https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=194288 Rule 51A of Chapter XIV-A of the Kerala Education Rules gives an approved teacher a preferential right to appointment, and Note 2 lays down the exclusive procedure by which that right can be lost. That procedure requires notice by registered post, time to join duty, a further warning notice, and forfeiture only if the teacher still does not exercise the right within the prescribed period. Because a rule that prescribes a specific manner for forfeiture must be followed in that manner alone, a voluntary relinquishment letter cannot by itself extinguish the preferential right. The forfeiture of the right is therefore effective only if it complies strictly with Note 2. en-us Wed, 29 Jul 1992 00:00:00 +0530 Mon, 04 Sep 2017 15:14:20 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=194288 Rule 51A of Chapter XIV-A of the Kerala Education Rules gives an approved teacher a preferential right to appointment, and Note 2 lays down the exclusive procedure by which that right can be lost.
