THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 25/11/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: T.R. RAMACHANDRAN NAIR, J. --------------------------------------- W.P.(C) No.33052 OF 2009 --------------------------------------- Dated this the 25th day of November, 2009. J U D G M E N T The petitioner herein is working as H.S.A (Mathematics) in the High School Section of the 4th respondent's school. The main complaint raised by the petitioner is that Exhibit P6 revision petition filed against Exhibits P2 and P5(b) is pending consideration before the 1st respondent and the same may be directed to be considered within a time frame. Exhibit P6 revision petition is filed under Rule 92 of Chapter XIV A of Kerala Education Rules. 2. The dispute is regarding the seniority list which was published as on 01.01.2008. The petitioner has raised various grounds in Exhibit P6 to challenge the said seniority list. It is the case of the petitioner that the petitioner is senior to respondents 5 to 7 as per Exhibit P1 seniority list. The petitioner has continuous approved service as H.S.A (Maths) from 06.06.1994 and accordingly she was assigned the correct W.P.(C) No.33052/2009 2 seniority position in Exhibit P1 seniority list. 3. It is the further plea that the position of the petitioner has been deliberately disturbed in Exhibit P2 by showing her name below the respondents 5 to 7 and one Sri.Krishnakumar. Even though the petitioner had raised objection as per Exhibit P4 before the District Educational Officer, that was not considered at that point of time and provisional approval has been granted to the said seniority list. Learned Government Pleader on instructions submitted that Exhibit P6 has been received and the same is pending. Therefore, there will be a direction to the 1st respondent to take a decision on Exhibit P6 revision petition, after hearing the petitioner, respondents 4 to 7 and any other affected parties, within a period of four months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. The petitioner will produce a copy of this judgment along with a copy of the writ petition for compliance. This writ petition is disposed of as above. T.R. RAMACHANDRAN NAIR JUDGE smp
