It is his case that it has been wrongly fixed whereby he is shown junior to Respondents Nos.6 to 25. He has already made a representation to the Deputy Director of Education on 18th August 2003. That representation is not yet decided. Mr.Toraskar submits that if a direction is given to decide that representation, that should suffice. 3. Accordingly, we direct the Deputy Director of Education concerned to decide the representation concerning the dispute on seniority. He will issue notice to the school management and the concerned teachers and, after hearing all concerned, the representation will be decided. The Deputy Director of Education will decide the representation expeditiously and preferably by the end of December 2005. (H.L. GOKHALE, J.) (MRS. R.S. DALVI, J.)
