From the aforesaid discussion, it is clear that, the KPSC has followed the procedure prescribed in the Government Orders dated 3.5.1994 and 20.06.1995 in preparing the eligibility list of candidates who are admitted to the written examination and who are to be called for the personality test in 1998, 1999 and 2004 batch. It is illegal. It is contrary to the Rules. The said Government Order has to be applied after the personality test is over and at the time of preparation of list of candidates suitable for appointment under Rule 11 only. Thus, admittedly the ratio prescribed in the Rules has not been followed. The resultant position is, meritorious candidates from the unreserved category are denied the opportunity to take the written examination and also denied the opportunity for being called for the personality test. It violates Article 14 and 16(1) of the Constitution. It also violates the Rules and the Government Order referred to supra and, therefore, we have no hesitation in holding that the procedure followed by the KPSC in preparing the list of candidates who are admitted to the written examination and the list of candidates who are to be called for the personality list is unconstitutional and contrary to the Rules and the Government Order referred to supra.
