JUDGMENT
[OP(KAT) Nos.285, 307 & 343 of 2015 and 374 & 364 of 2019]
A. Muhamed Mustaque, J.
These cases arose from the year 2008 onwards.
Subsequently, on the constitution of the Tribunal, the cases were
transferred to the Tribunal. The matter is related to the
seniority in the Jail Subordinate Service. Almost all are retired
from the service except a few. It is to be noted that
subsequently, all of them have also been promoted to various
posts, including to selection posts.
However, the learned counsel for the petitioner in O.P.
(KAT) No.374 of 2019 would submit that even though the
petitioner retired from the service, he was denied the promotion
with no reason, and he was overlooked while promoting his
juniors. It is submitted that though he was subsequently
promoted, he had a grievance against the promotion of his
juniors ahead of him. It is to be noted that even if his argument
is accepted, no relief can be granted to him in view of the fact
2025:KER:40527
OP(KAT) Nos.285, 307 & 343 of 2015 and 374 & 364 of 2019
that juniors are also now retired from the service, and he cannot
be given pay in retrospective effect for the simple reason that he
has not continued in the post. Anyway, his pensionary benefits
also will not be affected, as he was promoted subsequently. In
these situations, all these matters are dismissed as infructuous.
