JUDGMENT AND ORDER
(CAV)
This writ petition has been filed seeking issuance of a
writ of certiorari to quash the Notification bearing No.7/4/2015-
MPSC(DR), dated 5.7.2017, the amendment bearing No.7/4/2015-
MPSC(DR), dated 31.8.2017, issued by the Secretary, MPSC in
respect of only eleven posts of Child Development Project Officer
in Social Welfare Department and to quash the subsequent
advertisement bearing No.5/2018, dated 11.10.2018 issued by the
Secretary, MPSC for appointment to eight posts of Child
Development Project Officer in the Social Welfare Department,
Government of Manipur and to further direct the respondents to fill
up on regular basis the clear vacant posts of Child Development
Project Officer in Social Welfare Department, Government of
Manipur, falling against the promotion quota as per the relevant
recruitment rules of Child Development Project Officer in Social
Welfare Department, Government of Manipur, within a reasonable
time frame, prior to filling up of the posts falling against the direct
recruitment quota.
2. The facts in a nutshell are as under: According to the
petitioners, they are either working as Statistical Assistants or
Supervisors (ICDS) in the Social Welfare Department on regular
WP(C) No. 1002 of 2018 with MC(WP(C)) No. 228 of 2021 (Ref:- WP(C) No. 1002 of 2018)
P a g e | 32
basis for the last 27 to 32 years without getting any promotion since
their initial appointments. The next avenue of promotion for the
posts of Statistical Assistant and/or Supervisor (ICDS) is Child
Development Project Officer (ICDS). According to the petitioners,
there are altogether 43 sanctioned posts of Child Development
Project Officer in the Social Welfare Department, out of which 19
posts are held on regular basis and 24 posts are held on in-charge
basis and, therefore, the 24 posts are substantively vacant.
3. It is stated that for recruitment to the post of Child
Development Project Officer, the State Government framed the
Recruitment Rules called the Department of Social Welfare,
Manipur (Child Development Project Officer) Recruitment Rules,
2017. As per the said Rules of 2017, 75% of the vacancies are to
be filled by promotion and 25% by direct recruitment. Within the
promotion quota, 80% of the vacancies are to be filled by
Supervisors (ICDS)/Assistant Child Development Project Officer
(ICDS) with five years regular service in the grade and 20% of the
vacancies are to be filled up from Statistical Assistant with five years
regular service in the grade.
4. It is further stated that there are in all 452 posts in the
feeder cadres referred to above for promotion to the 43 posts of
Child Development Project Officer and due to lack of adequate
WP(C) No. 1002 of 2018 with MC(WP(C)) No. 228 of 2021 (Ref:- WP(C) No. 1002 of 2018)
P a g e | 33
number of posts in the cadre of Child Development Project Officer,
there is no career advancement for years and for many employees
the posts they hold in the feeder cadre turn out to be dead-end jobs.
5. It is the case of the petitioners that, at present, there
are 24 vacancies in the post of Child Development Project Officer,
of which 18 vacancies are to be filled by promotion and the
remaining 6 vacancies should be filled by direct recruitment as per
the Rules of 2017. However, the Secretary, MPSC, issued the
advertisement bearing No.5/2018, dated 11.10.2018 notifying eight
posts of Child Development Project Officer to be filled by direct
recruitment. The aforesaid advertisement is stated to be in
continuation of the earlier notification dated 5.7.2017, notifying
recruitment to various posts, including 11 posts of Child
Development Project Officer, which notification was amended by
the subsequent notification dated 31.8.2017.
6. The notifications dated 5.7.2017 and 31.8.2017 were
the subject matter of challenge in W.P. (C) Nos.535 and 830 of
2017. The said writ petitions were subsequently withdrawn based
on the assurance given by the authorities of the State Government
that the grievance of the Statistical Assistants and Supervisors with
regard to their promotion and calculation of quota would be
safeguarded.
WP(C) No. 1002 of 2018 with MC(WP(C)) No. 228 of 2021 (Ref:- WP(C) No. 1002 of 2018)
P a g e | 34
7. According to the petitioners, the calculation of
percentage of the quota for promotes and direct recruits is to be
done based on the available vacant posts as provided under the
Rules of 2017 and the notification of eight vacant posts of Child
Development Project Officer (ICDS) for filling up by direct
recruitment under the impugned notification is in excess of the
quota prescribed for direct recruitment and, therefore, the impugned
notification is liable to be quashed.
8. It is the further plea of the petitioners that many of the
personnel rendering regular service as Statistical Assistants and
Supervisors are due to retire shortly and they are entitled to be
considered for promotion against the available vacant posts of Child
Development Project Officer (ICDS) in the promotion quota as
statutorily provided under the Rules of 2017, prior to the
appointment of candidates by direct recruitment. It is added that the
non-consideration of the case of the petitioners for promotion
against the promotion quota and the eagerness to appoint Child
Development Project Officer by direct recruitment is highly arbitrary,
capricious, discriminatory and unconstitutional inasmuch as the
respondents have not treated the candidates who are due to be
promoted equally with the direct recruit candidates.
WP(C) No. 1002 of 2018 with MC(WP(C)) No. 228 of 2021 (Ref:- WP(C) No. 1002 of 2018)

9. The writ petition has been strongly opposed by the first
respondent/State Government. It is submitted that during the
pendency of the writ petition qua direct recruitment of 8 vacant posts
of Child Development Project Officer, 21 posts of Child
Development Project Officer meant for promotion quota were filled
by giving promotion amongst the eligible Supervisor/Statistical
Assistant/Asst. Child Development Project Officer vide Government
Order dated 25.11.2020. Therefore, it does not lie in the mouth of
the petitioners to plead that promotion quota vacancies are not
filled. It is further stated that, at present, there are 26 regular Child
Development Project Officers and they are all promotes. By virtue
of filling up of 21 posts of Child Development Project Officer by
promotion during the pendency of the writ petition, the same has
rendered infructuous and is liable to be dismissed.
10. It is further stated by the first respondent that the
Department has been providing benefits of financial upgradation to
employees who did not get promotion to higher posts. Three such
financial upgradations are allowed on completion of 10/20/30 years
of regular service counted from the date of entry.
11. It is the specific case of the first respondent that as per
the existing norms, allocation of seats for direct recruitment and
promotion is not based on the vacancy available, but it is based on
WP(C) No. 1002 of 2018 with MC(WP(C)) No. 228 of 2021 (Ref:- WP(C) No. 1002 of 2018)
P a g e | 36
total sanctioned posts. To buttress the aforesaid plea, a reference
has been given to the Office Memorandum No.1/17/20-
MPSC(RR)/DP, dated 9.10.2020. Out of 43 posts of Child
Development Project Officer, 32 posts are to be reserved for
promotion and 11 posts are to be reserved for direct recruitment.
The department has adhered to the Rules of 2017 and there is no
question of violation thereof. The cadre strength is to be calculated
by the number of posts comprising the cadre. Right to be
considered for appointment can only be claimed in respect of a post
in the cadre.
12. It is the case of the third respondent that it is the
prerogative of the State Government to increase or shrink the
sanctioned strength of posts and the Office Memorandum dated
9.10.2020 provides the ratio on the basis of total sanctioned posts
and thus the number of posts for direct recruitment comes to 11.
13. Heard learned counsel on either side and perused the
documents available on record.
14. At the outset, it is to be noted that pending the writ
petition, this court, by order dated 30.10.2018, allowed the
respondents to go ahead with the process of direct recruitment, with
the condition that the result shall not be declared without the leave
of the court. The order aforesaid is reproduced hereunder:
WP(C) No. 1002 of 2018 with MC(WP(C)) No. 228 of 2021 (Ref:- WP(C) No. 1002 of 2018)
P a g e | 37
"Heard Shri A. Bimol, learned Senior Counsel
appearing for the petitioners.
By the instant writ petition, the petitioners have
prayed for issuing a writ of certiorari to quash and
set aside the notification dated 5/7/2017, the
amendment dated 31/8/2017 and the
advertisement dated 11/10/2018 mainly on 2
(two) grounds -- one, the determination of the
number of posts is erroneous in view of the
Recruitment Rules and two, without process for
giving promotion to the petitioners being initiated,
the respondents have proceeded with the direct
recruitment of filling up of 8 (eight) vacancies.
In view of the above, let the petition be admitted
and notice be issued to the respondents
returnable on 23/11/2018 (Friday).
Shri H. Debendra, learned Government
Advocate accepts notice on behalf of
Respondent Nos. 1 & 2 and Dr. R.K. Deepak,
learned counsel accepts notice on behalf of
Respondent No. 3 and hence, no formal notice is
called for.
When the matter was listed yesterday, i.e.
29/10/2018 Shri H. Debendra, learned
Government Advocate was given time to seek
instructions in the matter and today, Shri H.
Debendra, learned Government Advocate has
submitted on instructions that the Department
WP(C) No. 1002 of 2018 with MC(WP(C)) No. 228 of 2021 (Ref:- WP(C) No. 1002 of 2018)
P a g e | 38
has agreed to the claim of the petitioners to
complete the process for promotion before the
completion of the direct recruitment process.
Respondent Nos. 1 & 2 are directed to file an
affidavit incorporating therein the instructions
given to the learned Government Advocate.
In view of the above said submission, the
respondents are permitted to go ahead with
the process for direct recruitment but the
result thereof shall not be declared without
the leave of this Court. However, it is open to
the State Government to approach this Court for
modification of this interim order. A copy of the
order may be furnished to Shri H. Debendra,
learned Government Advocate for doing the
needful."
[emphasis supplied]
15. However, it is seen that one Arbin Salam, who
appeared in the written examination conducted for direct
appointment to the vacant posts of Child Development Project
Officers, filed W.P.(C) No.517 of 2021 seeking, inter alia, to declare
the result of written examination conducted for appointment to the
post of Child Development Project Officer. In the said writ petition,
this court, by order dated 27.8.2021, directed the Public Service
Commission to declare the result of the written examination held in
pursuance of the impugned advertisement dated 11.10.2018 and
WP(C) No. 1002 of 2018 with MC(WP(C)) No. 228 of 2021 (Ref:- WP(C) No. 1002 of 2018)
P a g e | 39
conduct viva-voice. The said exercise was directed to be
undertaken within a period of three months from the date of receipt
of a copy of the said order.
16. As the Public Service Commission is bound to comply
with the direction of this Court dated 27.8.2021 passed in W.P. (C)
No.517 of 2021, they filed M.C.No.228 of 2021 to declare
vacate/modify the interim order dated 30.10.2018 passed in W.P.
(C) No.1002 of 2018.
17. At this juncture, it is apposite to refer to the Office
Memorandum dated 9.10.2020, by which an amendment of MPSC
Form 8 was effected as under:
"Method of recruitment whether by direct
recruitment or by promotion or by
deputation/transfer & percentage of the total
sanctioned post to be filled by various methods."
18. It is the case of the petitioners that the number of posts
to be filled up by promotion and direct recruitment should be
calculated based on the number of vacancies. Such submission of
learned counsel for the petitioners runs counter to the settled
principles of law. The Hon'ble Apex Court considered the difference
between "post" and "vacancy" and the right to be considered for
appointment/quota for each source of recruitment specified in the
WP(C) No. 1002 of 2018 with MC(WP(C)) No. 228 of 2021 (Ref:- WP(C) No. 1002 of 2018)
P a g e | 40
Rules in the case of Srikant Roy and others v. State of
Jharkhand and others, (2017) 1 SCC 457. In paragraph 24 of the
said judgment, it has been held as under:
"24. The High Court has overlooked the distinction
between "post" and "vacancy". If the requisite posts
were already exhausted by the direct recruits
against the earmarked quota for direct recruitment,
merely because some vacancies occur, it would not
be open to the aspiring candidates against the
direct recruit quota to challenge the selection
process commenced for the in service judicial
officers by promotion through Limited Competitive
Examination. The cadre strength is always
measured by the number of posts comprising
the cadre. The right to be considered for
appointment can only be claimed in respect of a
post in the given cadre. The percentage of quota
has to be worked out in relation to number of
posts which form the cadre and has no
relevance to the vacancy that would occur. This
aspect has been glossed over by the High Court in
the impugned judgment. Suffice it to observe that as
no post for direct recruits existed as on 30th April,
2008, the challenge to the selection process to fill
up the vacancy by promotion through Limited
Competitive Examination, at the instance of
aspiring candidates by direct recruitment cannot be
countenanced. The Writ Petition filed by such
aspiring candidates (WP(S) No. 4159/2008),
WP(C) No. 1002 of 2018 with MC(WP(C)) No. 228 of 2021 (Ref:- WP(C) No. 1002 of 2018)
P a g e | 41
therefore, ought to have been dismissed by the
High Court."
[emphasis supplied]
19. The Hon'ble Apex Court had emphatically held that the
percentage of quota has to be worked out in relation to number of
posts which form the cadre and has no relevance to the vacancy
that would occur. Therefore, the entire argument of learned counsel
for the petitioners for fixation of the number of posts based on the
vacancies has no legs to stand and is a misconception.
20. Moreover, the State Government by dint of the Office
Memorandum dated 9.10.2020 is empowered to increase or shrink
the sanctioned strength of posts and provides the ratio on the basis
of total sanctioned posts and not on the number of vacancies.
21. It is beyond any demur that during the pendency of the
writ petition, 21 posts of Child Development Project Officer were
filled by giving promotion to the eligible Supervisor/Statistical
Assistant/Asst. Child Development Project Officer vide Government
Order dated 25.11.2020. Thereafter, by order dated 9.3.2022, the
Government of Manipur, appointed many of the petitioners herein
to the post of Child Development Project Officer by way of
promotion. Therefore, it cannot be pleaded by the petitioners that
WP(C) No. 1002 of 2018 with MC(WP(C)) No. 228 of 2021 (Ref:- WP(C) No. 1002 of 2018)
P a g e | 42
they are working in dead-end jobs and were deprived of their
promotion.
22. For the foregoing reasons, we do not find any merit in
this writ petition and the same is accordingly liable to be dismissed.
23. Consequently,
a) the writ petition is dismissed;
b) M.C. (WP(C)) No.228 of 2021 to vacate the
interim order dated 30.10.2018 passed in
W.P. (C) No.1002 of 2018 is allowed.
c) The Respondent authorities may proceed
further and complete the direct recruitment
process in accordance with law.
d) There will be no order as to costs.
