CON.CASE(C) NO. 872 OF 2021

BY ADV V.SETHUNATH

RESPONDENTS/RESPONDENT NO.46:

K.T.JAYARAJAN AGED 55 YEARS, S/O. K.T. RAMAN, MANAGING DIRECTOR, KERALA STATE TEXTILES CORPORATION LIMITED (KSTCL), ANNAPOORNA, T.C. 9/2000-01, KOCHAR ROAD, SASTHAMANGALAM, THIRUVANANTHAPURAM-695010.

BY ADV.SHRI.P.U.SHAILAJAN, SC, KERALA STATE TEXTILE CORPORATION LTD

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. 872 OF 2021

JUDGMENT

This contempt case has been filed by the

petitioners with 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.

2. The petitioners submit that on account of

the failure of the respondent to do so, valuable

rights vested with them, as per the rank list,

have now been effaced; and they thus pray that

appropriate action be taken against the respondent

under the Contempt of Courts Act.

3. In response, the learned counsel for the

respondent - Sri.P.U.Shailajan, submitted that the

afore allegations of the petitioners are

completely untrue, because there are only four CON.CASE(C) NO. 872 OF 2021

sanctioned posts, which had already been reported

to the PSC, through Annexures R(a), R(b) and R(c),

in the years 2009, 2013 and 2016, respectively. He

submitted that since no Rules had been approved by

the Government, the PSC has not yet made any

advice to the same.

4. Sri.V.Sethunath - learned counsel for the

petitioners, opposed the afore submissions, saying

that there is nothing on record to show that any

vacancies have been reported after the judgment

and therefore, persisted that action be taken

against the respondent.

5. I am afraid that I cannot find favour with

Sri.V.Sethunath because if, as stated by the

respondent - and as is evident from Annexures

R(a), R(b) and R(c) - the vacancies had already

been reported to the PSC, then it is up to the

said Authority to make apposite advice and if this

has not yet been done, then the remedy will CON.CASE(C) NO. 872 OF 2021

proceed against the said Authority appropriately,

rather than pursue this contempt case against the

respondent.

In the afore circumstances, leaving open the

afore liberty to the petitioners, I close this

contempt case without any further orders.
