JUDGMENT
[ WP(C).3921/2018, WP(C).4647/2018, WP(C).7524/2018,
WP(C).7578/2018 ]
Dated this the 27th day of January 2021
The petitioners in all these cases are candidates who aspired
to be selected and appointed to the post of Lower Division
Accountants in the Kerala State Industries and Development
Corporation Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as 'SIDCO'); and assert
that they are all sufficiently qualified as per the notification issued
by the Kerala Public Service Commission (for short' PSC') for this
purpose.
2. The petitioners, however, allege that they were excluded
from the rank list published by the PSC, citing the reason that
none of them had the qualifications as are mandated in their
notification. The petitioners contend that the stand adopted by
the PSC is improper, since their qualifications are identical, if not
equivalent, to the one prescribed in the notification. They thus
pray that the rank list dated 29.12.2017 be set aside, to the
extent to which they had been excluded and that the PSC be
WP(C).No.3921 OF 2018 & con.cases
directed to issue a fresh one, including them also.
3. Even though various allegations and averments are
made and urged in these writ petitions in support of the prayers
made, I am of the view that it could not be necessary for this
Court to consider them on its merits now, since admittedly, the
rank list expired on 28.12.2020. Ineluctably, therefore, whatever
be the assertions that may be impelled by the petitioners, their
inclusion in the rank list is now impossible, particularly because
the learned Standing Counsel for the SIDCO confirms that all the
vacancies have already been advised and filled up.
4. However, Sri.Viju Abraham, learned counsel appearing
for the petitioner in WP(C)No.7524 of 2018; Smt.Devi Padma,
learned counsel appearing for the petitioner in WP(C)No.3921 of
2018 and Sri.Harish Gopinath, learned counsel appearing for the
petitioners in WP(C)No.4647 of 2018, submitted that the reasons
cited by the PSC cannot be found favour by this Court, since their
clients have acquired the degree of B.Com, along with M.Com and
therefore, that they were fully eligible to be included in the rank
list.
5. As said above, an affirmative evaluation of this issue by
WP(C).No.3921 OF 2018 & con.cases
this Court could be unnecessary at this time but, prima facie, I
cannot find the reasons that led the PSC not to include the
petitioners to be capricious, especially when the qualification
prescribed in the notification was B.Com with 'Special Accounts
and Audit ' as a special subject, with candidates holding M.Com.
degree given preference.
6. Of course, the contention of the petitioners, as I can
decipher from the pleadings on record, is that since they have all
obtained B.Com degree in Taxation, Co-operation and such other,
they could not have been found ineligible to be included in the
rank list, because their course contained papers and contents with
respect to Auditing and Accounting. In fact, Smt.Devi Padma,
learned counsel for the petitioner in WP(C)No.3921 of 2018,
added to this by saying that B.Com. with 'Special Accounts and
Audit' as a special subject, was offered only by one of the
Universities, namely the M.G.University; and, therefore, that
candidates from other Universities have been faced with an
impossible qualification to achieve.
7. That said, pertinently, the SIDCO has come on
record with a statement that they had, through communication
WP(C).No.3921 OF 2018 & con.cases
dated 16.06.2017, requested the PSC to delete the requirement of
the special subject in 'Special Accounts and Audit' as being a
mandatory qualification.
8. I cannot, however, still grant relief to the petitioners,
not merely for the reason that the rank list has expired, but also
because the afore recommendation of the SIDCO can only apply
for the next selection process. This is because the notification
involved in these cases is dated 12.08.2014 and the written
examination was conducted on 16.09.2015 by the PSC, leading to a
rank list being published on 29.12.2017. The recommendation by
the SIDCO, to modify the educational qualification, was made only
on 16.06.2017. Obviously, therefore, all these contentions can be
raised by the the petitioners and other candidates only when the
next process is initiated or concluded by the PSC.
9. That apart, I notice that the PSC has filed a counter
affidavit, wherein, they say that since the notification requires
candidates to have obtained B.Com. with 'Special Accounts and
Audit' as a special subject, the fact that they may have studied
Auditing and Accounting when they pursued B.Com. in Taxation
or Co-operation would be of no avail. Sri.P.C.Sasidharan, learned
WP(C).No.3921 OF 2018 & con.cases
Standing Counsel appearing for the PSC, further contended that
there were several candidates who had acquired B.Com. with
'Special Accounts and Audit' as a special subject and therefore,
that the petitioners cannot be heard to say that the qualification
was an impossible one.
10. The afore submissions of Sri.P.C.Sasidharan were
adopted by Sri.Kaleeswaram Raj, learned counsel appearing for
s0me of the party respondents in WP(C)No.7578 of 2018, showing
me that his clients have all acquired the qualification of B.Com.
with 'Special Accounts and Audit' as a special subject and
therefore, that they were fully qualified to these appointments. He
therefore, prayed that these writ petitions be dismissed, adding
that the interim orders issued in these cases, to the effect that
appointment of the party respondents would abide by the final
result in these cases, would now inure no benefit to the
petitioners , since the Rank List has already expired.
11. In the conspectus of the above, it is indubitable that this
Court cannot grant any relief to the petitioners at this time,
especially since the Rank List has concededly expired; but I leave
open all their contentions to be pursued by them in future, as and
WP(C).No.3921 OF 2018 & con.cases
when the PSC begins new recruitment process.
These writ petitions are thus disposed of.
