JUDGMENT
Dated this the 9th day of March, 2026 The petitioner states that he is the General Manager of the Corporate Educational Agency, Diocese of Cochin, which manages four Higher Secondary Schools. In these Institutions, there are 25 sanctioned posts of Higher Secondary School Teacher (Junior).
2. As per Rule 4 of Chapter XXXII of the Kerala Education Rules , 25% of the total HSST (Junior) posts are to be filled by transfer from qualified service Teachers under the Educational Agency and 75% by direct appointment. Applying the 25% quota to 25 posts yields 6.25 posts. The petitioner contends that in view of the applicable Circulars, the fractional figure must be rounded off to the next higher integer, thereby entitling the management to fill 7 posts by-transfer.
3. A senior Teacher, Smt. Cinla Antony, claimed that only two posts had been filled under the transfer quota and sought appointment again
