JUDGMENT
[OP(KAT) Nos.493/2023, 494/2023, 498/2023, 544/2023]
A. Muhamed Mustaque, J.
These original petitions arise from an interim order
passed by the tribunal which would unsettle many of the
rights of the parties if such an order is allowed to stand. We
remind ourselves that in a matter like this, the tribunal should
not pass such an interim order inasmuch as it would have a
far reaching consequences which sometime becomes
irreversible also. Having said so, we note from the facts that
the petitioners before the tribunal are included in the selected
list for appointment as Principals of the Government Colleges
in the State. It appears that the Government doubted the
evaluation of the articles published in the journals and kept
the selection on hold without appointing them. At this
juncture, the teachers who are included in the list approached
the tribunal.
O.P. (KAT)Nos.493, 494, 498 & 544 of 2023
..22..
2. The tribunal, initially, passed an order to appoint all
the teachers included in the selected list for appointment as
Principals. Thereafter, the tribunal passed an order stating
that the appointment will be provisional. Whether there is
any reason for non appointing them is a matter to be
ultimately decided at the final stage. One of the orders
passed by the tribunal, in fact, permitted fresh selection,
which according to us, is unwarranted at this stage unless
final decision is taken in the matter. Therefore, we are of the
view that all the impugned orders except order for making
provisional appointment from the selected list have to be set
aside to enable the tribunal to consider the matter afresh
regarding the reasons for non appointing the persons included
in the selected list after hearing all.
3. We make it clear that all the appointments so far
made will be subject to the outcome of the original
application.
Considering the nature of issue and some of the
contesting respondents are pressing for an early hearing and
O.P. (KAT)Nos.493, 494, 498 & 544 of 2023
..23..
hearing the submission of the learned Senior Government
Pleader- Sri.Antony Mukkath, we request the tribunal to
consider and dispose of the matter at the earliest.
