[OP(KAT) Nos.85/2023, 452/2023, 460/2023, 79/2024, 296/2024, 481/2024]

JUDGMENT "C.R"
Dated this the 12th day of February, 2025
A.Muhamed Mustaque, J.
The dispute in this case revolves around the procedure followed
by the Kerala Public Service Commission (PSC) in preparing two lists
of suitable candidates for recruitment. The first list consists of
candidates with higher qualifications, while the second list includes
those with lower qualifications. As per Rule 12.A of the Kerala Public
Service Commission Rules of Procedure, candidates with lower
qualifications will only be considered if there are no candidates
available with higher qualifications. The rule also specifies that List
II will be used only when there are no candidates in List I.
2. The key issue for consideration in this case is how this rule
should be applied to candidates from reserved categories. The PSC
took the position that if no Scheduled Tribe candidates were available
in List I, they could recommend candidates from List II. However,
the Tribunal held that candidates from List II could only be advised
[OP(KAT) Nos.85/2023, 452/2023, 460/2023, 79/2024, 296/2024, 481/2024]
2025:KER:11878
after exhausting List I. The primary question, therefore, is whether
List I must be fully exhausted before advising candidates from List
II.
3. The PSC Rules of Procedure do not have any statutory
backing; they are meant to ensure transparency in decision-making
and to guide the selection process. There is no dispute regarding the
suitability of candidates from both lists. As per the note to Rule 14(e)
of the Kerala State & Subordinate Services Rules, 1958, "suitable
candidates" shall mean candidates with notified minimum
qualifications and marks in selection procedure lowered to the extent
necessary.
4. On 11/09/2017, the PSC issued a circular stating that
there is no requirement to exhaust List I before operating List II. If
no reserved category candidates are available in List I, List II can be
used without fully utilizing List I. This circular was not challenged in
this case.
5. The prescribed qualifications for the post in question are
as follows:
[OP(KAT) Nos.85/2023, 452/2023, 460/2023, 79/2024, 296/2024, 481/2024]
2025:KER:11878
"(A) (i) Diploma in Agricultural Science awarded by the Kerala
Agriculture University or its equivalent.
In the absence of qualified hands under item (i) above:
(ii) Vocational Higher Secondary Certificate in Agriculture.
In the absence of qualified hands under item (i) & (ii):
(iii) (1) Pass in SSLC or its equivalent with Agriculture as
an optional subject
OR
(2) Pass in SSLC or its equivalent and a recognised
training in Agriculture
OR
(3) Post Basic School Leaving Certificate with
Agriculture as an optional
(B) Good subject physique."
Based on these qualifications, the PSC prepared two lists: List I and
List II. There is no restriction preventing the PSC from recommending
candidates from List II while List I is in force, provided no suitable
candidates are available in List I for the specific category as per the
roster turn. If this procedure is not followed, the PSC will have to
issue a fresh notification for No Candidate Available vacancies.
6. Rule 12.A of the Kerala Public Service Commission Rules
of Procedure does not explicitly mandate that List I must be fully
exhausted before advising candidates from List II. Instead, it states
[OP(KAT) Nos.85/2023, 452/2023, 460/2023, 79/2024, 296/2024, 481/2024]
2025:KER:11878
that List II becomes operational if no candidates are available in List
I.
7. The PSC follows roster turn advice as against the turn-in
roster point. This means that the process in Rule 12.A applies
category-wise, not list-wise. The reservation of appointments and
communal rotation will have to apply for all suitable candidates
included in List I and List II, giving precedence to candidates included
in List I, this is the purport of Rule 12.A. If Rule 12.A is not
interpreted harmoniously to work out reservation of appointments,
the very purpose of preparation of List II will become otiose as on
exhaustion of List I, after advising candidates from general merit,
PSC will have to resort for fresh notification. This was never intended
under Rule 12.A. Thus, the PSC correctly interpreted its procedure
and issued the 2017 circular accordingly.
8. The PSC's decision to advise candidates from List II in the
absence of suitable candidates in List I is legally valid and justified.
