Maya P.C. vs State Of Kerala 2025 INSC 773 - Service Law - Withdrawal Of GO - Persons With Disability
Service Law - Withdrawal of GO - G.O. dated 18th May, 2013, is to ensure that the persons with disability appointed through the employment exchange in a particular post should be regularly appointed. Therefore, all of them were appointed on probation. Now, by the subsequent G.O. dated 3rd February 2016, what is conferred on the appellants by the G.O. dated 18th May 2013 cannot be withdrawn. Moreover, many appellants based on the G.O. dated 18th May 2013 changed their position and opted for other employment for securing the benefits under the G.O. The G.O. contemplates regular appointments to be given. Clause 3.5 of the G.O. dated 3rd February, 2016 seeks to withdraw what is specifically conferred by the G.O. dated 18th May 2013. Hence, the G.O. dated 3rd February 2016 is discriminatory and irrational and therefore, violative of Article 14 of the Constitution of India. (Para 23)
