JUDGMENT
Dated this the 10th day of April, 2025 Petitioners 1, 2 and 10 to 14 were appointed as HSTs and UPSTs under the 7th respondent-Corporate Manager. Approval was granted to their appointments on regular pay scale, but on provisional basis. Petitioners 3 to 9 were appointed on daily wage basis. The petitioners would submit that approval on regular basis was not granted to all the petitioners alleging that the PwD candidates were not appointed against the reservation points.
2. The petitioners would submit that the Corporate Manager has appointed one physically disabled candidate as per Ext.P13. Furthermore, for the post of HST (Hindi) and HST (Physical Science), the Corporate Manager has submitted requisition to the Employment Exchange and the Employment Exchange could not sponsor any candidate in view of non-availability of qualified physically disabled persons.
3. Exts.P31 and P32 are the non-availability certificate. The Corporate Manager submitted fresh requisition again, for sponsoring PwD candidates, which is evident from Exts.P33 to P35. Still the Employment Exchange could not sponsor any eligible qualified candidate.
4. The petitioners would submit that the issue came up for consideration before the Hon’ble Apex Court and the Apex Court has passed Ext.P36 order making it clear that if sufficient vacancies are earmarked for PwD candidates, then the regular appointments can be made and approved on regular basis, in respect of other vacancies. The prayer of the petitioners is to consider the issue of approval of the petitioners on regular basis in the pay scale in the light of
Ext.P36 order of the Hon'ble Apex Court.
5. Government Pleader entered appearance and resisted the writ petition. The Government Pleader pointed out that there may be other shortfalls / defects in the appointments of the petitioners. Therefore, a direction to grant appointment on permanent basis cannot be given in this writ petition. Educational Authorities will have to consider individual claims made, on the basis of Ext.P36 order and other attendant circumstances.
6. I have heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Government Pleader representing respondents 1 to 6.
7. Petitioners 1, 2 and 10 to 14 were granted appointment on pay scale on provisional basis, which would indicate that the appointments are otherwise in order. As far as petitioners 3 to 9 are concerned, their claim for regular appointment has to be considered in the light of Ext.P36 order of the Hon’ble Apex Court and other factors relevant for appointments.
8. In the circumstances, the writ petition is disposed of with the following directions to the respondents:
(i) Respondents 3 and 4 are directed to consider the case of approval of petitioners 1, 2 and 10 to 14 in the light of Ext.P36 order of the Hon'ble Apex Court, Ext.P37 Government Order and Ext.P40 judgment of this Court. Orders in this regard shall be passed within a period of two months.
(ii) As far as approval of petitioners 3 to 9 are concerned, the 1st respondent is directed to
consider Ext.P39 Revision Petition and pass appropriate orders thereon, within a period of four months, adverting to Exts.P32 to P37. Sd/- N.NAGARESH JUDGE spk
