PLEADER SRI.A.J.VARAGHESE THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 14/07/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S.SIRI JAGAN, J. ================== W.P.(C).No.19735 of 2009 ================== Dated this the day of 14th July, 2009 J U D G M E N T The first petitioner is the manager of the Panakkad Pookoya Thangal Memorial A.L.P. School which is an aided school. The 2nd petitioner is a teacher appointed by the 1st petitioner in the school, whose appointment was originally approved and she was being paid salary. Now an objection is raised with respect to her approval on the ground that she was appointed without appointing a protected teacher as directed in the Government order on the subject. The petitioners would contend that at the same time, the Deputy Director has filed a reply to the query from the manager to the effect that no protected teacher is available in the category. Yet the salary of the 2nd petitioner is withheld from May, 2009. In the above circumstances, the 1st petitioner has filed Ext.P9 representation in this regard before the 2nd respondent. The petitioners would, for the present, be satisfied with a direction to the 2nd respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P9 expeditiously. 2. I have heard the learned Government Pleader also. 3. In the facts and circumstances of the case, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the 2nd respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P9, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within two months from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this judgment, after affording an opportunity of being heard to the petitioners.
