#Kerala Education Rules

The Kerala High Court has ruled that a government employee’s voluntary relinquishment of a promotional post does not automatically alter seniority unless formally accepted by the competent authority. This clarifies a critical procedural safeguard for service candidates, ensuring promotions are governed by official record, not unilateral intent, and prevents arbitrary seniority adjustments in public employment.

Supreme Court holds that State Eligibility Test for Higher Secondary School Teachers must be in the concerned subject, not any subject, under Kerala Education Rules.

Kerala High Court holds that appointment of Principal in aided higher secondary schools must prioritize senior HSSTs with matching subject, invalidating retrospective rules favoring Headmasters.

Kerala High Court holds that for HSSTs appointed on the same date, seniority must be determined by age, not prior service in lower posts, reinforcing service jurisprudence principles.
