The said revision petition is filed under Rule 92 of Chapter XIV A Kerala Education Rules against Ext.P7 order passed by the Additional Director of Public Instruction (Academic), dated 14/10/2010. The matter relates to the appointment of Smt.Rajeena P., Sanskrit Teacher (Full Time) in the schoo1 with effect from 02/06/2008 in the retirement vacancy of one Smt.Leela, Sanskrit Teacher (Full Time). Going by Ext.P7 order, the appointment was made by an unapproved Manager and, as per the staff fixation for the year 2008-09, no Full-time post was allowed to the school. This was the reason for the rejection as per the Assistant Educational Officer. Various grounds have been stated in the writ petition justifying the W.P.(C). No.21094/2011 -:2:- appointment. It is pointed out that the reasoning adopted in Ext.P7 and the orders passed by the Educational Officers cannot be justified. 3. There will be a direction to the Government to take a decision on Ext.P8 revision petition after hearing the petitioner within a period of four months from the date of receipt of a copy of this Judgment. The writ petition is disposed of as above. No costs. The petitioner will forward a copy of the writ petition along with a certified copy of the Judgment to the first respondent for compliance.
