriate that impugned order be set aside and all the

contentions regarding the said issues be kept open to be

urged before the Tribunal.

40. Before parting, it is necessary and imperative to

note, at the cost of repetition, that in the affidavit dated

24.08.2023 filed on behalf of the respondents -State it is

deposed that in terms of the notifications dated

21.03.2022 issued for each of the 35 Districts 15,000 posts

were notified for recruitment of Graduate Primary Teachers

in Government primary schools (6 to 8 standard) (5,000

for Kalyana Karnataka District and 10,000 for other

Districts). It is further deposed that 1,06,083 applicants

had participated, out of which a total number of 67,892

candidates were found eligible for selection in all subjects.

That out of said 67,892 eligible candidates an eligible list

in the ratio of 1:2 was prepared and instead of 30,000

candidates only 22,432 were selected on roster and merit

basis from all 35 Districts. It is deposed that it is because

some of the categories did not have required number of

candidates, as such, there was a shortfall in numbers of

candidates selected in specific subject. It is further

deposed that subsequent to the impugned order passed by

the learned Single Judge a selection list in the ratio of 1:1

was prepared and published on 08.03.2023. That the said

list was prepared taking into consideration both the

Government order dated 12.12.1986 and the order of the

learned Single Judge. In that, out of 22,432 eligible

candidates, income certificate of both husband and parents

was considered and a list consisting of 13,352 candidates

was prepared on the basis of merit cum roster. Out of this

8,376 are women candidates, 4,973 are male candidates

and 3 are transgenders. It is further deposed that on

account of re-doing the exercise by applying both circular

dated 12.12.1986 and the order of the learned Single

Judge while drawing up a fresh list on the basis of

individual merits of the candidates 451 candidates whose

names were enlisted in the earlier selection list dated

18.11.2022 have been left out and have not found place in

the revised selection list published on 08.03.2023.

41. Referring to aforesaid contents of the affidavit

and the documents produced at Annexure-R1, R2, R3 R4,

R5 and R6 to the said affidavit, Sri. Vikram Huilgol, learned

Additional Advocate General submitted that the

respondent-State Government be permitted to proceed

with appointments at least in respect of the said 13352

candidates. He submitted that acute shortage of teachers

is impacting the State function in imparting education

which is a constitutional obligation of the State. He further

submitted that the candidates whose names that were

found in the earlier selection list dated 18.11.2022 and did

not find place in the revised selection list published on

08.03.2023 is only numbering 451 and the names of the

remaining candidates were in any case existed in the said

earlier selection list dated 18.11.2022. He submitted that

the State would ensure that such appointments would be

subject to the outcome of the challenge being made by the

petitioners in these petitions.

42. In response, it was contended on behalf of the

appellants that if such a process is adopted same would

adversely affect the carrier prospects of the appellants. It

is also contended on behalf of the appellants that the effect

of the impugned order passed by the learned Single Judge

is that around 350 selectees are now substituted by

another set of 350 candidates. Therefore, it is contended

on behalf of the appellants that even the appellants herein

be appointed against the admitted vacant posts subject to

outcome of the challenge being raised by them.

43. In response, learned Additional Advocate General,

submitted that the request of the appellants to

accommodate them in the selection process was not

practicable inasmuch as different notifications were issued

for each of the 35 districts and the candidates who have

applied in one district cannot be considered for another

district merely because vacancy available in other districts.

Also because the requirement in each district varies as the

notification has been issued considering the local

requirement arising on subject wise. Such accommodation

of the appellants would also impact the reservation roster.

44. We have given our anxious consideration to the

aforesaid submissions made on behalf of the State and the

appellants. It is not in dispute that the Deputy Director of

Public Instruction the appointing authority had rejected the

candidature of the writ petitioners on the premise of they

not furnishing the caste cum income certificates as

prescribed in the notifications and had brought them under

General Merit Category. This issue however requires

consideration in a properly constituted petition before the

Administrative Tribunal as held by us hereinabove.

45. Thus, considering imminent requirement of the

Graduate Primary School Teachers and large vacancy

across the State and in the interest of the students of 6 to

8 standards who are left high and dry for want of

teachers, we are of the considered view that the

respondent-State be permitted to proceed with appointing

teachers from 13352 selected candidates as per the list

dated 08.03.2023 produced at Annexure-R6 to the

affidavit. It is however made clear since it is deposed in

the affidavit that the said list at Annexure-R6 has been

prepared and published on 08.06.2023 by taking into

consideration income certificate of both husband and

parents, as well as on merit cum roster, the appointment

of the candidates who have not submitted the caste cum

income certificate in the form prescribed in the notification

and which is not in terms of Government Order dated

12.12.1986, and who are included in the list in view of the

order passed by learned Single Judge be deferred until the

outcome of the result of the challenge.

46. As regards the remaining 451 posts since it is

contended that their names have been excluded purely on

the merit basis, it is clarified that if in the event the

eligibility of such candidates who have not furnished the

caste cum income certificate in the prescribed form is held

to be invalid, such posts may be filled from amongst the

candidates who have been excluded on merits and the

candidates who have submitted certificates in the

prescribed form.

47. We further make it clear that this provision

enabling the State Government to proceed with the process

of appointment is made under the peculiar fact situation of

the matter wherein the present litigation has brought the

process of appointment of teachers of class 6 to 8 across

the State to a grinding halt only on account of rejection of

application of some of the candidates by the Deputy

Director of Public Instruction for want of caste cum income

certificate in the prescribed form.

With the above observation, writ appeals are partly

allowed. Impugned order dated 30.01.2023 passed in

W.P.No.23752/2022 (GM-CC) is set aside. Respondent-

State is permitted to proceed appointing the teachers in

the lines of observation made in paragraphs 45 and 46

hereinabove.
