JUDGMENT
~~~~~~~~~
The petitioners in these writ petitions are working
as Operators in the Kerala Water Authority. The writ petitions
have been filed seeking to direct the State of Kerala to
finalise the Draft Technical Service Rules for the Kerala
Water Authority and to include the category of Operators also
in PSC Notifications for recruitment to the posts of Assistant
Engineers.
2. For convenience, the parties and exhibits are
referred to in this judgment as they are arrayed and marked
W.P.(C) No.30716/2019 & connected cases
in W.P.(C) No.30716/2019.
3. The petitioners state that they have been working
as Operators in the Kerala Water Authority (KWA). They
have B.Tech qualifications. By Ext.P1 notification dated
31.12.2012, the Kerala Public Service Commission invited
applications for recruitment to the post of Assistant Engineer
in the KWA. LDCs with six year experience and First and
Second Grade Overseers with two years experience were
made eligible to apply for the post under the 10% in-service
quota. The petitioners rue that the 2 nd respondent-KWA has
omitted to include the category of Operators in Ext.P1
notification along with LDCs and Overseers. The PSC
examination and selections is over.
4. The petitioners submitted representations
requesting the KWA to include the Operators like the
petitioners having six years service and prescribed
qualification in the zone of consideration for selection to the
post of Assistant Engineers in the in-service quota. As the
Draft Technical Service Rules have not been implemented by
W.P.(C) No.30716/2019 & connected cases
the KWA so far, the petitioners are incapacitated to apply for
appointment to the post of Assistant Engineers in the in-
service quota.
5. The petitioners contend that the category of
Operators are drawing salary in the same pay scale as that
of the 3rd Grade Overseers and LDCs. Therefore, when 3rd
Grade Overseers and LDCs are included in the PSC
notification, the petitioners who are Operators could not have
been excluded. The exclusion offends Article 14 of the
Constitution of India.
6. There are 1726 posts of Operators in KWA. Only
345 of them would get promotion as Head Operators. Only
six among them would be promoted to the post of
Mechanical Superintendents. Their promotional avenues
are thus limited. In the circumstances, the 1 st respondent-
State of Kerala is duty bound to implement the Draft
Technical Service Rules. Non-consideration of Operators
like the petitioners who are having sufficient educational
qualification for appointment to the posts of Assistant
W.P.(C) No.30716/2019 & connected cases
Engineers while persons from other categories are appointed
as Assistant Engineers, is highly illegal and discriminatory,
contend the petitioners.
7. The petitioners pointed out that in W.P.(C)
No.10988/2017, this Court had directed the Government to
take a decision on the Draft Technical Service Rules. In the
judgment in W.P.(C) No.9877/2014 also, this Court had
directed the State of Kerala to take steps to finalise the Rules
as expeditiously as possible. The respondents have given
scant regard to the judgments of this Court. In the
circumstances of the case, the State of Kerala is compellable
to finalise the Draft Technical Service Rules and the Public
Service Commission is liable to include the category of
Operators for appointment to the post of Assistant Engineer
against the in-service quota vacancies, contend the
petitioners.
8. The Kerala Public Service Commission (PSC)
resisted the writ petitions. On behalf of the PSC, it is
submitted that Special Rules for the Technical Staff of the
W.P.(C) No.30716/2019 & connected cases
KWA have not been framed. Therefore, recruitment
notification for the post of Assistant Engineers was published
as per the Special Rules of Kerala Public Health Engineering
Subordinate Service Rules (PHED). Recruitment rules are
framed by the respective Departments of the Government in
consultation with the Commission. Which should be the
categories to be included as feeder categories for
appointment/promotion to a post, is primarily for the
employer to decide. The category of Pump Operator was not
included as a feeder category for Assistant Engineer in the
Special Rules of PHED.
9. The Commission further submitted that Draft
Special Rules for Engineering Technical Staff of KWA was
received by the Commission on 03.12.2010 from the Water
Resources Department. The Commission tendered its advice
on 11.05.2011. The State Government did not give its nod
for finalisation of the recruitment rules. Subsequently, a
modified Draft Service Rules for the Engineering Technical
Staff has been forwarded to the Commission. The
W.P.(C) No.30716/2019 & connected cases
Commission is examining the Draft Rules and advice would
be tendered without delay.
10. The Kerala Water Authority filed counter affidavit
in W.P.(C) No.1860/2021. On behalf of the KWA, it is
submitted that the sanctioned strength of Assistant
Engineers in KWA is 404. Out of the total sanctioned
strength, 242 posts are reserved for Degree holders, 122
posts for Diploma holders and 40 posts for Certificate
holders. 10% of Degree quota is reserved for in-service
recruitment. Persons qualified for the 10% Degree quota are
appointed from a rank list published, after test and interview.
11. The KWA is following the Kerala Water Authority
Engineering Service Rules, 2021 and the Rules do not
provide provision for an Operator to be appointed or
promoted to the post of Assistant Engineer. The Draft of
KWA Technical Service Rules, 2019 is in discussion at
various stages. Based on the directives from the
Government, the Draft was revised and resubmitted on
20.12.2021. There is no violation of any fundamental right or
W.P.(C) No.30716/2019 & connected cases
statutory right of the petitioners. The claim of the petitioners
is unsustainable. The writ petitions are therefore liable to be
dismissed.
12. I have heard the learned counsel for the
petitioners, the learned Government Pleader representing
State of Kerala and the learned counsel appearing for the
Kerala Water Authority and the Kerala Public Service
Commission.
13. The petitioners state that they are working as
Operators and have more than six years experience. LDCs
and Overseers with similar qualifications are made eligible
and are included as feeder categories for appointment as
Assistant Engineers against 10% in-service quota vacancies.
According to the petitioners, going by the qualifications
possessed and nature of duties discharged by the Operators,
they are also suitable to discharge the duties of Assistant
Engineers like the LDCs and Overseers who are included in
feeder category.
14. The petitioners would submit that promotional
W.P.(C) No.30716/2019 & connected cases
avenues available to Operators are limited, unlike in the case
of LDCs and Overseers. Taking into consideration the
requirements of the establishment, the KWA had proposed
promulgation of Technical Service Special Rules. The
Government is sitting over the proposal in spite of the
directions given by this Court in W.P.(C) Nos.9877 of 2014
and 10988 of 2017, contend the petitioners.
15. It is seen from the pleadings that as there were no
Special Rules for recruitment to the post of Assistant
Engineer, the KWA has been following the PHED Rules for
direct recruitment of in-service employees to the cadre of
Assistant Engineers. The relevant rule is as follows:
Method of Appointment-Draftsman Grade-I and II,
Water Works Inspector, Drainage Inspector,
Overseer Grade-I and II, Works Superintendent
Grade-I and II cadres having two years of service,
Clerks having minimum 6 years of service,
Overseer Grade-III having minimum 3 years of
service in Kerala Water Authority can apply for
direct recruitment to the post of Assistant Engineer.
16. Under the PHED Rules, only Draftsman Grade-I
and II, Water Works Inspectors, Drainage Inspectors,
W.P.(C) No.30716/2019 & connected cases
Overseers Grade-I, II and III, Works Superintendents Grade-I
and II and Clerks having certain minimum periods of service
were made eligible for direct recruitment as Assistant
Engineers against the 10% in-service quota. The petitioners,
who are Operators having B.Tech qualification, are not
included in the feeder categories.
17. Proposals have been pending for inclusion of
Operators also in the feeder categories, since the year 2010.
Draft Technical Service special Rules for Engineering
Technical Staff were sent by the then Water Resources
Department to the PSC in December, 2010. The PSC
tendered their advice on 11.05.2011. However, the
Government did not pass final order in this regard.
18. Later, a modified Draft Service Rules for the
Engineering/Technical Staff were forwarded to the
Commission which contemplated inclusion of Operators also
in the feeder categories. Thereafter, taking into consideration
the judgment dated 23.12.2022 of this Court in W.P.(C)
Nos.36752 and 36809 of 2022, the KWA promulgated the
W.P.(C) No.30716/2019 & connected cases
Kerala Water Authority Technical Service Rules as per Extra
Ordinary Gazette No.358 dated 30.01.2023 and published
GO(P) No.1/2023/WRD dated 27.01.2023.
19. As per the Kerala Water Authority Technical
Service Rules, the Operators like the petitioners seeking
direct recruitment to the in-service quota vacancies of
Assistant Engineers can apply and aspire for appointment
upto the attainment of 50 years of age. In view of the
promulgation of the Kerala Water Authority Technical Service
Rules, the substantial prayer of the petitioners in the writ
petitions is met.
20. What remains is the prayers of the petitioners to
include the Operators also in the PSC Notifications
published. The PSC Notification for recruitment to in-service
quota was prior to the promulgation of the Kerala Water
Authority Technical Service Rules on 30.01.2023. The
petitioners cannot legally aspire for including their posts in
PSC Notification without amending the Recruitment Rules.
The Hon'ble Apex Court, considered the issue of inclusion of
W.P.(C) No.30716/2019 & connected cases
categories/posts for appointments in the absence of enabling
recruitment rules. The Apex Court, overruling the judgment in
Y.V. Rangaiah v. Sreenivasa Rao [(1983) 3 SCC 284], held
in the judgment in State of Himachal Pradesh and others
v. Raj Kumar and others [2022 SCC Online 680] that there
is no right for the employee outside the rule governing the
service. When the subsequent Rules come and there is no
provision in the said Rules to enable any employee to be
considered as per old Rules, the matter must end there. A
Division Bench of this Court followed the said judgment in
Mehaboob P.M. v. State of Kerala [2022 (4) KLT 653]. The
law is therefore clear that the rights and obligations of the
persons serving the Union and the States are to be sourced
from the Rules governing their service. As the petitioners
were not eligible for appointment as Assistant Engineers till
30.01.2023, the PSC cannot be directed to consider the
candidature of the petitioners in any selection process
conducted prior to 30.01.2023.
21. For all the afore reasons, the KWA or PSC cannot
W.P.(C) No.30716/2019 & connected cases
be directed to consider the petitioners for appointment to the
in-service quota vacancies of Assistant Engineers against the
vacancies notified by the PSC prior to the promulgation of
the Kerala Water Authority Technical Service Rules.
The writ petitions are therefore dismissed as
infructuous.
