SIRI JAGAN, J. ------------------------------------ W.P.(C)No.2551 OF 2008 ---------------------------------------- Dated this the 6th day of February, 2008 JUDGMENT This writ petition is filed by the petitioner aggrieved by the staff fixation orders consequent to which the petitioner has been retrenched from service. The petitioner challenges the orders on various grounds mentioned in the writ petition. 2. The learned Government pleader points out that the petitioner has got an effective alternate remedy by way of revision before the Director of Public Instruction under Rule 12E (3) of Chapter XXIII of the Kerala Education Rules. In view of the same I am not inclined to entertain this writ petition at this juncture. Accordingly this writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the DPI that if the petitioner files a revision petition within one week from today, the same would be entertained and heard along with similar revision petitions filed against the very same staff fixations orders, after affording an opportunity of being heard to all concerned.
