RESPONDENTS (BY SRI MOHAMMED JAFFAR SHAH, AGA FOR R1 TO R3; R4 AND R5 ARE SERVED) 4 THIS WRIT PETITION IS FILED UNDER ARTICLE 226 OF THE CONSTITUTION OF INDIA PRAYING TO QUASH THE ORDER DATED 27.8.2024, BEARING NO. DYES/CREECHPRO/30/2024-25 PASSED BY R3 PRODUCED AT ANNEXURE-A AND ETC., THIS WRIT PETITION HAVING BEEN HEARD AND RESERVED FOR ORDERS ON 24.03.2025, COMING ON FOR PRONOUNCEMENT THIS DAY, THE COURT MADE THE FOLLOWING:- CORAM: THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE M.NAGAPRASANNA CAV ORDER The petitioners are before this Court challenging an order dated 27-08-2024 issued by the 3rd respondent, by which the claim of the petitioners to get cash award in terms of two Government orders is declined. 2. Heard Sri Arnav A. Bagalwadi, learned counsel appearing for the petitioners and Sri Mohammed Jaffar Shah, learned Additional Government Advocate appearing for respondents 1 to 3. 5 3. Facts, in brief, germane are as follows:- The petitioners are physically challenged persons suffering from stunting of growth of the entire body, which in medical parlance is known as Dwarfism. The petitioners are stated to be athletes and are said to have represented the Nation in numerous sporting events, more particularly in World Dwarf Games that are held once in four years. World Dwarf Game is an international multi-sport event for athletes with short stature similar to Paralympics, which is the world’s largest sporting event for athletes with skeletal dysplasia. The World’s dwarf games attract athletes of all ages from all over the world who would participate in all sport events. 4. The Dwarf Sports Federation of India is the one which regulates participation of athletes in the World dwarf games. The Dwarf Sports Federation of India in association with the Karnataka Sports Association for physically handicapped was entrusted with the task of selecting eligible athletes for competing in the 7th World Dwarf games of the year 2017 held in Canada. After the conduct of 6 trials and selection, the athletes would be given extensive training and the selected athletes would travel to the place of the game. One such selection took place in the year 2017 and 26 candidates were selected. All the petitioners herein form a part of those selections to represent the nation in the said world games from the State of Karnataka. 5. The State has issued certain orders/guidelines for cash awards to athletes who win gold, silver and bronze in world championship to all those sportsmen who are participating representing the State. The petitioners herein participated in the 7th World Dwarf Games conducted between 4-08-2017 and 12-08-2017. They have won medals but no steps were taken to compensate these petitioners for their participation and winning of medals. Representations from the petitioners and responses from the State galore for demand of cash price. Representations are said to have been addressed even to the Chief Minister, all of which, have gone unheeded. Later, the petitioners approach this Court in Writ Petition No.13327 of 2021. This Court directs consideration of the representation which results in passing of an 7 order dated 13-01-2022 denying the benefit. The said order comes to be challenged before this Court in Writ Petition No.13975 of 2024. The same comes to be disposed of with a direction to consider the case of the petitioners, in the light of a Division Bench judgment. The claim gets denied and therefore, the petitioners are again at the doors of this Court in the subject petition. 6. The learned counsel for the petitioners would reiterate the averments in the petition in contending that these very petitioners following the earlier Government order were granted cash price and all other benefits. For the subject participation they are left in the lurch. He would submit that the State should encourage by grant of cash price to these persons who are physically disabled and participated in the games and won medals. He would seek quashment of the impugned order and grant of relief that is sought for. 7. The learned Additional Government Advocate who has filed the statement of objections would contend that participation of the petitioners in the subject game is not at the behest of the State, 8 since Government has not sponsored the candidates to any world event and they having participated on their own volition cannot demand cash price. If the Government had sponsored the candidates to the game, everything would have been taken care of by the State. Therefore, while appreciating participation of the physically challenged petitioners in the world dwarf games, he would plead that if this benefit is granted, it would become a precedent and any participation, without the knowledge of the State, those participants would demand the benefits identical to the ones who are sponsored by the State. He would seek dismissal of the petition. 8. I have given my anxious consideration to the submissions made by the respective learned counsel and have perused the material on record. 9. The afore-narrated facts are not in dispute. It is not today that these petitioners are participating in the world dwarf games. The petitioners have participated in the past. It is apposite to 9 notice the Government order dated 11-12-2015, which was the one prevalent at the relevant point in time, reads as follows: “ಕಾಟಕ ಸ ಾರದ ನಡವಗಳ ಷಯ: ಧ ಾೕಯ ಮತು ಅಂತರಾೕಯ ಮಟ!ದ"# $ಾಗವ%& ಪದಕ (ೇತಾದ ಕಾಟಕದ «PÀ®ZÉÃvÀ£À *+ೕ,ಾಪಟುಗ-ೆ ನಗದು ಪ.ರ/ಾ0ರ 1ೕಡುವ ಬ-ೆ3. ಓದ5ಾ67ೆ: 1) ಸ ಾರದ ಆ7ೇಶ ಸಂ:ೆ;: ಯು/ೇಇ 278 ಯು¸ÉÃQæà 2013, ¢£ÁAPÀ: 30-11-2013. 2) ಸ ಾರದ ಆ7ೇಶ ಸಂ:ೆ;: ಯು/ೇಇ 514 ಯು/ೇ 2014, ¢£ÁAPÀ: 05-11-2014. 3) 17ೇಶಕರು, ಯುವ ಸಬ"ೕಕರಣ ಮತು *+ೕ,ಾ ಇ5ಾ:ೆ ಇವರ ¥ÀvÀæ ¸ÀASÉå: rªÉÊEJ¸ï/QæÃPÀ¥ÀA/14/2014-15/326, ¢£ÁAPÀ: 31-08-2015. ಪ+/ಾವೆ: >ೕ5ೆ ಓದ5ಾದ (1)ರ ಆ7ೇಶದ"#, ಾೕಯ ಮತು ಅಂತರಾೕಯ ಮಟ!ದ *+ೕ,ಾಕೂಟಗಳ"# $ಾಗವ%& ಪದಕ ಪ,ೆದ ಕಾಟಕದ ಕಲAೇತನ *+ೕ,ಾಪಟುಗ-ೆ ಾಜ; ಸ ಾರದ ವCDಂದ ಈ ೆಳಕಂಡಂFೆ ನಗದು G+ೕFಾHಹ ಧನವನುJ Kಾಗಸೂa UÀಳ£Àéಯ 1ೕL -ೌರಸಲು ಆ7ೇNಸ5ಾ6ರುತ7ೆ.

In addition to reiterating the various contentions urged in the petition and referring to the material on record, learned counsel for the petitioner invited my attention to the impugned order at Annexure – A dated 13.01.2022 in order to point out that no valid or sufficient reasons have been assigned by respondent No.3 and consequently, rejected the claim of the petitioners by passing a non-speaking and unreasoned order. It is also submitted that the impugned order is contrary to the judgment of this Court in State of Karnataka and another 20 Vs. Sri. Niranjan Mukundan – W.A.No.1189/2021 in W.P.No.6104/2021 dated 21.06.2023 and therefore, it is submitted that the impugned order deserves to be set aside. 4. Per contra, learned counsel for the respondents submits that there is no merit in the petition and the same is liable to be dismissed. 5. A perusal of the impugned order will indicate that except stating that the government orders at Annexures – A, B and D are not applicable, nothing further is stated by respondent No.3, who has not assigned any valid or cogent reasons to reject the claim of the petitioners and judgment of this Court in Niranjan’s case supra has not been taken into account by respondent No.3. 6. Under these circumstances, I deem it just and appropriate to set aside the impugned order and remit the matter back to respondent No.3 for reconsideration afresh in accordance with law bearing in mind Annexures – A, B and D and judgment of this Court in Niranjan’s case supra, in accordance with law and pass appropriate orders / take appropriate decision, within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. 7. Subject to the aforesaid observations and directions, the petition stands disposed of.” This Court directed the case of the petitioners to be considered in terms of judgment of the Division Bench in the case of STATE OF KARNATAKA V.

The said observation in the impugned order runs counter to what the Division Bench has observed in Writ Appeal No.1189 of 2021. The observation reads as follows: “…. …. …. 4. The respondent submitted an application dated 22.03.2018 for the years 2015, 2016 and 2017. It is the claim of the appellant that he is entitled for payment of cash incentives as per the earlier guidelines. However, no action was taken with regard to the claim of the respondent. Thereupon respondent filed W.P.No.6104/2021, wherein the learned Single Judge by an order impugned in this appeal has disposed of the writ petition preferred by the respondent with a direction to consider the claim of the respondent. It is further submitted that the learned Single Judge has failed to consider that respondent is only entitled to cash incentives as per the guidelines dated 30.11.2013 and not under the new guidelines dated 09.10.2017. 5. We have considered the submissions made by the learned counsel for the appellant and learned Additional Government Advocate and have perused the record. 6. The respondent has submitted the application for grant of cash incentives viz, applications at Annexures-E1, E2 and E3 in the light of the guidelines dated 30.11.2013 insofar as it pertains to the claim of the respondent in the events held prior to 09.10.2017. The learned Single Judge has disposed of the writ petition with a direction to consider the application submitted by the respondent in the light of the guidelines dated 30.11.2013 within an outer limit of three months. We do not find any ground to interfere with the orders passed by the learned Single Judge. In the result the appeal fails and is hereby dismissed.” 24 The Division Bench holds that the claim of the petitioners should be considered in terms of the guidelines that were prevalent at the relevant point in time to all sporting events held prior to 09-10-2017. The events in the case at hand have happened between 04-08-2017 to 12-08-2017. Therefore, the finding of the Division Bench was confirming an order passed by a coordinate Bench in Writ Petition No.6104 of 2021 wherein the coordinate Bench has held as follows: “…. …. …. 6. Undisputed facts of the case are, State Government has issued two Guidelines. The first one on 30.11.2013 and the second one on 09.10.2017. Petitioner's case is that the second respondent did not call for the applications for long time. When the applications were called for, the Second Guidelines were in force. Therefore, on this ground, State Government have denied the benefits which have accrued to petitioner under 2013 Guidelines. 7. Both guidelines have been issued by order and in the name of the Governor. Therefore, they are executive orders passed under Article 162 of the Constitution of India. The Sportspersons who are eligible for the benefits under the notification cannot be denied their right. More so, the petitioner in this case, is a differently abled person. He has won 60 International medals and 100 medals in National and State level competitions. So far his participation in the events till, 09.10.2017, he shall be entitled for benefits under the previous notification. Therefore, the argument advanced on behalf of the State that petitioner's case shall be considered under second guidelines is untenable. 25 8. In the circumstances, this petition merits consideration. Accordingly, it is disposed of with a direction to the respondents to consider petitioner's application filed as Annexures-E1, E2 and E3 in the light of guideline dated 30.11.2013 (Annexure-B) so far as they relate to petitioner's participation in the events prior to 09.10.2017 is concerned and grant the benefits to which petitioner shall be entitled, expeditiously and in any event within an outer limit of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.” (Emphasis supplied) The coordinate Bench had held that the State Government had issued two circulars by way of guidelines – one on 30-11-2013 and the other on 09-10-2017. Therefore, the competitions that have emerged earlier to 30-11-2013 and 09-10-2017 should be considered in terms of the guidelines dated 30-11-2013. The Government order dated 30-11-2013 is what is quoted hereinabove. Therefore, the petitioners become entitled to the benefits in terms of the orders of the learned single Judge and the Division Bench. The impugned order that is passed runs counter to the finding therein and the justification by way of statement of objections against taking away the right of these petitioners that was crystalized long before issuance of the Government order dated 26 09-10-2017 is unsustainable. In that view of the matter, the petitioners are entitled to the relief that is sought for. 10. For the aforesaid reasons, the following: O R D E R (i) Writ Petition is allowed. (ii) The order dated 27-08-2024 passed by the 3rd respondent stands quashed. (iii) Mandamus issues to the respondents to grant cash awards to the petitioners as claimed by them in terms of Government Order dated 30-11-2013. (iv) This order shall be complied within a period of eight weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Consequently, I.A.No.1 of 2025 also stands disposed.
