THIS CONTEMPT OF COURT CASE (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 05.08.2021, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING:

CON.CASE(C) NO. 928 OF 2021

JUDGMENT

This contempt case has been filed by the petitioners on the

allegation that, in spite of the specific directions in the judgment

dated 18.01.2021 in W.P.(C) No.7868 of 2019, the respondent has

not reported the available vacancies in their services to the Kerala

Public Service Commission (PSC), on or before 28.01.2021.

However, the learned counsel for the respondent - Sri.Jaya

Mohan, submits that a counter affidavit has been filed, wherein, it

has been clearly averred that there are only 5 sanctioned posts of

Security Staff, which have all been filled up through the PSC and

that there are 8 others, who are working on supernumerary posts,

along with another 19 on contract basis. He submits that since

there are only 5 sanctioned posts, while the other persons are

being engaged beyond it on temporary basis, no violation of the

judgment can be alleged by the petitioners, since this Court had

only directed the respondent to report their existing and

sanctioned posts, to which the mode of appointment, as per the

Special Rules, is direct recruitment. He submitted that since all CON.CASE(C) NO. 928 OF 2021

the sanctioned posts have been reported to the PSC and have been

already filled up, the petitioners cannot maintain any grievance

against this respondent.

I find substantial force in the submissions of Sri.Jaya

Mohan, since all the sanctioned posts in the company in question

appear to have been already reported to the PSC and filled up

under their advices. Obviously, therefore, if the petitioner has

any grievance that the other persons are working illegally or that

the company ought not to engage persons more than on the

sanctioned strength, they must invoke the other remedies, rather

than pursue this Contempt case.

In such circumstances, this contempt case is closed with the

afore liberty being reserved to the petitioner.
