JUDGMENT
~~~~~~~~~
All these writ petitions relate to appointment to the post
of HSST Junior (Zoology) in the BMHSS, Kottayam and
appointment to the post of HSST (Zoology) in BHHSS,
Mavelikkara. Hence, they are heard together and disposed of
by a common judgment. The parties and exhibits are referred
to in this judgment as they are described/marked in W.P.(C)
No.3501/2025, for convenience.
2. Corporate Manager of CMS Schools,
Kottayam is the petitioner in W.P.(C) No.3501/2025. The
2026:KER:12512
W.P.(C) No.3501/2025 & connected cases
petitioner seeks to set aside Ext.P17 order dated 18.12.2024 of
the 1st respondent-State of Kerala and to direct the 4th
respondent-Regional Deputy Director to approve the
appointment of the 5th respondent as HSST Junior (Zoology) in
BMGHSS, Kottayam with effect from 06.06.2019 and as HSST
(Zoology) in BHHSS, Mavelikkara with effect from 01.06.2020.
3. W.P.(C) No.3546/2025 is filed by the 5th
respondent (who is presently working as HSST under the
petitioner) in W.P.(C) No.3501/2025 seeking the same relief.
W.P.(C) No.3584/2025 is filed by the 6th respondent in W.P.(C)
No.3501/2025 and who was appointed as HSST Junior under
the petitioner, seeking to approve the appointment of the 6th
respondent as HSST Junior (Zoology) from 06.06.2019 and
HSST (Zoology) from 01.06.2022 in implementation of Ext.P17
order.
4. W.P.(C) No.6890/2025 has been filed by one
Aswathy Alex, who is also working as HSST (Zoology) in CMS
2026:KER:12512
W.P.(C) No.3501/2025 & connected cases
HSS, Mallappally seeking to quash order dated 10.01.2025 to
the extent of refusing to approve her appointment, from
11.07.2023.
5. The petitioner in W.P.(C) No.3501/2025 states
that he is the Corporate Manager of CMS Schools, a corporate
educational agency of CSI Madhyakerala Dioceses, Kottayam.
The educational agency runs a number of Schools. When a
vacancy of HSST Junior (Zoology) arose in BMHSS, Kottayam
on 01.06.2017 consequent to the promotion of Smt. Elizabeth
Mathew, a notification was issued. Another vacancy of HSST
(Zoology) arose in BHHSS, Mavelikkara consequent to the
transfer of Smt. Elizabeth Mathew, HSST (Zoology) to
BMGHSS, Kottayam. Ext.P2 notification dated 15.06.2018 was
published to fill up the said post.
6. The 5th respondent submitted Ext.P4
application and the 6th respondent submitted Ext.P3 application.
The 5th respondent had prior experience as Guest Lecturer and
2026:KER:12512
W.P.(C) No.3501/2025 & connected cases
Teacher in various Colleges/Schools. Selection Committee
constituted had a nominee who was Additional Secretary to
Government. In the interview conducted, the 5 th respondent
stood at rank No.1 and the 6th respondent stood at rank No.2.
7. Therefore, the 5th respondent was appointed
as HSST (Zoology) in BHHSS, Mavelikkara and the 6 th
respondent was appointed as HSST Junior (Zoology) in
BMHSS, Kottayam. While so, one Smt. Susan Goerge, HSST
(Natural Science), BIGHSS, Pallom raised a claim for by-
transfer appointment to the post of HSST Junior (Zoology)
submitting an application dated 14.06.2019. She also claimed
appointment by transfer to the post of HSST (Zoology), against
the post to which the 5th respondent was appointed.
8. The 4th respondent heard the petitioner and
the 6th respondent and directed the petitioner to make by-
transfer appointment to the post of HSST Junior in BMGHSS,
Kottayam. The 3rd respondent also considered the claim raised
2026:KER:12512
W.P.(C) No.3501/2025 & connected cases
by Susan George for appointment to the post of HSST
(Zoology) in BHHSS, Mavelikkara in which the 5th respondent
was appointed. The 3rd respondent ordered by-transfer
appointment against the said vacancy.
9. Though the petitioner challenged the two
orders passed in favour of the said Susan George, the
Government issued Ext.P9 order dated 18.12.2020 rejecting
the challenge against Exts.P7 and P8 orders. In W.P.(C)
No.2548/2021 filed by the said Smt. Susan George, this Court
directed the petitioner to prepare the seniority list of HSST
(Zoology). Accordingly, the petitioner prepared the seniority list
and forwarded to the 2nd respondent.
10. The Government ordered appointment of Smt.
Susan George as HSST (Zoology) in BHHSS, Mavelikkara with
effect from 06.06.2019 notionally after cancelling the
appointment given to the 5th respondent. The petitioner shifted
the 5th respondent as HSST Junior in BMHSS, Kottayam with
2026:KER:12512
W.P.(C) No.3501/2025 & connected cases
effect from 06.06.2019, considering her rank in the common
rank list, her age and her experience. Consequently, the
appointment of the 6th respondent was cancelled.
11. The petitioner issued Ext.P12 order confirming
the cancellation of appointment of the 6th respondent. The 6th
respondent challenged Ext.P12 in W.P.(C) No.30477/2022.
The 6th respondent again filed a revision before the 1st
respondent and W.P.(C) No.33403/2022 in this Court. This
Court directed the 1st respondent to consider the revision
petition as per Ext.P14 judgment. The 1st respondent allowed
the revision filed by the 6th respondent and directed approval of
appointment of the 6th respondent as HSST Junior (Zoology)
with effect from 06.06.2019.
12. The petitioner states that Ext.P17 order is
illegal. When, among the two vacancies notified, one vacancy
was not available, the 5th respondent who is the first rank holder
ought to have been appointed in the available vacancy. In
2026:KER:12512
W.P.(C) No.3501/2025 & connected cases
W.P.(C) No.3546/2025, the 5th respondent also took the same
stand.
13. In W.P.(C) No.3584/2025, the 6th respondent
stated that she was appointed as HSST Junior (Zoology) after a
selection process and that the 5th respondent has no claim over
the post. However, the Manager ordered to shift the 5th
respondent to the post occupied by the 6th respondent. The 6th
respondent stated that there are many number of vacancies of
HSST (Zoology) and HSST Junior (Zoology) available under
the Management and hence there is no requirement for
accommodating the 5th respondent or for cancelling the
appointment of the 6th respondent.
14. In W.P.(C) No.6890/2025, the petitioner
Aswathy Alex submitted that she is presently working as HSST
(Zoology) in CMS HSS, Mallappally on promotion on
11.06.2023. In fact, she was eligible for promotion as HSST in
2018 itself. The said Aswathy Alex stated that in the year 2019,
2026:KER:12512
W.P.(C) No.3501/2025 & connected cases
there were 7 vacancies available for by-transfer appointment in
the cadre of HSST Junior. She is entitled to get promoted to
any one of the remaining vacancies of HSST Junior in the year
2019.
15. In W.P.(C) No.3501/2025, the Regional
Deputy Director filed a counter affidavit. The Regional Deputy
Director submitted that Smt. Susan George was appointed as
HSST (Zoology) after cancelling the appointment given to the
5th respondent. As per Ext.P17, the Government issued order
directing to appoint the 6th respondent as HSST Junior with
effect from 06.06.2019 and as HSST (Zoology) with effect from
01.06.2022. Before issuing Ext.P17 order, all parties
concerned were heard and the facts were thoroughly verified
and confirmed by the 1st respondent. Therefore, there is no
illegality in Ext.P17.
16. The petitioner filed a counter affidavit in W.P.
(C) No.6890/2025. The petitioner submitted that the
2026:KER:12512
W.P.(C) No.3501/2025 & connected cases
appointment of Aswathy Alex with effect from 11.07.2023 is
maintainable. But, she is ineligible for appointment as HSST /
HSST Junior against any vacancy prior to 22.07.2018 as
Aswathy Alex did not possess SET qualification.
17. I have heard the learned counsel for the
petitioners in all the writ petitions and the learned Government
Pleader representing the 1st respondent.
18. Considering the facts emerging from the
pleadings, it is evident that the issue arose due to the failure on
the part of the Manager to draw seniority lists promptly and due
to an integrated selection made for appointment to the post of
HSST and HSST Junior, though separate notifications were
published and separate applications were invited for
appointment to both the posts.
19. Ext.P1 is the notification for appointment to
the post of HSST Junior and Ext.P2 is the notification for
recruitment of HSST. The 5th respondent in her Ext.P4
2026:KER:12512
W.P.(C) No.3501/2025 & connected cases
application, has indicated that the application is for appointment
to the post of HSST (Zoology). At the same time, Ext.P3
application submitted by the 6th respondent does not give the
name of the post but only states that the application is for
appointment in the subject Zoology. The Selection Committee
proceeded to make a consolidated select list for both the posts.
Ext.P6 rank list would show that the 5th respondent was ranked
No.1 and the 6th respondent was ranked No.2.
20. The 5th respondent was appointed as HSST
(Zoology) in the Mavelikkara School and the 6th respondent was
appointed as HSST Junior (Zoology) in Kottayam School. Both
the appointments were made on 01.06.2019. One HSST under
the Corporate Management Smt. Susan George filed W.P.(C)
No.17533/2019 seeking appointment to one of the posts of
HSST. Pursuant to the common judgment in W.P.(C)
No.7009/2021 and W.P.(C) No.2548/2021, this Court delivered
judgment dated 30.06.2022, pursuant to which the aforesaid
2026:KER:12512
W.P.(C) No.3501/2025 & connected cases
Smt. Susan George had to be given by-transfer promotion as
HSST.
21. In order to appoint the said Susan George as
HSST, the 5th respondent was removed from the said post and
Smt. Susan George was appointed as HSST. As the 5th
respondent was rank No.1 in the merit list, the Manager
deemed it fit to remove the 2 nd rank holder - 6th respondent from
the post of HSST Junior and to accommodate the 5th
respondent against that post. It is the legality of the said
appointment which is in issue.
22. Had the Management resorted to separate
selection process and had drawn separate rank list for the two
vacancies of HSST and HSST Junior, the issue would not have
arisen. This should have been so done, especially in view of
the fact that the recruitment to the two posts was pursuant to
two different recruitment notifications.
2026:KER:12512
W.P.(C) No.3501/2025 & connected cases
23. When Smt. Susan George is appointed as
HSST, it is the 5th respondent who will have to be removed from
the post of HSST in order to accommodate Susan George.
The 6th respondent had worked as HSST Junior (Zoolog)y in
the Kottayam School from 06.06.2019 to 25.07.2022 against a
promotion vacancy. The Director of General Education has
directed that the 6th respondent can be appointed in the
vacancy of HSST which arose in the CHMHSS, Mallappally on
01.04.2022. In the consequential vacancy of HSST Junior
(Zoology), the 5th respondent also can be accommodated. It is
in these circumstances that the 1st respondent directed that the
5th respondent be accommodated as HSST Junior (Zoology) in
Kottayam Baker Memorial School.
24. As far as Smt. Aswathy Alex (petitioner in
W.P.(C) No.6890/2025) is concerned, her claim is against the
vacancy of HSST (Zoology) in CMS HSS, Mallappally with
effect from 11.07.2023. In Ext.P3 order dated 10.01.2025, it
2026:KER:12512
W.P.(C) No.3501/2025 & connected cases
has been found that the 6th respondent has superior claim over
the post. Therefore, the claim of the said petitioner in W.P.(C)
No.6890/2025 is unsustainable.
25. In the afore facts of the case, I find no illegality
in Ext.P17 G.O.(MS) dated 18.12.2024. The writ petitions are
therefore disposed of as follows:
(i) W.P.(C) No.3501/2025, W.P.(C)
No.3546/2025 and W.P.(C) No.6890/2025 are
dismissed.
(ii) W.P.(C) No.3584/2025 is disposed of
directing the respondents to grant approval to
the appointment of the petitioner effected as
per Ext.P1.
