Higher Secondary School, Koruthode. The 3rd respondent – DEO passed Ext.P1 staff fixation order for the year 2006-2007 in which an additional post of UPSA was sanctioned. The first petitioner appointed the second petitioner to that post. Respondents 2 and 3 refused to approve the said appointment on the ground that before making appointment prior approval of the Government was mandatory as per Ext.P6 Government order. Against refusal to grant approval, the first petitioner filed Ext.P7 revision petition before the Government. The petitioners now seek expeditious disposal of Ext.P7 revision petition. 2. I have heard the learned Government pleader also. Ext.P7 is dated 28.4.07. As such, it is only appropriate that the 1st respondent disposes of the same expeditiously. This shall be done within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment after affording an opportunity of being W.P.(c) No.32775/07 2 heard to the petitioners. The writ petition is disposed of as above. S. SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE Acd
