RAMACHANDRAN NAIR, J. --------------------------------------- W.P.(C) No.13764 OF 2009 --------------------------------------- Dated this the 21st day of May, 2009. J U D G M E N T Petitioner is a claimant under Rule 51A of Chapter XIV A of Kerala Education Rules. Second respondent is the Manager. Presently, the complaint raised by the petitioner is that ignoring the petitioner's claim, respondents 3 and 4 have been appointed as UPSA in the School. Petitioner claims the benefit of Rule 51A of Chapter XIV A of KER on the basis of the appointment by the Manager on 23.08.2000. It is pointed out that going by Exhibit P1, the said appointment has been approved by the Educational Officer also. The petitioner was terminated from service on 14.07.2005 for want of vacancy. 2. Apprehending that the Educational Officer will grant approval without considering the claim of the petitioner, the petitioner has already approached the District Educational Officer by way of Exhibit P4 representation. Petitioner seeks for an early disposal of Exhibit P4 in the light of the fact that the claim survives even today. W.P.(C) No.13764/09 2 There will be a direction to the first respondent to consider Exhibit P4 with notice to respondents 2 to 4 while considering the grant of approval of appointment of respondents 3 and 4. Appropriate orders will be passed after hearing the respective parties including the petitioner. This writ petition is disposed of as above. T.R.
