RAMACHANDRAN NAIR, J. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ W.P.(C). No.30231/2009-Y ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dated this the 26th day of October, 2009 J U D G M E N T The petitioner herein is aggrieved by Ext.P5 staff fixation order passed by the District Educational Officer. The petitioner has filed a representation as per Ext.P6 before the said D.E.O and he seeks for a direction to the D.E.O to consider the same. The petitioner was initially appointed as U.P.S.A with effect from 23/06/1999 and promoted as H.S.A (S.S) on 04/09/2000 in a permanent vacancy at the St.Mary's G.H.S., Kozhencherry. Thereafter, she was transferred to St.Thomas H.S.S., Kozhencherry and joined duty there with effect from 15/07/2007. The petitioner was accommodated as H.S.A (English) during the staff fixation for the academic year 2007-08, which was approved by the District Educational Officer as well as the Deputy Director of Education, Pathanamthitta. This is evident from Exts.P1 and P2. 2. Before the finalisation of the staff fixation order for this year, 2009-2010, the Manager on 15/07/2009 reverted the petitioner as U.P.S.A and posted her in St.Thomas H.S.S., Kozhencherry in a leave vacancy of one Aleyamma T.Alexander, U.P.S.A. The petitioner was thereafter W.P.(C). No.30231/2009 -:2:- promoted and posted as per order dated 22/07/2009, in a leave vacancy of one T.C.Thomas, H.S.A (S.S) in the same school from 23/07/2009 to 20/10/2009. Ext.P3 is the said order. 3. The petitioner contends that reversion of the petitioner as U.P.S.A is not proper. 4. In Ext.P6 representation filed by the petitioner, the complaint is mainly regarding the reversion of the petitioner and the staff fixation order finalised by the District Educational Officer. 5. The petitioner can avail the remedy of revision before the Director of Public Instruction under the relevant provisions of Chapter XXIII K.E.R. If the petitioner files a proper revision petition before the first respondent along with a petition for condonation of delay, the same will be considered and appropriate orders shall be passed after hearing the petitioner and the Manager expeditiously. The writ petition is disposed of as above. No costs. (T.R. Ramachandran Nair, Judge.) ms
