Ext.P4 is an order by which fourth respondent has been appointed as Principal of the Higher Secondary School, Purakkad. According to the petitioner, fourth respondent is not even qualified to be appointed as Principal. Petitioner has preferred Ext.P5 before the third respondent. I heard learned Government Pleader also. In the nature of the order that I propose to pass, it is not necessary to issue notice to the respondents. The writ petition is disposed of directing the third respondent to consider and take a decision on Ext.P5 in accordance with law after affording an opportunity of hearing to the petitioner and respondents 4 and 5 within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. I leave open the contentions of the petitioner. K.M.JOSEPH JUDGE sv.
