OP(KAT) No.232/2023 and conn.cases 40
A.MUHAMED MUSTAQUE & SHOBA ANNAMMA EAPEN, JJ.
------------------------------------------------
OP(KAT) Nos.232, 241, 252, 324 & 364 of 2023
------------------------------------------------
Dated this the 31st day of October, 2023
J U D G M E N T
A.Muhamed Mustaque, J.
The point that arises for consideration in these connected matters is whether the Government is competent to change the responsibilities and duties of the Government servants engaged as Draftsman and Head Draftsman deviating from originally assigned duties. This arose in a context when the Draftsman and Head Draftsman in the State of Kerala were directed to perform field work related to resurvey which was originally performed by the Surveyors in accordance with the provisions contained in the Kerala Survey and Boundaries Act, 1961 (for short, the 'Act'). The challenge made by the petitioners who are Draftsman and Head Draftsman was unsuccessful before the Kerala Administrative Tribunal (for short, the 'Tribunal').
2. In the State of Kerala, a Department of Survey and Land Records was founded in the year 1961. This Department undertakes the work related to the resurvey of the land in the entire State. The survey is being OP(KAT) No.232/2023 and conn.cases 41 carried out in accordance with the statutory provisions referable under the Act.
3. When the Act was enacted, the field measurement was done by the Surveyor. The Draftsman in the Department do not go to the field like surveyor and they do office work verifying the survey records, survey plans etc. prepared by the Surveyors. As early as in the year 1985, the duties, functions and responsibilities of a Draftsman were prescribed. This was produced as Annexure-A1 before the Tribunal. This also would show that the Draftsman in all Grades shall scrutinize the survey records and prepare the discrepancy list wherever necessary.
4. The problem presented in this case arose when the Government started modernizing cadastral land records and the Government accorded sanction for digital surveys in the State using modern gadgets and equipments. As a result of the modernization, the Government required more number of personnel in the field and less number of personnel in the office work. It seems that, use of modern gadgets would minimize the work of Draftsman as the survey mapping accuracy itself can be identified through gadgets and software application. The Government was of the view that the conventional survey methods have to be shifted to digital survey work using survey OP(KAT) No.232/2023 and conn.cases 42 equipments and more number of personnel are required in the field than in the office. The software application used in digital survey and use of equipments resulted in redundancy of the work done by the Draftsman.
5. The Kerala Survey and Land Records Subordinate Service created three different classes and categories of officers under the Survey Department. As per the Special Rules, Class-I category includes Head Surveyor, Surveyor Grade-1 and Surveyor Grade-II. Class-II category includes, Head Draftsman, Head Computor, Draftsman Grade-I and Draftsman Grade II and last category is Tracer. By constituting in a different class the promotion avenues are also different.
6. The main argument raised by the learned counsel for the petitioners was that the surveyors have to conduct resurvey in accordance with the Act and unless the Draftsman are identified as Surveyors they cannot carry out survey work under the Act. According to them, the surveyors' work involves responsibility and without recognizing them as Surveyors they cannot do the survey work. It is submitted that Draftsman are forming into different classes and promotion avenues are different. They cannot be asked to do the work of resurvey. The main function of the draftsman, according to the petitioners, is data collection and data entry. OP(KAT) No.232/2023 and conn.cases 43
7. The learned Additional Advocate General appearing for the respondents submitted that the functions and responsibilities are defined by the Government through executive orders and the Government is competent to redetermine the function. It is further argued that there is no requirement under law that, to do the work of a Surveyor one should be designated as a Surveyor.
8. The authority to fix the responsibilities and duties is vested with the Government. There are no special rules fixing the responsibilities and duties related to the category of officers referred under the Kerala Survey and Land Records Subordinate Service. It is the Government by executive orders decides on the responsibilities and duties. The Government servant himself cannot decide on the responsibilities and duties. The Government, having found that the Draftsman also can be deputed for surveying, the court cannot find any fault with that. In fact, what is being done from the office has to be performed in the field. The Government noted that the work of Draftsman that is being done from the office can be performed in the field by using modern gadgets and equipments. The shift from the office to the field will not make any difference. It is only when there is substantial variations in the service OP(KAT) No.232/2023 and conn.cases 44 conditions, the court would be justified in interfering with such action. There is no embargo under the Act for conducting survey by a Draftsman. The Surveyors, in fact, are doing field work and Draftsman were doing office work. By usage of modern survey equipments and software, both works became a single work. In such scenario, the court cannot find any fault in the Government's decision directing the Draftsman to do the survey work. It is not the realm of the Court or Tribunal to exercise the judicial review of such decision of the Government. The Original Petitions thus fail and are dismissed.
