ORDER
Dated this the 5th day of February 2021 Shaffique, J.
This review petition has been filed inter alia contending that, even if the
communal rotation is considered, the petitioner will get the benefit of being appointed
in terms of the present rank list. If there is any violation of the communal rotation as
contended by the petitioner, it shall be open for the petitioner to take appropriate
proceedings in accordance with law.
2. In this matter, we have set aside the judgment of the learned single Judge,
who had formed an opinion that Rules 14 to 17 of KS & SSR would not apply. In terms
of Section 6(2) of the University Act, it is clearly indicated that the University shall
follow the provisions of clauses (a), (b), (c) or Rule 14 and Rules 15, 16 and 17 of the KS
& SSR, 1958. It is for the competent authority to verify whether the Rules have been
followed in terms of the statutory provisions. If the petitioner is aggrieved on account
of the same , it shall be open for him to agitate the issues in appropriate proceedings.
With the above observation, the review petition is dismissed.
