ASOPA, J. ( 1 ) BY this writ petition, petitioners have challenged the order of the Rajasthan Non-Government Educational Tribunal dated 6. 2. 2008 whereby the order of the petitioner-management dated 9. 5. 2007 of declaring 5 the respondent No. 3 Dr. Anita Surana as surplus and consequential removal from services with effect from 30. 6. 2007, has been quashed and set aside. ( 2 ) COUNSEL for the petitioner-Management Committee of Vaidik Kanya p. G. College, Jaipur has submitted that the services of the respondent No. 3 have been terminated on account of poor economic condition of the 20 institution arising out of non-sanction of grant-in-aid in respect of posts of lecturers and the post of respondent No. 3 was a lecturer in history which is one of it, which compelled the management to make payment of salary of lecturers and employees from the funds of students. ( 3 ) DURING the course of pendency of the writ petition, one development 25 has taken place with regard to the fact that the respondent No. 3 filed a document of S. S. Jain Subodh P. G. College dated 14. 8. 2008 whereby the S. S. Jain Subodh P. G. College has agreed to take the respondent No. 3 as Lecturer in History against a vacant post provided the Government approved. ( 4 ) THE counsel for the Government was asked to make submissions on 30 the issue of aforesaid development by considering the said application filed by the respondents No. 3 and enabling the State to file reply Counsel for the State has submitted the Government has passed order on 23. 10. 2008 and the final order on 25. 3. 2009 to the effect that there is no provision in the Rajasthan Non-Government Institutional Act of 1989 and Rules of 1993 framed thereunder for 35 transfer/absorption. Mr. S. N. Kumawat, on the strength of the said subsequent consideration of case of respondent No. 3 for approval, has submitted that the government is not in a position to act contrary to the provisions of the Act of 1989 and the Rules of 1993 in the matter of the transfer/absorption of the respondent No. 3 in aforesaid institution. Mr. S. N. Kumawat, on the strength of the said subsequent consideration of case of respondent No. 3 for approval, has submitted that the government is not in a position to act contrary to the provisions of the Act of 1989 and the Rules of 1993 in the matter of the transfer/absorption of the respondent No. 3 in aforesaid institution. ( 5 ) THE counsel for the respondent No. 3 has submitted that the other detail of the facts with regard to the abolition of the post consequent declaration of service as surplus and then removal despite continuing one neena Pancharia are not necessary for the reason that in view of subsequent development of willingness of S. S. Jain Subodh P. G. College to absorb the 45 respondent No. 3 as Lecturer in History subject to approval of the State. ( 6 ) THUS, now there is no contest between petitioners and respondent No. 3 and contest is between respondent No. 2 State and respondent No. 3. ( 7 ) ON the said issue of transfer/absorption/submission of learned counsel for the respondent No. 3 is that under Section 16 of the Act of 1989 and the 5 rules of 92 and 93 of Rules of 1993 as well as settled propositions of law even if there is no specific provisions for absorption and transfer and when there is no bar for the same, the Government case issue executive instructions. The Govt. in similar circumstances when Avas Vikash was liquidated, its employees have been absorbed in another Corporation and Board i. e. Housing Board 10 after framing the scheme of absorption independent to any enactment and the rules. The case has been reported in AIR 2006 SC 3413 = RLW 2006 (2) SC 1606 (Avas Vikas Sansthan and Anr. vs. Avas Vikas Sansthan Engineers association and Ors ). ( 8 ) ON the issue of scheme, counsel for the respondent No. 3 has further 15 placed reliance in a case reported in 1994 Supp (3) SCC 750 (Andhra university vs. M. Sivaram and others ). He also submits that higher technical education is a subject of Union list and education is also a subject of State list appended to the Schedule of the Constitution. He also submits that higher technical education is a subject of Union list and education is also a subject of State list appended to the Schedule of the Constitution. The petitioner -management and S. S. Jain Subodh P. G. College both are discharging the duties to impart 20 education which is a governmental function and right to education is a fundamental right in view of Article 29 (2), therefore, the Government has to intervene in such kind of situation also where teachers have been declared surplus in one institution and are required in another institution by framing scheme of absorption to save the teachers from unemployment and time to 25 be consumed in making fresh recruitment. Apart from it also, the experienced person is always better than that of a new recruit. ( 9 ) ON the issue of term of 'condition of service' referred in section 16 of the Act of 1989, the counsel for the respondent No. 3 has placed reliance on a judgment of this court reported in 2006 (3) WLC 1 = RLW 2006 (2) Raj. 1642 30 (Agrawal Shiksha Samiti (Shri) and Anr. vs. State of Rajasthan ). ( 10 ) THE counsel for the State has reiterated his submission that since there is no provision under the Act of 1989 and Rules of 1993 framed thereunder, therefore, it is no possible for the State to approve transfer/absorption of the respondent No. 3. ( 11 ) IN rebuttal, the counsel for the respondent No. 3 further submits that she was selected by the selection committee wherein one of the departmental representative was present and has further worked for a period of one in Vaidic Kanya P. G. Mahavidhyalaya and in S. S. Jain Subodh P. G. College where one post of Lecturer was/is lying vacant then there is no reason 40 for the Government not to exercise its executive power either in particular or in general for the reason that there is no prohibition under the Act of 1989 and the Rules of 1993. The condition of the absorption and transfer is either prescribed in the Act or the Rule by enacting separate provision or the separate Rule prescribed the same. The term "condition of service" as referred 45 in section 16 of the Act of 1989 is inclusive in nature. The condition of the absorption and transfer is either prescribed in the Act or the Rule by enacting separate provision or the separate Rule prescribed the same. The term "condition of service" as referred 45 in section 16 of the Act of 1989 is inclusive in nature. ( 12 ) I have gone through the record of the writ petition and considered the rival submissions in the light of subsequent development as detailed out above. ( 13 ) "before proceeding further, I would like to quote Section 16 of rajasthan Non-Government Educational Institutions Act, 1989 and Rules 92 and 93 of the Rajasthan Non-Government Educational Institutions Rules, 1993 which read as under: 5 Section 16. Power of the State Government to regulate the terms and conditions of employment- (1) The State Government may regulate the recruitment and conditions of service, including conditions relating to qualifications, pay, gratuity insurance, age of retirement, entitlement of leave, conduct and discipline of a persons appointed as 10 employees of aided institutions in the State. Provided that the rights and benefits accruing to an employee of an existing institution under the grant in aid rules in force at the commencement of this Act shall not be varied to the disadvantage of such employee: 15 Provided further that every such employee shall be entitled to opt for such terms and conditions of service as were applicable to him to him immediately before the commencement of this Act: provided also that, irrespective of the age of retirement prescribed, action may be taken for compulsory retirement of such an employee 20 after completion of 25 years of service or on attainment of the age of 50 years whichever is earlier, in accordance with the procedure as may be prescribed. (2) Every recognized institution shall constitute a provident fund for the benefit of its employees in such manner and subject to such 25 conditions as may be prescribed and contribute to such fund and pay interest on the deposited amount at such rate as may be prescribed from time to time. (2) Every recognized institution shall constitute a provident fund for the benefit of its employees in such manner and subject to such 25 conditions as may be prescribed and contribute to such fund and pay interest on the deposited amount at such rate as may be prescribed from time to time. Rule - 92 Powers to exempt from Rules - The State Government may, by general or special order exempt any institution or any class of 30 institutions from any of the provisions of the rules or may direct that such provisions shall apply to such institution or class or institutions with such modification and, or conditions as may be specified in the orders. Rule 93 Removal of Doubts- Where a doubt arises as to the ' 35 interpretation of any of the provisions of these rules or their applicability, the matter shall be referred to the Government in the education Department, whose decision thereon shall be final. ( 14 ) IN the case title as Avas Vikash Sansthan and Anr. vs. Avas Vikash sansthan Engineers Association and Ors. (Supra), the Supreme Court has 40 observed in para 51 as under:- "power to abolish posts as a measure of economy: It is well settled that the power to abolish a post which may result in the holder thereof ceasing to be a Government Servant has got to be recognized. The measure of economy and the need for streamlining the administration 45 to make it more efficient may induce any State Government to make alternations in the staffing pattern of the civil services necessitating either the increase or the decrease in the number of posts or abolish 2010 (3) RLWM. C, Vaidik Kanya P. G. College Vs. P. O. , Raj. Non-Govt. Edu. (Asopa, J.)2029 the post. In such an event, a Department which was abolished or abandoned wholly or partially for want of funds, the Court cannot, by a writ of mandamus, direct the employer to continue employing such employee as have been dislodged. In the instant case, the State of 5 Rajasthan has framed a scheme and offered alternative employment in the other local bodies as a Welfare State on humanitarian grounds. " ( 15 ) IN the case title Agrawal Shiksha Samiti (Shri) and Anr. vs. State of rajasthan (supra), the Division Bench of this Court has observed in paras Nos. 14 to 21 as under:- 10 "14. " ( 15 ) IN the case title Agrawal Shiksha Samiti (Shri) and Anr. vs. State of rajasthan (supra), the Division Bench of this Court has observed in paras Nos. 14 to 21 as under:- 10 "14. 1. Whether term regulate the recruitment and condition of service under Section 16 (1) of the Act of 1989 includes promotion also. In other words, whether the promotion is condition of service: the Supreme Court in State of Madhya Pradesh vs. Sardul Singh 1970 slr 101, in para Nos. 8 and 9, has held that 'condition of service' is an 15 expression of wide import which means all those conditions which regulate the holding of a post by a person right from the time of his appointment till his retirement and even beyond it, in matters like pension. The same view has been followed in Lily Kurian vs. Sr. Lawina 1979 (1), in para 13 and it has been held that expression 20 condition of service' includes everything from the state of appointment to the stage of termination of service and even beyond, and relates to matters pertaining to disciplinary action and in State of punjab vs. Kailash Nath 1989 (1) SLR 12, in para Nos. 6 and 7 dealing with a case of prosecution against a retired Government employee, 25 the Supreme Court while interpreting the term" condition of service," further followed the judgment of Sardul Singh (supra) and it was held that in the normal course what falls withing the purview of the term "condition of service" may be classified as salary or wages including subsistence allowance during suspension, the periodical increments, 30 pay-scale, leave, Provident Fund, Gratuity, Confirmation, promotion seniority tenure or termination of service, compulsory or premature retirement, superannuation, pension, changing the age of superannuation deputation and disciplinary proceedings. Para No. 7 of the aforesaid judgment is as follows: 35 (7) In the normal course what falls withing the purview of the term "condition of service" may be classified as salary or wages including subsistence allowance during suspension, the periodical increments, pay-scale, leave, Provident Fund, Gratuity, Confirmation, promotion, seniority tenure or termination of service, compulsory or premature 40 retirement, superannuation, pension changing the age of superannuation deputation and disciplinary proceedings. Whether or not a Government servant should be prosecuted for an offence committed by him obviously cannot be treated to be something pertaining to conditions of service. Whether or not a Government servant should be prosecuted for an offence committed by him obviously cannot be treated to be something pertaining to conditions of service. Making a provision that a 45 Government servant, even if he is guilty of grave misconduct or negligence which constitutes an offence punishable either under the penal Code or Prevention of Corruption Act or an analogous law should be granted immunity from such prosecution after the lapse of a particular period so as to provide incentive for efficient work would not only be against public policy but would also be counter productive. It is likely to be an incentive not for efficient work but for committing offence including embezzlement and misappropriation by 5 some of them at the fag end of their tenure of service and making an effort that the offence is not detected withing the period prescribed for launching prosecution or manipulating delay in the matter of launching prosecution. Further, instances are not wanting where a government servant may escape prosecution at the initial stage for 10 want of evidence but during the course of prosecution of some other person evidence may be led or material may be produced which establishes complicity and guilt of such Government employee. By that time period prescribed, if any, for launching prosecution may have expired and in that even on account of such period having 15 expired the Government servant concerned would succeed in avoiding prosecution even though there may be sufficient evidence of an offence having been committed by him. Such a situation, in our opinion, cannot be created by framing a rule under Article 309 of the constitution laying down an embargo on prosecution as condition of 20 service. The Supreme Court has further held in Sitaram Jivyabhai Gavali vs. Ramjibhai Potiyabhia Mahala and others MANU/sc/0388/1987, AIR 1987 SC 1293 , JT 1987 (1) SC 767, (1987) II LLJ 133 SC, 1987 (1) SCALE 608 , (1987) 2 SCC 262 , (1987) 2 SCR 635 , 1987 (2) UJ 133 (SC) that new 25 condition of service can be prescribed by executive order. The relevant para No. 13 of the aforesaid judgment is as follows: 13. . . . The relevant para No. 13 of the aforesaid judgment is as follows: 13. . . . It is well recognized that a new service condition may be brought into effect by an executive order and such condition would remain in force as long as it is not repealed either expressly or by necessary 30 implication by another executive order or a rule made under the proviso of article 309 of the Constitution of by a statute. Thus, it can safely be concluded that not only the conditions of service which are initially prescribed will be covered by the terms and conditions of the service but the same can also be subsequently 35 prescribed either by Rules or by executive order. Promotion is a condition of service as held by the Supreme Court in State of Maharastra vs. Jagannath Achyut Karandikar 1989 (2) SLR 31. In para 7 of the aforesaid judgment the Supreme Court has also held that the Government preserved power to dispense with, or relax 40 the requirements of any rule regulating "the condition of service of government servants', or any class there of. The relevant portion of para No. 7 of the aforesaid judgment is reproduced hereunder for ready reference:- (7) The aforesaid Rules expressly provided power to the Government 45 to grant more changes for passing the examination in any individual case or in class of cases. Under the 1955 Rules, the Government preserved power to dispense with, or relax the requirements of any 2010 (3) RLWM. C, Vaidik Kanya P. G. College Vs. P. O. , Raj. Non-Govt. Edu. (Asopa, J.)2031 rule regulating the conditions of service of Government servants; or any class thereof. " In exercise of this power, the Government could dispense or relax the operation of any rule, if it cause undue hardships in any particular case. It is needless to state that this power includes 5 the power to relax the conditions prescribed for promotion since promotion is a condition of service. There is no restriction as to the exercise of the power or discretion. As regards condition of service detailed out in Section 16 (1) of the Act of 1989, the expression condition of service" as mentioned in section 16 (1) of the Act of 1989 10 is inclusive, therefore, the same has to be given the meaning of wide import. There is no restriction as to the exercise of the power or discretion. As regards condition of service detailed out in Section 16 (1) of the Act of 1989, the expression condition of service" as mentioned in section 16 (1) of the Act of 1989 10 is inclusive, therefore, the same has to be given the meaning of wide import. The list of service conditions illustrated in the said Section is inclusive and not exhaustive. The Supreme Court while interpreting the word" includes" in definition "industry" under Section 2 (j) of the industrial Disputes Act, 1947 in the case of The State of Bombay and 15 Ors. vs. The Hospital Mazdoor Sabha and Ors. MANU/sc/0200/1960, air 1960 SC 610 , (1960) 62 BOM LR 553, (1960) I LLJ 251 SC, [1960 2 scr 866, in para No. 10, interpreting the inclusive definition, has held that the inclusive definition denote extension and cannot be treated as restricted in any sense. Where the courts are dealing with an inclusive 20 definition, it would be inappropriate to put a restrictive interpretation upon terms of wide denotation. Para No. 10 of the aforesaid judgment is reproduced hereunder for ready reference:- (10) There is another point which cannot be ignored. Section 2 (j) does not define "industry" in the usual manner by prescribing what it means 25 the first clause of the definition gives the statutory meaning of "industry" and the second clause deliberately refers to several other items of industry and brings them in the definition in an inclusive way. It is obvious that the words used in an inclusive definition denote extension and cannot be treated as restricted in any sens. (Vide: 30 Stround's "judicial Dictionary", Vol. 2, P. 1415), Where we are dealing with an inclusive definition it would be inappropriate to put a restrictive interpretation upon terms of wider denotation. The said judgment has been held to be a good law by the majority view of the seven Judges Constitution Bench of the Supreme 35 Court in Banglore Water Supply @ Sewerage Board vs. A. Rajappa and ors. MANU/sc/0257/1978 SC 548, (1978 (6) FLR 266), (1978) I LLJ 349 sc, (1978) II LLJ 73, SC, (1978) 2 SCR 207, in para No. 140, while again interpreting the term "industry" which was given a wide import. Similarly the Supreme Court in State of Maharasthtra vs. Labour Law practitioners' Association and Ors. MANU/sc/0257/1978 SC 548, (1978 (6) FLR 266), (1978) I LLJ 349 sc, (1978) II LLJ 73, SC, (1978) 2 SCR 207, in para No. 140, while again interpreting the term "industry" which was given a wide import. Similarly the Supreme Court in State of Maharasthtra vs. Labour Law practitioners' Association and Ors. MANU/sc/0121/1998, 1998, 1998 II ad (SC) 20, AIR 1998 SC 1233 , (1999 (82) FLR 380) (1998) 2 GLR 1079, jt 1998 (1) SC 604, (1998) I LLJ 868 (1) SCALE 565, (1998) 2 SCC 688 , (1998) 1 SCR 793, in para No. 10, has held that term "district Judge" indicates that a wide interpretation is to be given to the expression 45 "district Judge. ' The extensive definition of a District Judge under article 236 is inclusive Judge of the Labour Court and the Judge of the industrial Court. (19) In view of the above not specifying the term 'promotion' as a condition of service in Section 16 (1) of the Act of 1989 is of no help to the petitioners. The term of regulate condition of service will include promotion also. 5 (20 ). As concluded herein above, even new condition of service for promotion can be laid down by the State Government, we have no hesitation in holding that the State Government can still make promotion as a condition of service either by amending the rules or by executive order for employees of non Government educational 10 institutions. " ( 16 ) IN the case title Andhra University vs. M. Sivaram and others (supra), the Supreme Court has observed in para 2 as under:- "2. the respondents were serving the Institute of Coastal and Offshore research (INCOR) in different capacities. In the year 1989, the INCOR 15 as department was wound up and all the posts therein were abolished. The respondents sought a writ in the nature of mandamus from the Andhra Pradesh High Court seeking a direction that INCOR being a part of the Andhra University, the respondents were entitled to be absorbed in the University on equivalent posts. A learned Single 20 Judge of the High Court rejected the contention of the respondents the contention of the respondents that INCOR was a unit of the University. A learned Single 20 Judge of the High Court rejected the contention of the respondents the contention of the respondents that INCOR was a unit of the University. The learned Single Judge, however, directed the University to frame a scheme to absorb the respondents in the service of the University in the existing and future vacancies. The learned Single Judge dismissed 25 the writ petition in the following terms: ". . . . They have been working in an institution which had been in some association with the University. It will be fair for the University to consider and absorb many employees of the INCOR as are eligible and willing to come in the service of the University in suitable posts and 30 the existing vacancies or the vacancies which may arise at the foreseeable future. I am not suggesting that direct recruitment by university should be totally banned for this purpose. " ( 17 ) IN the instant case, Act of 1989 and the Rules of 1993 are silent on the issue of transfer/absorption and in such a situation, the executive powers can 35 be exercised as held by the Supreme Court in case of Sant Ram Sharma vs. State of Rajasthan and others reported in AIR 1967 SC 1910 which has been consistently followed till today. The relevant paragraph of para 7 of Sant Ram sharma's case (supra), is as under: "it is true that Government cannot amend or supersede statutory Rules 40 by administrative instructions but if the rules are silent on any particular point Government can fill up the gaps and supplement the rules and issue instructions not consistent with the rules already framed. " ( 18 ) FOR the aforesaid reasons, there is no impediment for the 45 Government to frame a scheme of transfer/absorption of the employees who have been declared surplus in one institution and other institution is willing to take the employee on the same status. 2010 (3) RLW_sanwar Mal Vs. State of Rajasthan (Totla, J.)_2033 ( 19 ) IN view of the Division Bench judgment of Agrawal Shiksha Samiti (Shri) and Anr. (supra) the term of transfer/absorption is also inclusive of term 'condition of service' as referred in Sec. 16 of the Act of 1989. 2010 (3) RLW_sanwar Mal Vs. State of Rajasthan (Totla, J.)_2033 ( 19 ) IN view of the Division Bench judgment of Agrawal Shiksha Samiti (Shri) and Anr. (supra) the term of transfer/absorption is also inclusive of term 'condition of service' as referred in Sec. 16 of the Act of 1989. The Government being a welfare Government and its duty not to generate unemployment and 5 discontent among teachers/employees even of Non-Government Educational institution and it can interfere in such kind of situation by framing the scheme. ( 20 ) THE Supreme Court has also approved the judgment of the learned single Judge of Andhra Pradesh High Court for framing such kind of scheme in the similar circumstances for their absorption in the university on closure of 10 INCOR wherein it has also been upheld by the Supreme Court although incor was not an unit of the University. ( 21 ) AS regard to this particular case, since the consent has also been given by S. S. Jain Suboth P. G. College, therefore considering the peculiar circumstances of the case, the particular direction can be issued. ( 22 ) ACCORDINGLY, the writ petition is allowed as indicated under:- (i) The impugned judgment of Rajasthan Non-Government educational Institutions Tribunal, Jaipur dated 6. 2. 2008 is modified as per relief No. 2. (ii) The respondent-State is directed to consider the case of the respondent No. 3 for approval of absorption in S. S. Jain Subodh P. G. College, Jaipur as lecturer in History in the light of above findings and observations and pass appropriate orders in the matter of absorption within one months.
