PLEADER SRI.T.T.MAHAMOOD THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 17/03/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S.SIRI JAGAN, J. ================== W.P.(C).No. 8802 of 2010 ================== Dated this the 17th day of March, 2010 J U D G M E N T While working as a UPSA in the 3rd respondent's school, the petitioner was promoted as H.S.A. (Hindi) from 5.6.2000. Later on, on account of division fall, she was reverted as UPSA for the year 2006- 07. Consequentially she is a protected teacher. The petitioner claims that notwithstanding the fact that she has been reverted as UPSA, going by Government Order, G.O(P) No.178/02/G.Edn. dated 28.6.2002, the petitioner is entitled to have her salary as H.S.A. protected in the post of UPSA also. The petitioner has filed Ext.P7 representation claiming that relief before the 1st respondent. The petitioner seeks a direction to the 1st respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P7 expeditiously. 2. I have heard the learned Government Pleader also. 3. 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.P7, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within three months from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this judgment, after affording an opportunity of being heard to the petitioner.
