https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=173192 Rule 14(a) of the Kerala State & Subordinate Services Rules fixes 20 vacancies as the unit of appointment, and the reservation roster under Rules 14 to 17 must operate within each such unit. Meritorious reserved-category candidates may be adjusted against open competition turns only within that 20-vacancy framework, while the rotation, sub-rotation and integrated cycle provisions do not change the statutory unit. The Court held that treating vacancies reported in excess of 20 as a single unit would add a proviso not found in Rule 14(a) and impermissibly rewrite the scheme. The literal construction was preferred, and reservation was held to apply separately to each batch of 20 vacancies. en-us Mon, 30 Mar 2009 00:00:00 +0530 Mon, 02 Nov 2015 08:39:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=173192 Rule 14(a) of the Kerala State & Subordinate Services Rules fixes 20 vacancies as the unit of appointment, and the reservation roster under Rules 14 to 17 must operate within each such unit.
