             P.B.SURESH KUMAR & SOPHY THOMAS, JJ.
                -----------------------------------------------
              Writ Appeal Nos.1766 & 1872 of 2022
                                        &

             Dated this the 9th day of February, 2023


                                  JUDGMENT

P.B.Suresh Kumar, J.

These appeals are instituted challenging the common

judgment in three writ petitions namely, W.P.(C) Nos.1459 of 2021,

8766 of 2017 and 8767 of 2017. The matter relates to the approval

of the appointment of the petitioners in the writ petitions as

Laboratory Assistants in the service of Sree Vyasa NSS College,

Vadakkancherry, an aided college affiliated to the Calicut University

and covered by the Direct Payment Scheme of the State

Government. As the writ petitions were disposed of by a common

judgment, the appeals are also disposed of by this common

judgment. Parties and documents are referred to in this judgment,

unless otherwise mentioned, as they appear in W.P.(C) No.1459 of

2021.

2. As per the staff pattern fixed by the Directorate of

Collegiate Education for the College, there are 11 posts of

Laboratory Assistants. In terms of Statute 66 of the Calicut

University (Conditions of Service of the Teachers and Members of

Non-Teaching Staff) First Statutes, 1979 (the Statutes), vacancies in

the higher grades in private colleges are to be filled up by

promotion from the next lower categories, if qualified persons are

available and if not, by direct recruitment, by inviting applications

and conducting a selection as prescribed in the Statutes. As

qualified hands were not available in the service of the College in

the categories next lower to the grade of Laboratory Assistant, the

College resorted to the process of direct recruitment for filling up

the vacancies in the post of Laboratory Assistant. Ext.P5 is the

notification issued by the College in this regard. Thereupon, a

Selection Committee was constituted. Based on the

recommendations of the Selection Committee, a selection was

conducted and the management appointed the petitioners in the

writ petitions as Laboratory Assistants in the College between

09.09.2013 and 07.07.2014.

3. The appointments of the petitioners were however

not approved by the competent authority on the ground that

candidates seeking appointment to the post of Laboratory Assistant

shall have to clear Attenders Test conducted by the Kerala Public

Service Commission in terms of Statute 41(12) of the Statutes. The

Attenders Test being one conducted by the Kerala Public Service

Commission only for in-service Office Attendants of private colleges,

the petitioners took up the matter with the Government for

appropriate orders to absolve them from clearing the Attenders Test.

On the said representation of the petitioners, the Government

directed the Director of Collegiate Education to ascertain whether

the Management has any objection in downgrading the posts of

Laboratory Assistants in which the petitioners were appointed to

Office Attendants for a period of one year so as to accommodate

them in the said post until they complete their period of probation

and then promote them to the post of Laboratory Assistant. The

Management agreed to the said course and consequently, after

receiving a proposal from the Management for the said purpose, the

Government permitted to accommodate the petitioners in the

College as Office Attendants for a period of one year and then as

Laboratory Assistants. Ext.P10 is the communication sent by the

Government in this regard to the Director of Collegiate Education.

Consequent upon the said arrangement, the appointment of the

petitioners were approved initially for a period of one year as Office

Attendants and then as Laboratory Assistants. Even though the

petitioners were appointed during 2013 and 2014, the process

aforesaid was completed only in the month of February and March,

2016 and they have been receiving salary for the period from their

respective dates of appointments only from February and March,

2016.

4. As per the existing rules, Laboratory Assistants need

not have to work during vacations as opposed to Office Attendants.

It appears that a doubt arose later as to whether the petitioners who

have not worked during vacations are entitled to salary for vacation

periods during the first year of their service as they were appointed

during the said period only as Office Attendants. Ext.P6 in W.P.(C)

No.8766 of 2017 is the clarification sought in this regard by the

concerned Deputy Director of Collegiate Education from the Director

of Collegiate Education. Ext.P7 in the said writ petition is the reply to

Ext.P6 notice. In terms of Ext.P7 communication, it was directed that

since the petitioners have not worked during vacation, they are to

be treated as non-vacation staff, indicating that they are not entitled

to vacation salary for the said period. W.P.(C) Nos.8766 of 2017 and

8767 of 2017 were instituted challenging the said decision of the

Director of Collegiate Education. The petitioners therein have also

sought in the said writ petitions a declaration that inasmuch as they

are appointed as Laboratory Assistants, they are entitled to all

service benefits attached to the said post. W.P.(C) No.1459 of 2021

was one instituted almost three years after the institution of W.P.(C)

Nos.8766 of 2017 and 8767 of 2017 challenging Ext.P10 decision of

the Government and for a direction to the respondents to approve

the appointment of the petitioner therein as Laboratory Assistant

with effect from the date of his original appointment and to

regularise his pay and allowances accordingly.

5. The stand taken by the State and the official

respondents in the counter affidavits filed in W.P.(C) Nos.8766 of

2017 and 8767 of 2017 is that inasmuch as the petitioners have

been appointed in the first one year as Office Attendants and they

have not worked during vacations, they are not entitled to vacation

salary during the period in which their appointments were approved

only as Office Attendants. The stand taken by State and the official

respondents in the counter affidavit filed in W.P.(C) No.1459 of 2021

is that inasmuch as the petitioner therein was not qualified to be

considered for appointment as Laboratory Assistant, he is not

entitled to get his appointment approved as Laboratory Assistant

with effect from the date of his initial appointment.

6. The learned Single Judge took the view that insofar

as Statute 66 enables appointment by direct recruitment to the post

of Laboratory Assistant, the requirement in Statute 41(12) dealing

with the qualification prescribed for appointment to the said post

ought to have been harmoniously read along with Statute 66 and a

method found so as to allow the directly recruited Laboratory

Assistants to obtain the qualifications in due course. Consequently,

the learned Single Judge allowed the writ petitions, quashed

Exts.P10 communication of the State Government and directed that

the petitioners shall be disbursed all consequential monetary

benefits as if they were never downgraded, subject, however, to the

condition that they will clear the Attenders Test within the chance

permissible in terms of Statute 41(12). The State and its officials

and the Director of Collegiate Education are aggrieved by the said

decision of the learned Single Judge and hence, these appeals.

7. Heard the learned Government Pleader, the learned

counsel for the Management as also the learned counsel for the

petitioners in the writ petitions.

8. The learned Government Pleader persuasively argued

that inasmuch as the petitioners have not cleared the Attenders

Test, they were not qualified to be considered for appointment to

the post of Laboratory Assistant in terms of Statute 41(12) and the

course adopted by the Government for approving their

appointments cannot, therefore, be treated as illegal in any manner.

According to the learned Government Pleader, the learned Single

Judge, in the circumstances, ought not have directed the State to

treat the appointments of the petitioners as valid and disburse them

salary and other emoluments accordingly. Alternatively, it was also

argued by the learned Government Pleader that at any rate,

inasmuch as the petitioners have accepted their appointment as

Office Attendants and received pay and emoluments accordingly for

a period of one year, they cannot be heard to contend anymore that

downgrading of the posts in which they were appointed for a period

of one year is bad in law, as the law does not permit a person to

both approbate and reprobate. The learned Government Pleader

relied on the judgments of the Apex court in R.N.Gosain v.

Yashpal Dhir, (1992) 4 SCC 683, Punjab & Sind Bank v. S.

Ranveer Singh Bawa, (2004) 4 SCC 484 and Joint Action

Committee of Air Line Pilots' Assn. of India v. DG of Civil

Aviation, (2011) 5 SCC 435, in support of the said propositions.

9. Per contra, the learned counsel for the Management

of the College and the learned counsel for the petitioners supported

the decision of the learned Single Judge contending that the

requirement to have the Attenders Test cleared in terms of Statute

41(12) for direct recruitment to the post of Laboratory Assistant is a

requirement which is impossible of compliance inasmuch as the

Public Service Commission is not conducting the said test for

candidates aspiring appointment to the post of Laboratory Assistant

by direct recruitment. According to them, it is on account of the said

reason that the learned Single Judge has interpreted the statutory

provision aforesaid in the manner indicated in the impugned

judgment and the same cannot be said to be illegal in any manner.

They have also brought to the notice of this Court the proviso to

Statute 41(12) which permits the last grade staff in regular

permanent service of private colleges to be appointed by promotion

without clearing the Attenders Test subject to the condition that

they should clear Attenders Test in one of the five consecutive

Attenders Test conducted by the Kerala Public Service Commission

for the last grade staff of private colleges, to contend that if

appointment by promotion is permissible without clearing Attenders

Test, there is no reason why the appointment by direct recruitment

cannot be permitted without clearing Attenders Test, especially

when it is impossible for a candidate aspiring appointment by direct

recruitment to clear the Attenders Test. It was pointed out by the

learned counsel for the petitioners that in light of the interpretation

given to the provision by the learned Single Judge, the petitioners

are entitled to the reliefs granted to them in the writ petitions and

there is no reason for this court to interfere in the said decision of

the learned Single Judge.

10. We have examined the arguments advanced the

learned counsel for the parties on either side.

11. There is no dispute to the fact that in terms of

Statute 66, appointment to the post of Laboratory Assistant in

private colleges by direct recruitment is permissible if qualified

hands are not available for promotion in the next lower categories.

The fact that the petitioners do possess all the qualifications

required to be considered for appointment to the post of Laboratory

Assistant by direct recruitment except the clearance of Attenders

Test is not in dispute. The fact that it is impossible for a candidate

aspiring appointment to the post of Laboratory Assistant in private

colleges by direct recruitment to clear Attenders Test is also not in

dispute. Similarly, there is also no dispute to the fact that the

proviso to Statute 41(12) permits the last grade staff in regular

permanent service of private colleges to be appointed by promotion

without clearing the Attenders Test subject to the condition that

they should clear the test in one of the five consecutive Attenders

Tests conducted by the Kerala Public Service Commission for the last

grade staff of private colleges. It is in the said circumstances, the

Government has evolved a via media to downgrade the post of

Laboratory Assistants in which the petitioners were appointed as

Office Attendants for a period of one year so that the petitioners

could be promoted after one year to the post of Laboratory

Assistants without clearing Attenders Test by extending to them the

benefit of the proviso to Statute 41(12). It is seen that it is having

regard to the fact that it is impossible for a candidate aspiring

appointment to the post of Laboratory Assistant in private colleges

by direct recruitment to clear Attenders Test and the fact that the

proviso to Statute 41(12) permits the last grade staff in regular

permanent service of private colleges to be appointed by promotion

without clearing the Attenders Test, subject to the condition that

they should clear the test in one of the five consecutive Attenders

Tests conducted by the Kerala Public Service Commission, the

learned Single Judge took the view that Statute 41(12) requires to

be interpreted harmoniously with Statute 66 and the only conclusion

that could be arrived at by giving such an interpretation is to hold

that the appointment can be made without insisting clearance of

Attenders Test and the appointees need to clear the Attenders Test

only as permitted in the proviso to Statute 41(12). It is fundamental

that the law does not compel an impossible act. Inasmuch as the

requirement in Statute 41(12) to clear Attenders Test for

appointment to the post of Laboratory Assistants by direct

recruitment is an impossible one, we are unable to find fault with

the learned Single Judge for having interpreted the provision in the

manner indicated in the judgment, or otherwise, the statute will not

be workable [See Sanjay Ramdas Patil v. Sanjay, (2021) 10 SCC

306]. In other words, we are inclined to agree with the view taken by

the learned Single Judge that the appointment of the petitioners as

Laboratory Assistants are in order. The argument advanced by the

learned Government Pleader that the petitioners were not qualified

to be considered for appointment as Laboratory Assistants, in the

circumstances, is liable to be rejected.

12. The materials on record would indicate that in

furtherance to a communication sent by the Government on

21.10.2014 (Annexure A4 in the appeals), the Management of the

College submitted a proposal (Annexure A5 in the appeals) for

downgrading the posts of Laboratory Assistants in which the

petitioners were appointed, for a period of one year and it is by

accepting the said proposal that the Government issued Ext.P10

order. The materials also indicate that pursuant to Ext.P10 order,

the petitioners have been appointed as Office Attendants by the

Management on 23.06.2015 with effect from their respective dates

of original appointments and they were promoted later as

Laboratory Assistants after a period of one year, after declaring

their probation in the post of Office Attendants. No doubt, it is a

case where the petitioners have accepted the course adopted by

the Management and the Directorate of Collegiate Education and

received pay and emoluments accordingly. It is thereafter that they

have approached this court for a declaration that their original

appointments were in order, and for consequential benefits. The

question is whether in a situation of this nature, the petitioners can

be said to be approbating and reprobating.

13. It is well settled that the law does not permit a

person to approbate and reprobate. In other words, a person who

maintained the stand that a transaction is valid for obtaining a

benefit, cannot maintain the stand that the transaction is void, for

obtaining another benefit. This rule is one evolved and applied to do

equity. As far as the case on hand is concerned, in light of the

interpretation given by the learned Single Judge to Statute 41(12) as

accepted by this Court, the petitioners were entitled to get their

appointments approved with effect from their initial dates of

appointments. As it is inequitable to deny the petitioners the

benefits which they are legitimately entitled to, merely for the

reason that they have received the pay and emoluments based on

the decision of the Government, the aim of equity being not to

frustrate legitimate rights, according to us, the principle aforesaid

cannot be applied to the facts of this case. The argument advanced

by the learned Government Pleader in this regard is also therefore,

liable to be rejected and we do so.

In the circumstances, the appeals are devoid of merits

and are accordingly, dismissed.
