Umesh Kumar Nagpal vs State Of Haryana (Sawant, J.) on 4 May, 1994
17. Thus from a close analysis of law laid down by Hon'ble Apex Court it is clear that if the intention of rule making authority is to give the Dying in Harness Rues an overriding effect over all other recruitment rules or regulation in all respect then it would have been unnecessary for it to provide for relaxation of the recruitment rules only in respect of maximum age limit, educational qualification and/or any procedural requirement of recruitment in favour of certain category of persons including dependents of Board's servants Dying in Harness in accordance with general rules or Government orders in this behalf in force at the time of recruitment. Thus in my opinion the relaxation of rules of recruitment is permissible only to the extent indicated in Rule-10 of the said rules. As held earlier since Rule 5 of rules provides source of recruitment and is substantive and fundamental in nature, therefore, does not cover under Rule 10 of the rules, Thus, I have no hesitation to hold that Rule-5(b)(iii) and (iv) which provides that the post of Assistant Master or Assistant Mistress are liable to be filled up by promotion according to Rule-18 of rules, cannot be relaxed under Rule-10 of the rules, making it available for direct recruitment. The proviso appended to Rule-5(b) of the rules no doubt carves out exception to the main provisions contained in the enacting part of the rule but it would apply only in situation envisaged therein and in no other situation. Therefore, the same cannot be utilized for different purpose that is for relaxation of rules regarding the source of recruitment, which is fundamental and substantive in nature for the purpose of making it available for Dying in Harness Rules. Such interpretation would lead anomalous result and rights of persons entitled for promotion would be unduly impaired and prejudiced.
