Judgment :
Petitioners in these writ petitions are claiming the benefit of Rule 5A of the Kerala State & Subordinate Services Rules (Hereinafter referred to as the "Rules" for short). In WP(C) No.11650/11, there is also an alternative prayer to declare the Rule unconstitutional.
2. Issues raised being common, these cases were heard together and are disposed of by this common judgment.
3. The background in which these litigations arise is that by G.O(P) No.5/1993 dt 15.1.1993, Rule 5A was inserted in the Rules, which read as under;
"Where the method of recruitment to any service, class or category is by direct recruitment on district wise basis, such of the candidates belonging to that district who qualify for the interview/become qualified to be included in the ranked list for such of the district-wise posts mentioned in the Annexure to this rule shall be given a weightage of five marks for the selection.
Provided that the candidates who are eligible to get the above weightage marks shall produce along with the application a nativity certificate issued by a competent authority not below the rank of Tahsildar of the concerned Taluk".
(Annexure is omitted)
