                                      JUDGMENT

Anil K. Narendran, J.

Since common issue is raised in these original petitions, they are heard and being disposed of by this common judgment.

2. O.P.(KAT)No.138 of 2023:- The petitioners are respondents 3 and 4 in O.A.(EKM)No.268 of 2023 on the file of the Kerala Administrative Tribunal, Additional Bench, Ernakulam. The said original application was one filed by respondents 1 and 2 herein-applicants, seeking an order to set aside Annexure A8 addendum/erratum notification dated 01.02.2023 issued by the Kerala Public Service Commission-1st petitioner herein; a declaration that the applicants are fully entitled to retain the position assigned to them in Annexure A3 probability list and Annexure A4 ranked list and to retain the appointment granted to them as Lower Division Clerk (Tamil and Malayalam knowing), pursuant to the advice made by the Kerala Public Service Commission; and a direction to the Kerala Public Service Commission not to alter the position assigned to the applicant in Annexure A3 probability list and Annexure A4 ranked list.

2.1. In O.A.(EKM)No.268 of 2023, the Tribunal passed 8 O.P.(KAT)Nos.138, 145 & 147 of 2023 2025:KER:65720 Ext.P2 interim order dated 09.02.2023, staying further proceedings for cancellation of advice based on the erratum notification published as per Annexure A8. Feeling aggrieved by the said interim order, the petitioners-respondents 3 and 4 have filed this original petition, invoking the supervisory jurisdiction of this Court under Article 227 of the Constitution of India.

2.2. On 03.04.2023, when this original petition came up for admission, a Division Bench of this Court issued notice before admission. Respondents 1 and 2-applicants entered appearance through counsel and the learned Government Pleader took notice on admission for respondents 3 and 4. Paragraphs 3 and 4 of the interim order dated 03.04.2023 read thus;

"3. The counsel for respondents informs us that the respondents, having been put in a very difficult situation, are working out the remedies available in law by filing the O.A. The options available under review may not be understood as having been considered by this Court.

4. After hearing the learned counsel for considerable length of time, we are convinced that the case on hand comes within the exception in entertaining an original petition. Having taken note of the circumstances in which the Tribunal has passed the interim direction, we are of the view that the interim order virtually amounts to, on 9 O.P.(KAT)Nos.138, 145 & 147 of 2023 2025:KER:65720 the one hand, stopping the petitioners herein from implementing the directions issued by the Tribunal in O.A(EKM) No.251 of 2022 and on the other hand, not allowing the Public Service Commission to take consequential steps in this behalf. While suspending the interim order under challenge, this Court directs the Public Service Commission not to give effect to the implementation of the final order in O.A(EKM) No.251 of 2022."

3. O.P.(KAT)No.145 of 2023:- The petitioners are respondents 1 to 3 in O.A.(EKM)No.253 of 2023 on the file of the Kerala Administrative Tribunal, Additional Bench, Ernakulam. The said original application was one filed by respondents 1 to 3 herein-applicants, seeking an order to quash Annexure A11 addendum/erratum notification dated 01.02.2023 issued by the Kerala Public Service Commission-1st petitioner herein, to the extent it seeks to delete the applicants from Annexure A3 Probability list; a direction to the 2nd respondent Secretary of Kerala Public Service Commission to refrain from cancelling Annexures A5 to A7 advice memos issued to the applicants to the post of Clerk (Tamil and Malayalam knowing); and a declaration that Annexures A5 to A7 advice memos issued to the applicants are not liable to be cancelled and the applicants are 10 O.P.(KAT)Nos.138, 145 & 147 of 2023 2025:KER:65720 entitled to continue in service as per Annexures A8 and A9 appointment orders.

3.1. In O.A.(EKM)No.253 of 2023, the Tribunal passed Ext.P2 interim order dated 07.02.2023 staying further action, if any, for cancellation of the advice of the applicants pursuant to Annexure A11 notice, for a period of one month. By Ext.P3 order dated 02.03.2023 of the Tribunal, the said interim order was extended by one month. Feeling aggrieved by Exts.P2 and P3 interim orders, the petitioners have filed this original petition.

3.2. On 29.03.2023, when this original petition came up for admission, the Division Bench of this Court admitted the matter on file. The learned counsel took notice for respondents 1 to 3-applicants and the learned Government Pleader took notice for respondents 4 and 5. By the order dated 29.03.2023, while listing this original petition along with O.P.(KAT)No.130 of 2023 on 10.04.2023, the Division Bench made it clear that taking note of a similar order stated to have been passed in the connected matter, the cancellation of the advice of respondents 1 to 3 shall not be given effect to.

4. O.P.(KAT)No.147 of 2023:- The petitioners are the 11 O.P.(KAT)Nos.138, 145 & 147 of 2023 2025:KER:65720 respondents in O.A.(EKM)No.259 of 2023 on the file of the Kerala Administrative Tribunal, Additional Bench, Ernakulam. The said original application was one filed by the respondent herein- applicant, seeking an order to set aside Annexure A8 addendum/erratum notification dated 01.02.2023 issued by the Kerala Public Service Commission-1st petitioner herein to the extent it delete the applicant from Annexure A2 probability list; and a declaration that the action of the 2 nd respondent District Officer, Kerala Public Service Commission in issuing Annexure A8 notification deleting the applicant from Annexure A2 probability list without notice to the applicant is arbitrary, illegal and unsustainable, being violative of the basic principles of fairness and natural justice.

4.1. In O.A.(EKM)No.259 of 2023, the Tribunal passed Ext.P2 interim order dated 09.02.2023 staying further action, if any, for cancellation of advice of the applicant pursuant to Annexure A8, for a period of one month. By Ext.P3 order dated 02.03.2023 of the Tribunal, the said interim order was extended by one month. Feeling aggrieved by Exts.P2 and P3 interim orders, the petitioners-respondents have filed this original 12 O.P.(KAT)Nos.138, 145 & 147 of 2023 2025:KER:65720 petition.

4.2. On 30.03.2023, when this original petition came up for admission, the Division Bench admitted the matter on file. The learned counsel took notice for the respondent. By the order dated 30.03.2023, in the light of the orders in O.P.(KAT)Nos.145 and 130 of 2023, the Division Bench granted similar interim order to the effect that the cancellation of the advice of the respondent-applicant shall not be given effect to. By the said order, the operation of Exts.P2 and P3 also stands stayed.

5. On 25.08.2025, when these original petitions came up for consideration, the learned counsel for the respondents- applicants pointed out the judgment of a Division Bench of this Court in Ibrahim Sherif K. v. Malathi B.P. [2025 KHC OnLine 254].

6. Heard the learned Standing Counsel for Kerala Public Service Commission for the petitioners, the learned counsel for the party respondents-applicants and also the learned Government Pleader for the State and the official respondents.

7. From the submissions made at the Bar, we notice that, during the pendency of these original petitions, the Kerala 13 O.P.(KAT)Nos.138, 145 & 147 of 2023 2025:KER:65720 Administrative Tribunal, Additional Bench, Ernakulam, disposed of O.A.(EKM)Nos.253 of 2023, 259 of 2023, and 268 of 2023, by the order dated 26.07.2024 of the Tribunal. Those orders were under challenge in O.P.(KAT)No.553 of 2023 and connected matters, i.e., O.P.(KAT)Nos.26 of 2024, 350 of 2024, 402 of 2024, 407 of 2024, 408 of 2024, 411 of 2024, 412 of 2024, 428 of 2024 and 432 of 2024. Those original petitions filed by the Kerala Public Service Commission ended in dismissal by the judgment dated 25.02.2025 - Ibrahim Sherif K. v. Malathi B.P. [2025 KHC OnLine 254].

8. The learned Standing Counsel for Kerala Public Service Commission would submit that since O.A.(EKM)Nos.253 of 2023, 259 of 2023, and 268 of 2023 was finally disposed of by the order dated 26.07.2024 of the Kerala Administrative Tribunal and O.P.(KAT)No.553 of 2023 and connected matters filed by the Commission against the said order of the Tribunal ended in dismissal by the judgment dated 25.02.2025, the reliefs sought for in these original petitions have become infructuous, and therefore, these original petitions may be dismissed as infructuous; leaving open the legal and factual contentions. 14 O.P.(KAT)Nos.138, 145 & 147 of 2023 2025:KER:65720 In such circumstances, based on the aforesaid submission made by the learned Standing Counsel for Kerala Public Service Commission, these original petitions are dismissed as infructuous; however, leaving open the legal and factual contentions raised by both sides.
