A. Muhamed Mustaque, J.
These original petitions have been filed by the applicants
in the original applications before the tribunal as well as the
Kerala Public Service Commission and the Government. The
Kerala Public Service Commission invited applications to the
post of Reserve Watchers/Depot Watcher/Survey Lascars/TB
Watchers/Bunglow Watchers/Depot and Watch Station
Watcher/PlantationWatchers/Maistries/TimberSupervisors/Tope
Warden/Thana Watcher/Dispensary Attendant in the forest &
Wildlife Department. The prayers in the original applications
were that the official respondents should report all existing and
anticipated vacancies in the category to the Kerala Public
Service Commission and to stay the regularisation of
contractual/daily waged/temporary employees, who were
O.P. (KAT) No.439 of 2022 and Connected Cases
..30..
working as watchers in the Department of Forest.
2. The tribunal declining the prayers ordered that
those who are included in the ranked list should be advised by
the Kerala Public Service Commission to engage them as
temporary hands. As aggrieved by the order, some of the
applicants approached this Court. The Kerala Public Service
Commission and the Government also filed original petitions
challenging the directions of the tribunal.
3. We heard the learned counsel Sri. Sabarinadh,
appeared for the private parties, the learned Government
Pleader, the learned Standing Counsel for the Kerala Public
Service Commission and other counsel appeared in these
matters.
4. It is to be noted that there are impleading petitions
filed by the third parties as i.e. I.A Nos.1 of 2024 in OP (KAT)
Nos.439 of 2022 and 354 of 2023 for getting impleaded
themselves in these original petitions. They were not parties
to the proceedings before the tribunal. They are now
supporting the case of the applicants. We cannot allow such
applications in this matter for the sole reason that neither they
O.P. (KAT) No.439 of 2022 and Connected Cases
..31..
have approached the tribunal nor they were parties to the
proceedings before the tribunal. In a proceedings under
Article 227 of the Constitution of India, we cannot now
expand the consideration at the instance of third parties, who
were not parties before the tribunal. Thus, we dismiss these
applications.
5. Coming back to the merit of the case, the learned
counsel for the petitioner - Sri.Sabarinadh argued in extenso
and submitted that Annexure A12 produced before the tribunal
would reveal that there were 952 daily wage hands out of
1049 sanctioned posts. It is submitted that in a clandestine
manner, in violation of the dictum laid down in Secretary,
State of Karnataka and Others v. Umadevi (3) and
Others [(2006) 4 SCC 1], the temporary hands have been
regularised which in turn, denied an opportunity to the
candidates who are included in the list prepared by the Kerala
Public Service Commission. It is to be noted that none of the
temporary hands, who were regularised, were parties before
the tribunal. Therefore, we are of the view that the challenge
raised against the regularisation is not maintainable before the
O.P. (KAT) No.439 of 2022 and Connected Cases
..32..
tribunal for the simple reason that all the affected persons
were not impleaded. Thus, the challenge on that ground must
fail.
6. The second ground on which the challenge is made
is that there were substantial vacancies even after the
regularisation of temporary employees and by an interim order
of the tribunal, there was a direction to report all such
vacancies before the expiry of the ranked list. The ranked list
expired on 20.12.2021. It is to be noted that in paragraph 20
of the impugned judgment, the tribunal considered this aspect
and observed that in respect of all provisionally reported
vacancies, advice have been made. If the ranked list is
expired, no further advice can be made. In such
circumstances, we are of the view that no advice can be made
after the expiry of the ranked list as the Kerala Public Service
Commission has issued advice to all the substantial vacancies
reported. Therefore, we find absolutely no merit in these
original petitions filed by the applicants.
7. Coming back to the challenge made by the Kerala
Public Service Commission and the Government, the tribunal
O.P. (KAT) No.439 of 2022 and Connected Cases
..33..
ordered that candidates included in the ranked list should be
preferred as against them when engagement as daily wages or
on contract basis is made. The tribunal also directed the
Kerala Public Service Commission to furnish a copy of the
ranked list for appointment as temporary hands. It is to be
noted that this relief is granted without such a prayer being
made by the applicants before the tribunal.
8. Rule 9 of KS&SSR states about the engagement as
temporary hands and in what manner it has to be operated.
Normally, it is operated through the employment exchange of
the District. We are of the view that such a relief granted
which did not arise in the original petition would amount to
abdication of jurisdiction of the tribunal.
We leave it open the issue whether they can prefer such
a claim or not is a matter to be decided independently in
appropriate case. It depends upon the number of vacancies
and who are all eligible. The applicants before the tribunal
may be or may not be entitled for such claim. Anyway, such a
relief cannot be granted in the original petitions, which were
filed only seeking regular appointment based on the ranked
O.P. (KAT) No.439 of 2022 and Connected Cases
..34..
list. We, therefore, leave this issue open. Accordingly, the
original petitions filed by the Kerala Public Service Commission
and the Government stand allowed and the original petitions
filed by the applicants in original application (i.e., O.P. (KAT)
Nos.439 of 2022 and 354 of 2023) stand dismissed.
