GOVERNMENT PLEADER SHRI.A.J.VARGHESE THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 18/02/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S.SIRI JAGAN, J. ================== W.P.(C).No.5344 of 2010 ================== Dated this the 18th of February, 2010 J U D G M E N T The 1st petitioner is the manager of an aided school. He appointed the 2nd petitioner as an Arabic teacher in the school from 2.6.2004. The same has not yet been approved. Initially non-approval was on account of want of relinquishment of the claim by the 6th respondent. When the 6th respondent furnished relinquishment letter, another reason has been found out to deny approval that the school has become uneconomic. The petitioners would contend that since the appointment was in 2004, the present situation of the school cannot affect the appointment made at a time when the school was not uneconomic. Taking this contention, the 1st petitioner has filed Ext.P5 before the 1st respondent. The petitioners seek a direction to the 1st respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P5 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 appropriate orders on Ext.P5, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within 3 months from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this 2 judgment, after affording an opportunity of being heard to the petitioners. The petitioners shall produce a copy of the writ petition along with a certified copy of this judgment before the 1st respondent for compliance.
