These writ petitions pertain to the appointment of Head-
teachers in the Upper Primary/Lower Primary Schools with
specific reference to Rule 18(1) of the Kerala Right of Children to
Free and Compulsory Education Rules, 2011.
2. The conditions of service of aided school teachers were
prescribed under Chapter XIVA of the Kerala Education Rules,
1959 (hereinafter referred to as the ‘KER’). Rule 45B provided
for the obligatory qualifications for teachers seeking promotion
as Headmasters of LP/UP Schools. Sub-rule (1) thereto provided
that an Account Test (Lower) conducted by the Kerala Public
W.P(C) No.34092 of 2019 60
and con. cases 2025:KER:16003
Service Commission shall be an obligatory qualification. Sub-rule
(2) provided exemption from the requirement for the
qualification under sub-rule (1) as against those who were
holding the post of Headmaster in the LP/UP Schools as on the
date of introduction of Rule 45B and sub-rule (3) extended a
temporary exemption to those teachers awaiting promotion as
Headmasters from the requirement of sub-rule (1) till
31.03.1988. At the same time, sub-rule (4) extended a complete
exemption from the rigor of sub-rule (1) for those teachers who
have attained the age of 50 years.
3. The Right of Children to Free and Compulsory
Education Act, 2009, (hereinafter referred to as the ‘Central Act’)
was introduced by the parliament to provide free and compulsory
education to all children of the age of 6-14 years. The Central
Government framed the Right of Children to Free and
Compulsory Education Rules, 2010 (hereinafter referred to as the
‘Central Rules’) in exercise of the rule-making power under
W.P(C) No.34092 of 2019 61
and con. cases 2025:KER:16003
Section 38 of Central Act. The State Government, too, came out
with the Kerala Right of Children to Free and Compulsory
Education Rules, 2011 (hereinafter referred to as the ‘Kerala
Rules’) under Section 38 of the Act. Rule 18 of the Kerala Rules
originally provided as under:-
“18. Duties to be performed by Head-teacher and
Teachers.- (1) The Head-teacher shall be a person having a
minimum of twelve years of teaching experience and
possessing pass in such departmental tests and test on Kerala
Education Act and Rules as may be specified in that regard:
Provided that teachers in service shall be given time up to
three years to pass the above tests.”
Thus, under the provisions of Rule 18, the Head-teacher was to
be a person with a minimum of 12 years of teaching experience
and a pass in such departmental tests and test on the Kerala
Education Act and Rules, as specified. The proviso to Rule 18(1)
extended a period of three years to those teachers who were in
service, to pass the above test.
W.P(C) No.34092 of 2019 62
and con. cases 2025:KER:16003
4. A Division Bench of this Court in Thomas v. Joint
Secretary, General Education Department [2020 (1) KLT
840] was called upon to consider the question as to whether the
test qualifications under Rule 18(1) of the Kerala Rules are
mandatory as regards the teachers who have attained the age of
50 years. It was contended before this Court by the teachers who
had obtained the qualifications, that there can be no appointment
as Head-teachers without the qualifications as specified.
Teachers who have already attained the age of 50 years and who
are disabled on account of the non-acquisition of the test
qualification, relied on the proviso to Rule 18(1) to contend that
they have a window of three years for acquiring the qualification.
The Division Bench of this Court found that the proviso cannot
be found as having exempted such qualifications for a period of
three years or permitted appointment of unqualified teachers as
Head-teachers, subject to qualification being obtained within
three years. The Division Bench of this Court considering the
W.P(C) No.34092 of 2019 63
and con. cases 2025:KER:16003
afore situation, held that since the proviso extends three years
for acquisition of required qualification for those who have
attained 50 years of age, the same has to be given due effect,
that there can be no appointment/promotions of persons who are
not qualified in accordance with Rules, that the unqualified senior
teacher would be entitled to appear for the test and acquire the
qualification within three years, in which event the senior will be
entitled to seek promotion and the junior has to be reverted and
senior to be promoted as the Head-teacher. It was clarified by
this Court categorically, that the proviso does not enable the
State to make appointments in violation of Rules. It was also
made clear that the proviso would have application only for three
years from 06.03.2018.
5. The afore judgment of the Division Bench of this Court
was challenged before the Apex Court and by an order dated
17.06.2020, the Apex Court ordered that “the concerned parties
shall maintain status -quo as on today.”
W.P(C) No.34092 of 2019 64
and con. cases 2025:KER:16003
6. It is in the afore background that the Government
came out with G.O.(P)No.19/2020/G.Edn. dated 23/12/2020
published as S.R.O.No.898/2020 produced as Ext.P10 in
W.P(C)No.10721 of 2021, by substituting the existing proviso to
Rule 18(1) referred to above, as under;
“Provided that teachers who are otherwise eligible for being
promoted as Head teachers shall be exempted from passing such
departmental test on Kerala Education Act and Rules on or after
attaining the age of 50 years.”
Thus, the Government extended an exemption to teachers on
attaining the age of 50 years from passing the departmental test,
etc., prescribed under sub-rule (1). The afore
amendment/substitution is also given retrospective effect from
30.04.2011- the date of introduction of the Kerala Rules. The
afore S.R.O.No.898/2020 stood superseded by the
G.O.(P)No.1/2021/G.Edn. dated 05/01/2021 published as
S.R.O.No.18/2021 produced as Ext.P11 in W.P(C)No.10721 of
2021, noticing that in the substituted proviso referred to above,
W.P(C) No.34092 of 2019 65
and con. cases 2025:KER:16003
the words “test and” were omitted to be included on account of
which intention of the Government was not fully made out.
Therefore, after the supersession as above, the proviso read as
under:-
“Provided that teachers who are otherwise eligible for being
promoted as Head teachers shall be exempted from passing such
departmental tests and test on Kerala Education Act and Rules
on or after attaining the age of 50 years.”
By virtue of the afore, the Government extended exemption to
those teachers who have attained the age of 50 years from
passing the department tests/test prescribed under Rule 18(1)
of Kerala Rules.
7. It is in the backdrop of all the above that the
controversy raised in this batch of writ petitions has arisen. For
instance, the petitioner in W.P(C)No.10721 of 2021, claims that
she was ranked No.8 in the overall seniority list of teachers
working in the school managed by the 4th respondent therein, in
comparison to the 5th respondent who was ranked No.9. It is
W.P(C) No.34092 of 2019 66
and con. cases 2025:KER:16003
pointed out that the teacher at rank No.7 was below 50 years of
age and was not entitled to the benefit of exemption. The
petitioner points out that when the incumbent Headmistress
went on preparatory leave prior to retirement on 11.11.2019, the
5th respondent was appointed in the vacancy violating the
seniority as above. True, the petitioner admits that she had not
obtained the test qualifications at that point of time. However,
the petitioner obtained the required qualifications on 01.03.2021
as evidenced by Ext.P4 test results, and since that was within
the period of three years from 06.03.2018 as laid down by this
Court in Thomas (supra), the petitioner was to be appointed as
the Headmistress. However, by virtue of the exemption provided
under the proviso to Rule 18(1) referred to above, the petitioner
contends that her claim is not being considered. In
W.P(C)No.1895/2019, the petitioner contends that she was
denied the post of Headmistress, and 4th respondent, who was
claiming the exemption, was appointed in the said post.
W.P(C) No.34092 of 2019 67
and con. cases 2025:KER:16003
Similarly, in W.P(C)No.111/2021, the petitioner contends that
she had already been appointed as Headmistress and the said
appointment was not being approved on account of the rival
claim raised by the 6th respondent claiming the exemption
extended as above.
8. In the light of the above, the prayers raised in these
writ petitions, broadly are as under: –
i. To declare S.R.O.No.898/2020 and S.R.O.No.18/2021
as ultra vires to the Constitution of India and the Central
Act.
ii. In the alternative, to declare the retrospective operation
of S.R.O.No.18/2021 as illegal and unenforceable.
iii. To declare the prescription of the qualifications under
Rule 18 of the Kerala Rules as Ultra vires the Central
Act.
9. I have heard Smt. M.A.Vaheeda Babu, Sri. K.T.Shyam
W.P(C) No.34092 of 2019 68
and con. cases 2025:KER:16003
Kumar, Dr. George Abraham, Sri. K.R.Ganesh, Sri. Fayas, Sri.
K.A.Mohamed Haris, Sri. Joseph Thekkekuruvinal and Sri.
P.M.Pareeth for the respective parties. I have also heard Sri.
Antony Mukkath, the learned Senior Government Pleader for the
State.
10. Sri. P.M.Pareeth, the learned counsel for the petitioner
in W.P(C) No.24328 of 2023, took a different line and contended
that the very provisions of Rule 18(1) of the Kerala Rules are
ultra vires to Section 23(1) of the Central Act. He has contended
with reference to the facts and circumstance pointed out in the
writ petition that the petitioner therein was the senior most
teacher entitled for appointment as Headmistress with effect
from 01.04.2020 and though such a request was made on
retirement on the incumbent, the manager appointed the 7th
respondent who was junior to the petitioner. The petitioner seeks
to challenge Ext.P8 by which the petitioner is denied the benefit
by the Manager relying on Rule 18(1) of the Kerala Rules since
W.P(C) No.34092 of 2019 69
and con. cases 2025:KER:16003
the petitioner did not have the qualification required.
11. Sri. Pareeth, would contend that Rule 18(1) of the
Kerala Rules is ultra vires to Section 23 of the Central Act read
with Section 38 thereunder. It is his contention that Section 23
prescribes the qualifications required for appointment as teacher
and under Section 38(2)(l), the Government has the power to
make rules with respect to the salary/allowance payable to the
teachers alone.
12. Insofar as the afore contention, if accepted, would
make the consideration of the other two issues, purely academic,
I proceed to consider the said issue as the preliminary issue
arising for consideration.
13. The Apex Court in the State of T.N. and Another V.
P. Krishnamurthy and Others [(2006) 4 SCC 517], laid
down the following broad principles while considering a challenge
to a subordinate legislation:-
“15. There is a presumption in favour of constitutionality or
W.P(C) No.34092 of 2019 70
and con. cases 2025:KER:16003validity of a subordinate legislation and the burden is upon
him who attacks it to show that it is invalid. It is also well
recognised that a subordinate legislation can be challengedunder any of the following grounds:
(a) Lack of legislative competence to make the subordinate
legislation.
(b) Violation of fundamental rights guaranteed under the
Constitution of India.
(c) Violation of any provision of the Constitution of India.
(d) Failure to conform to the statute under which it is made
or exceeding the limits of authority conferred by the
enabling Act.
(e) Repugnancy to the laws of the land, that is, any
enactment.
(f) Manifest arbitrariness/unreasonableness (to an extent
where the court might well say that the legislature
never intended to give authority to make such rules).”
The challenge raised in these writ petitions as above is to be
evaluated on the touchstone of the afore principles laid down by
the Apex Court.
14. True, Section 23 of the Central Act provides for the
prescription of the minimum qualifications by the Authority to be
authorized by the Central Government for appointment as a
“teacher”. Section 38 provides for the rule-making power of the
W.P(C) No.34092 of 2019 71
and con. cases 2025:KER:16003
“appropriate Government”. The term appropriate Government
includes the State Government under Section 2(a)(ii)(A). Section
38 to the extent relevant herein reads as under:-
“38. Power of appropriate Government to make
rules.-
(1) The appropriate Government may, by
notification, make rules, for carrying out the
provisions of this Act.
(2) In particular, and without prejudice to the
generality of the foregoing powers, such rules
may provide for all or any of the following
matters, namely:-
……….
(l) the salary and allowances payable to, and the
terms and conditions of service of, teacher, under
sub-section (3) of Section 23;”
Sri. Pareeth relies on Section 38(2)(l) to contend that the State
Government can only prescribe salary/allowances to teachers
under the Central Act.
W.P(C) No.34092 of 2019 72
and con. cases 2025:KER:16003
15. However, it is to be noticed that 38(1) and (2) of the
Central Act lie independent of each other. Section 38(1) entitles
the State Government to make rules for “carrying out the
provisions of this Act.” Section 38(2) is in no way curtailing the
rule-making power of the Government under 38(1). Section
38(2) can only be considered as illustrative, not limiting the
power under 38(1) in any manner. This is made clear using the
words “without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing
powers”. Thus, even on the face of Section 38(2), the statute
reserves the rights of the “appropriate Government” to make
rules “for carrying out the provisions of this Act”.
16. In this connection, I notice the judgment of the Apex
Court in State of Kerala v. Appukutty [AIR 1963 SC 796]
wherein the Apex Court considered an identical provision under
Section 19(1) and 19(2)(f) of the Madras General Sales Tax Act,
1939. It was contended that the Rules made under the rule-
making power by the State under which the impugned notices
W.P(C) No.34092 of 2019 73
and con. cases 2025:KER:16003
were issued were ultra vires to the substantive provisions of
Section 19(2)(f). The Apex Court noticed that Section 19(1)
permitted the State Government to make Rules to carry out the
purposes of the Act whereas sub-section (2) used the same
expression “without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing
power” before laying down illustrative matters, for the Rules to
be made. Considering the afore situation, Apex Court held as
under:-
“4. …….It is true that the substantive provisions of the Act
do not expressly deal with the power and procedure for
assessment of escaped turnover, the legislature has left it to
be dealt with by statutory rules to be framed under s. 19, and
r. 17 has been framed thereunder. Rule 17(1) and (3A) ex
facie properly fall under s. 19(2)(f). In any event as was said
by the Privy Council in King Emperor v. Sibnath Banerji (1945)
L.R. 72 IndAp 241, the rule making power is conferred by sub-
s. (1) of that section and the function of sub s. (2) is merely
illustrative and the rules which are referred to in sub-s. 2 are
authorised by and made under sub-s. 1. The provisions of
sub-s. 2 are not restrictive of sub-s. (1) as expressly stated
in the words “without prejudice to the generality of the
foregoing power” with which sub-s. (2) begins and which
words are similar to the words of sub-s. (2) of s. 2 of the
W.P(C) No.34092 of 2019 74
and con. cases 2025:KER:16003Defence of India Act which the Privy Council was considering.
Now sub-s. 1 of s. 19 of the Act provides that “the State
Government may make rules to carry out the purposes of this
Act” and the long title of the Act is an Act to provide for the
levy of general tax on the sale of goods in the State of Madras.
Therefore in our opinion r. 17 and the various clauses thereof
made under s. 19 are not beyond the rule making power of
the State Government as contained in s. 19.”
The afore observations of the Apex Court are applicable to the
case at hand also.
17. Academy of Nutrition Improvement and Others
v. Union of India [(2011) 8 SCC 274], again considered a
similar issue with reference to the rule-making power of the
subordinate legislation holding as under:-
“66. Statutes delegating the power to make rules follow a
standard pattern. The relevant section would first contain a
provision granting the power to make rules to the delegate in
general terms, by using the words “to carry out the provisions
of this Act” or “to carry out the purposes of this Act”. This is
usually followed by another sub-section enumerating the
matters/areas in regard to which specific power is delegated
by using the words “in particular and without prejudice to the
generality of the foregoing power, such rules may provide for
W.P(C) No.34092 of 2019 75
and con. cases 2025:KER:16003all or any of the following matters”. Interpreting such
provisions, this Court in a number of decisions has held that
where power is conferred to make subordinate legislation in
general terms, the subsequent particularisation of the
matters/topics has to be construed as merely illustrative and
not limiting the scope of the general power. …..”
To the same effect is the judgment of the Apex Court in the State
of Jammu and Kashmir v. Lakhwinder Kumar and Others
[(2013) 6 SCC 333].
18. In the light of the afore, I notice that Section 38(1) of
the Central Act empowers the Government’s rule-making powers
in general terms, and Section 38(2) has only enumerated some
of the areas in which the rule-making power can be exercised.
In that view of the matter, reliance placed on Section 38(2)(l) to
contend that Rule 18(1) of the Kerala Rules is ultra vires to the
rule-making power cannot be accepted.
19. Section 38(1) of the Central Act, on the other hand,
empowers the State Government also to make rules for carrying
out the provisions of the Central Act. The Kerala Rules have been
W.P(C) No.34092 of 2019 76
and con. cases 2025:KER:16003
framed in exercise of the powers under Section 38(1) as above.
Therefore, the challenge raised to the provisions of Rule 18 as
ultra vires to the Central Act is only to be repelled.
20. The next issue arising for consideration is as to
whether S.R.O.No.898/2020 and S.R.O.No.18/2020 are ultra
vires to the Constitution of India and the Central Act. The learned
counsel for the petitioner would rely on the judgment of the Apex
Court in State of Uttar Pradesh and Another v. Anand
Kumar Yadav and Another [2018 (13 SCC 560] in support
of the afore contention.
21. In State of Uttar Pradesh and Another v. Anand
Kumar Yadav and Another (supra), the Apex Court considered
a situation where the State Government introduced certain
provisions to the Uttar Pradesh Rules framed under the Central
Act authorizing the State Government to relax the minimum
education qualifications of the persons who were appointed as
assistant teachers. On the basis of the afore, notifications were
W.P(C) No.34092 of 2019 77
and con. cases 2025:KER:16003
issued as per which “Shiksha Mitras” was added as a source for
recruitment of teachers. The Apex Court noticed the notification
issued under Section 23(1) of the Central Act by the National
Council for Teachers’ Education (NCTE) prescribing the minimum
qualification required for appointment as teachers. It is in the
afore context that the Apex Court upheld the findings of the
Allahabad High Court that the State Government had no power
to relax the qualification prescribed under Section 23(1) of the
Central Act by the NCTE and hence, Rule 16A authorizing such
relaxation is ultra vires to the rule-making power of the State
Government.
22. In the backdrop of the afore judgment, it is to be
noticed that the prescription of qualifications under Section 23(1)
by NCTE was for appointment as “teachers”. The present dispute
in these cases is with reference to the qualification required for
those seeking appointment as “Head-teacher”. The NCTE has
only prescribed the qualifications for appointment to the post of
W.P(C) No.34092 of 2019 78
and con. cases 2025:KER:16003
“teacher”. It is only under the Kerala Rules that the word “Head-
teacher” is defined. When that be so, it cannot be said that the
prescription under Rule 18(1) of the Kerala Rules is beyond the
power of the State Government as laid down under Section 38 of
the Central Act. I am of the opinion that the judgment of the
Apex Court would not apply for the afore reason.
23. Insofar as the NCTE has only prescribed the
qualifications required for appointment as a “teacher”, I am of
the opinion that the contention raised by the petitioners that it is
only the said authority which is capable of prescribing
qualification for appointment as “Head-teacher” is only to be
recorded and rejected.
24. At the same time, the question arises as to whether
the notifications, insofar as they introduced an exemption from
the obligatory qualification under Rule 18(1) of the Kerala Rules
in the form of a “proviso” can be sustained, as contended by
some of the counsel.
W.P(C) No.34092 of 2019 79
and con. cases 2025:KER:16003
25. As already noticed, the Division Bench of this Court in
Thomas (supra) categorically found that Rule 18(1) of the Kerala
Rules is to be followed mandatorily and even on the face of the
proviso as it exists up to 23.12.2020 on which date
S.R.O.No.898/2020 was issued, no one could be appointed as
Head-teacher without the required qualifications.
26. It is the afore prescription that is sought to be upset
by the proviso as introduced by S.R.O.No.898/2020 and replaced
by S.R.O.No.18/2021. By virtue of the proviso, teachers who
have attained the age of 50 years are exempted from passing
the departmental test prescribed under Rule 18(1). The Apex
Court in S.Sundaram Pillai and Others v. V.R.
Pattabhiraman and Others [(1985) 1 SCC 591] has laid
down the following as the functions of a proviso: –
“43. We need not multiply authorities after authorities on this
point because the legal position seems to be clearly and
manifestly well established. To sum up. a proviso may serve
four different purposes:
W.P(C) No.34092 of 2019 80
and con. cases 2025:KER:16003
(1) qualifying or excepting certain provisions from the main
enactment:
(2) it may entirely change the very concept of the intendment
of the enactment by insisting on certain mandatory conditions
to be fulfilled in order to make the enactment workable:
(3) it may be so embedded in the Act itself as to become an
integral part of the enactment and thus acquire the tenor and
colour of the substantive enactment itself; and
(4) it may be used merely to act as an optional addenda to
the enactment with the sole object of explaining the real
intendment of the statutory provision.”
It is in the light of the afore principles, the scope and purport of
the impugned proviso is to be considered.
27. As already noticed, the qualifications for the post of
Headmaster in UP Schools were prescribed in Rule 45B of KER.
Sub-rule (1) thereto provided for the obligatory qualifications.
Sub-rule (4) at the same time extended a complete exemption
from the requirement under sub-rule (1) for those teachers who
have attained the age of 50 years. As already noticed, NCTE has
prescribed qualifications for appointment as a teacher alone. In
other words, no qualifications are prescribed for appointment to
W.P(C) No.34092 of 2019 81
and con. cases 2025:KER:16003
the post of “Head-teacher”. The qualifications required for
appointment as Head-teacher are prescribed under Rule 18(1).
The prescription under Rule 18(1) of the Kerala Rules is almost
similar to the prescription contained under Rule 45B (1) of
Chapter XIVA of the KER. The Government has only extended the
exemption to the teachers who have attained the age of 50 years
under Rule 45B(4) in the impugned proviso introduced by
S.R.O.No.898/2020 and S.R.O.No.18/2021. This Court also
notices that under Rule 13B of the Kerala State and Subordinate
Service Rules, 1958, every Government employee who attained
the age of 50 years is entitled to exemption from passing the
obligatory test for seeking promotion. I find no valid reason to
accept the challenge against the introduction of the proviso as
above. The contention raised by some of the petitioners that the
Proviso runs against the spirit of Rule 18(1) and hence is
contradictory is also not to be accepted in the light of the above
finding. In my opinion, the proviso is having an independent
W.P(C) No.34092 of 2019 82
and con. cases 2025:KER:16003
existence which is permissible going by the principles laid down
by the Apex Court in Sundaram Pillai(supra).
28. Dr. George Abraham, the learned counsel for the
petitioners in W.P(C) No.39881 of 2022, also relied on the order
dated 17.06.2020 of the Apex Court in the Special Leave Petition
filed against the judgment in Thomas (supra) to contend that
the Apex Court while issuing notice, ordered the concerned
parties to maintain status quo and hence, S.R.O.No.898/2020
and S.R.O.No.18/2021 ought not to have been issued. True, the
Apex Court directed the parties to maintain status quo. However,
that was only with reference to the claim between the competing
teachers which was the subject matter of consideration before
the Division Bench of this Court in Thomas (supra). That does
not mean that the rule-making power of the State under Section
38 of the Central Act is curtailed.
29. The last issue arising for consideration is whether the
retrospectivity provided to the substitution of the proviso by
W.P(C) No.34092 of 2019 83
and con. cases 2025:KER:16003
S.R.O.No.18/2021, is valid. The petitioners contend that
S.R.O.No.18/2021 was issued on 05.01.2021 with retrospective
effect from 30.04.2011. They contend that there cannot be any
retrospective operation insofar as the teachers had a legitimate
expectation for getting appointed on the basis of Rule 18(1) and
proviso therein as they stood originally. The petitioners contend
that on account of the substituted proviso, as noticed earlier, a
new set of teachers also seek a claim for appointment to the post
of Head-teacher to their detriment. In such circumstances, the
petitioner contends that retrospectivity, is to be declared
arbitrary.
30. I have considered the afore submissions. In The
Punjab State Cooperative Agricultural Development Bank
Ltd. v. The Registrar, Cooperative Societies and Others
[(2022) 4 SCC 363], the Apex Court noticed the earlier law on
the point and summarised the legal position as under:-
“49. The exposition of the legal principles culled out is that an
W.P(C) No.34092 of 2019 84
and con. cases 2025:KER:16003amendment having retrospective operation which has the
effect of taking away the benefit already available to the
employee under the existing rule indeed would divest the
employee from his vested or accrued rights and that being so,
it would be held to be violative of the rights guaranteed under
Articles 14 and 16 of the Constitution.”
I am of the opinion that the principles laid down in the afore
judgment would apply to the facts and circumstances of the case
at hand also. On account of the law, as it stood prior to
S.R.O.No.18/2021, teachers had a vested right to seek
appointment to the post of Head-teacher. When that be so, the
subsequent substitution to the proviso, extending an exemption
to another set of teachers, in my opinion, takes away the valid
right available to the teachers seeking appointment to the post
of Head-teacher. Therefore, their vested rights are affected.
Hence, the notification S.R.O.No.18/2021 and for that matter,
S.R.O.No.898/2020 cannot have retrospective operation.
31. In this connection, Sri.Antony, the learned Senior
Government Pleader, relied on the judgment of a Full Bench of
W.P(C) No.34092 of 2019 85
and con. cases 2025:KER:16003
this Court in Narayanan v. Vijayalakshmi [2024 (3) KLT
116], rendered following dictum laid down by the Apex Court in
State of Haryana and Others v. Mahabir Vegetable Oils
Private Limited [(2011) 3 SCC 778], wherein the
retrospectivity provided to the 3rd proviso to Rule 44A (1) of
Chapter XIVA of the KER was upheld by this Court. But, the Full
Bench was considering the provisions of the 3rd proviso to Rule
44A (1) of Chapter XIVA of the KER by which benefits extended
to teachers who have attained the age of 50 years were curtailed
to some extent. The Full Bench found that the benefit under the
2nd proviso was a concession and there is no prohibition in
depriving the said concession retrospectively. The Full Bench also
referred to the findings rendered by the Apex Court in State of
Haryana and Others (supra), which held that the beneficiary of
such a concession has no legally enforceable right and it can be
taken away at any point of time. Thus, it is only on the basis of
the nature of the benefit which was taken away, that Full Bench
W.P(C) No.34092 of 2019 86
and con. cases 2025:KER:16003
upheld the retrospectivity.
32. As against the afore, in the case at hand, certain
teachers were entitled to promotion on the basis of the provisions
of Rule 18(1) as it originally stood, on account of which a vested
right had accrued, which could not be divested retrospectively.
Hence, I declare that S.R.O.No.18/2021 can only have
prospective operation.
On the whole, these writ petitions would stand disposed of
by holding that the amendment brought through
S.R.O.No.898/2020 and S.R.O.No.18/2021 would only have
prospective operation. The official respondents in these writ
petitions to pass appropriate orders with respect to the
respective parties in these writ petitions in the light of the afore
declaration within a period of four weeks from today.
