(Social Science) by the 5th respondent in his aided school, against a leave vacancy for the period from 09.06.2008 to 01.06.2011. Approval of the same was rejected on the ground that the appointment from 09.06.2008 does not cover one academic year, namely from the beginning of the school year. It is further stated in the order refusing approval that such appointment is against the Government order No.G.O.(P) 104/08/G.Edn dated 10.06.2008. Since according to the petitioner the refusal to approve the appointment is against law, the petitioner has filed Ext.P5 revision petition before the 1st respondent. Petitioner seeks a direction to the 1st respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P5 as expeditiously as possible. W.P.(C)No. 8059 of 2010 -2- I have heard the learned Government Pleader also. In the facts and circumstances of the case, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the 1st respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P5 as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment, after affording an opportunity of being heard to the petitioner and the 5th respondent.
