BY ADVS. M.GOPIKRISHNAN NAMBIAR K.JOHN MATHAI JOSON MANAVALAN KURYAN THOMAS PAULOSE C. ABRAHAM THIS CONTEMPT OF COURT CASE (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 05.08.2021, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING:
JUDGMENT
This contempt case has been filed by the petitioners on the
allegation that, in spite of the specific directions in the judgment
dated 18.01.2021 in W.P.(C) No.7868 of 2019, the respondent has not reported the available vacancies in their services to the Kerala Public Service Commission (PSC), on or before 28.01.2021. However, the learned counsel for the respondent - Sri.Jaya Mohan, submits that a counter affidavit has been filed, wherein, it has been clearly averred that there are only 5 sanctioned posts of Security Staff, which have all been filled up through the PSC and that there are 8 others, who are working on supernumerary posts, along with another 19 on contract basis. He submits that since there are only 5 sanctioned posts, while the other persons are being engaged beyond it on temporary basis, no violation of the
judgment can be alleged by the petitioners, since this Court had
only directed the respondent to report their existing and sanctioned posts, to which the mode of appointment, as per the Special Rules, is direct recruitment. He submitted that since all the sanctioned posts have been reported to the PSC and have been already filled up, the petitioners cannot maintain any grievance against this respondent. I find substantial force in the submissions of Sri.Jaya Mohan, since all the sanctioned posts in the company in question appear to have been already reported to the PSC and filled up under their advices. Obviously, therefore, if the petitioner has any grievance that the other persons are working illegally or that the company ought not to engage persons more than on the sanctioned strength, they must invoke the other remedies, rather than pursue this Contempt case. In such circumstances, this contempt case is closed with the afore liberty being reserved to the petitioner.
