THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON
07.07.2022, ALONG WITH WP(C).8213/2020 AND CONNECTED CASES, THE
COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING:
WP(C) NO. 8213 OF 2020 and Con.Cases

C.R.
JUDGMENT
[WP(C) Nos.8213/2020, 14247/2020, 17983/2022, 18009/2022,
18802/2020, 24840/2020]
Since the issues canvassed, projected and
impelled in these matters are common, I have heard
them together and propose to dispose them of
through this judgment.
2. The constitutive issue involved is whether
there is any conflict between the Government of
India Order (hereinafter referred to as "GOI Pay
Scale Order"), accepting the recommendations of
the Pay Review Committee (PRC) of the University
Grants Commission (UGC) with respect to the pay
scales of teachers and equivalent cadres in
Universities and Colleges, on the one hand; and
between the "UGC Regulations on minimum
qualifications for appointment of teachers and
other academic staff in Universities and Colleges
WP(C) NO. 8213 OF 2020 and Con.Cases
and measures for the Maintenance of Standards in
Higher Education, 2018 (hereinafter referred to as
the "UGC Regulations, 2018"), on the other.
3. This question has arisen because it is
admitted that the Government of Kerala adopted
both these orders and Regulations respectively,
through valid proceedings; but then, while
adopting the 'UGC Regulations 2018', through order
dated 29.09.2019, it introduced a caveat that, in
the event of any conflict between the provisions
of the said Regulations and the order of the
Government of Kerala adopting the 'GOI Pay Scale
Order', the latter would prevail.
4. This particular condition incorporated by
the Government in the aforementioned order, gave
rise to a question whether the advance increments
mentioned in 'UGC Regulations 2018' would become
ungrantable to the petitioners, because the
Government of Kerala Order adopting the 'GOI Pay
WP(C) NO. 8213 OF 2020 and Con.Cases
Scale Order' contained a stipulation - couched in
Clause 6.1.7 thereof - that no incentives in the
form of advance increments may be available to any
person for obtaining the degree of M.Phil/Ph.D.
5. The petitioners contend that Government of
Kerala was wrong in making the afore inhibition
because there can be no conflict between the 'GOI
Pay Scale Order' and the 'UGC Regulations 2018';
especially since the latter was issued at a
subsequent point of time and which was in
continuation of the earlier UGC Regulations of the
year 2010 ('UGC Regulations 2010').
6. I have heard Sri.George Poonthottam,
learned Senior Counsel - instructed by
Sri.A.L.Navaneeth Krishnan, Sri.Deepu Lal Mohan,
Sri.Arun B.Varghese - learned counsel appearing
for the petitioners; Sri.S.Krishnamoorthy -
learned Standing Counsel for the UGC; Smt.Parvathy
K. - learned Government Pleader and
WP(C) NO. 8213 OF 2020 and Con.Cases
Sri.P.Sreekumar who assisted this Court
commendably as Amicus Curiae.
7. Noticing the rather complex issues
projected and the ramifications it may hold in
future, I though it necessary to requisition the
assistance of an Amicus Curiae and requested
Sri.P.Sreekumar to do so. His inputs and
assistance in this matter certainly helped this
Court in arriving at the judgment that I am
presently delivering.
8. For the purpose of this judgment, I
propose to treat WP(C)No.8213/2020 as the lead
case and all reference to the documents and
parties will be as reflected therein, unless
otherwise specified.
9. Sri.George Poonthottam, learned Senior
Counsel and Sri.Deepu Lal Mohan, learned counsel,
made vehement submissions to the effect that
Government of Kerala has mixed up two different
WP(C) NO. 8213 OF 2020 and Con.Cases
Regulations and has virtually said that the
provisions of one will override the other. They
argued that since the 'GOI Pay Revision Order' and
the 'UGC Regulations' - be that the 2010 or the
2018 - operate on different spheres, there can be
no conflict between them; and consequently, one
cannot override the other. They predicated that
the 'GOI Pay Revision Order' was intended to
regulate the Pay and Allowances of teachers under
the UGC Scheme; while 'UGC Regulations 2010/2018'
are intended to promote excellence in teaching and
to incentivise it appositely. They argued that,
therefore, the incentives stipulated in the 'UGC
Regulations 2010/2018' would become applicable to
the teachers on the specific criteria therein
being satisfied; notwithstanding what is stated in
the 'GOI Pay Revision Order'. They thus prayed
that these Writ Petitions be allowed.
10. Sri.P.Sreekumar - learned Amicus Curiae,
WP(C) NO. 8213 OF 2020 and Con.Cases
submitted that, on the edifice of the research
done by him, the afore submissions of the
petitioners certainly are worthy. He explained,
referring to the specific documents in
WP(C)No.8213/2020, that there are two different
and distinct Order and Regulations involved in
these cases, namely the 'GOI Pay Revision Order'
and the 'UGC Regulations 2010/UGC Regulations
2018'. He pointed out that the 'GOI Pay Revision
Order' is Ext.P4 dated 02.11.2017, which was
issued accepting the recommendations of the Pay
Review Committee under the University Grants
Commission. He then showed me that 'UGC
Regulations 2010' and the 'UGC Regulations 2018'
have been placed on record as Exts.P2 and P5
respectively, and that they have been brought into
force by the UGC under Section 14 of the
University Grants Commission Act, 1956, for the
purpose of incentivising and promoting excellence
WP(C) NO. 8213 OF 2020 and Con.Cases
in teaching and other academic activities.
11. Sri.P.Sreekumar then submitted that Ext.P4
was adopted by the Government of Kerala through
Ext.P6; but that since there was a small mistake
therein, Ext.P7 was issued to correct it and hence
that Ext.P4 holds adoption by the Government under
Exts.P6 and P7. He then added that, as far as
Ext.P5 'UGC Regulations 2018' is concerned, it has
been adopted by the Government through Ext.P8 and
argued that, therefore, paragraph 5 of the said
order - which seems to stipulate that if there is
any inconsistency between the said Regulations and
the 'GOI Pay Revision Order', the latter would
prevail - is absolutely impermissible and totally
superfluous because, as said above, the 'GOI Pay
Revision Order' and the 'UGC Regulations' operate
on different fields and distinctly, under separate
criteria. He closed his submissions saying that,
therefore, paragraph 5 of Ext.P8 order is not
WP(C) NO. 8213 OF 2020 and Con.Cases
merely impermissible but was unnecessary; and that
in any event, incapable of being implemented.
12. In response, however, the learned
Government Pleader - Smt.Parvathy K., submitted
that law has been well settled that the Government
of Kerala can adopt any UGC Regulation or
instruction, either in full or in part. She
submitted that this is exactly what has been done
through Ext.P8 order, through which, even though
the 'UGC Regulations 2018' has been adopted, it
has been made clear that if there is any provision
in Ext.P6/P7 inconsistent with it, then the latter
will prevail. She vehemently asserted that this
was within the freedom of the Government to do and
therefore, that the impugned paragraph in Ext.P8
cannot be interdicted; thus praying that it be not
done.
13. The stand of the rival parties being so
placed on record, I am certainly obliged to
WP(C) NO. 8213 OF 2020 and Con.Cases
consider whether there is any conflict between the
'GOI Pay Revision Order' and the 'UGC Regulations
2018'.
14. I, therefore, asked Sri.S.Krishnamoorthy -
learned Standing Counsel for the UGC, about this
and he submitted that there can be no conflict
between the afore two and that they are intended
to operate differently, but complementary to each
other. He added that every benefit entitled to
teachers under the 'GOI Pay Revision Order' and
'UGC Regulations 2018', or for that matter 'UGC
Regulations 2010', would be entitled to them,
without any conflict and in an adjunct manner. He,
however, added that the 'UGC Regulations 2018' is
only prospective, though conceding that 'UGC
Regulations 2010' is verbatim of the same and
would operate to teachers who were appointed prior
to 18.07.2018.
15. The afore submissions of
WP(C) NO. 8213 OF 2020 and Con.Cases
Sri.S.Krishnamoorthy and the inputs given by
Sri.P.Sreekumar render the field rather limpid
now.
16. The Government of Kerala, no doubt,
adopted Ext.P4 'GOI Pay Revision Order' through
Exts.P6 and P7 and then proceeded to adopt Ext.P5
- 'UGC Regulations 2018' through Ext.P8 order.
Contrary to the afore submissions of Smt.Parvathy
K. - learned Government Pleader, the Government
did not use their freedom to adopt the order and
the Regulations in part, but in its entirety,
without any exception being carved out. Obviously,
therefore, they could not have restrained or
constrained the operation of one among them by the
conditions/criteria available in the other; and to
that extent, certainly, what has been stated in
the impugned paragraph of Ext.P8 appears to be
either made thoughtlessly or erroneously.
17. To paraphrase, when the Government of
WP(C) NO. 8213 OF 2020 and Con.Cases
Kerala adopted the 'GOI Pay Revision Order'
through Exts.P6 and P7, stipulations therein
became applicable to all teachers and academic
staff; and when they went on to adopt 'UGC
Regulations 2018' thereafter, the incentives and
other benefits under it also became additionally
available to them; and I fail to gather how they
could say that the provisions of the former would
govern that of the latter in the case of conflict
among them, when there can be no such. This is
more so because, the UGC takes the affirmative
stand before this Court that the benefits in the
Order and the Regulations are independent of each
other, but complementary and additional.
18. In that perspective, obviously, the
impugned paragraph in Ext.P8 order of the
Government can only be seen to be in error - if
they still maintain that it was done deliberately
- and without properly understanding the ambit of
WP(C) NO. 8213 OF 2020 and Con.Cases
Exts.P4 and P5.
19. The sum total is that teachers who entered
service subsequent to the 'UGC Regulations 2010'
or the 'UGC Regulations 2018' with Ph.D/M.Phil
Degree would certainly be entitled to the advanced
increments mentioned therein, de hors any
stipulation in Ext.P4 'GOI Pay Revision Order',
and in addition to the benefits therein. As far as
teachers who have entered service on the strength
of M.Phil and then obtained a Ph.D, they stand
governed by Clause 19.1 IV(a) of the 'UGC
Regulations 2018' and Clause 9.4(1) of the 'UGC
Regulations 2010', as the case may be, depending
upon the year in which they were recruited, since
the UGC says that operation of both of them is
only prospective in nature.
In summation, I order these Writ Petitions
declaring that the benefits eligible to the
teachers and other academic staff covered by 'UGC
WP(C) NO. 8213 OF 2020 and Con.Cases
Regulations 2010/UGC Regulations 2018' will be in
addition to the benefits entitled to them under
Ext.P4 'GOI Pay Revision Order' accepting the Pay
Revision recommendations of the UGC; and
therefore, that they will be entitled to obtain
all such without any impediment.
As a corollary to the above declarations, I
further clarify that paragraphs 5 and 6 of the
Government Order, bearing No.GO(P)No.28/2019/H.Edn
dated 29.09.2019, would stand invalid and would
not affect any accrued right of the teachers and
academic staff based on the "UGC Regulations,
2018"/"UGC Regulations, 2010".
Needless to say, all consequences of this
declaration shall follow forthwith.
Before I close, I must gratefully record the
incisive and exhaustive assistance offered to this
Court by Sri.P.Sreekumar, learned Amicus Curiae.
WP(C) NO. 8213 OF 2020 and Con.Cases
He has also made available research documents and
his notes for such purpose, without which,
certainly, the ease at which the issues were
decided by this Court would not have been
possible.
