SIRI JAGAN, J. ---------------------------------- W.P.(C)No. 34827 OF 2007 ------------------------------------- Dated this the 26th day of November, 2007 JUDGMENT The petitioners are school teachers. They are aggrieved by the proposed action to terminate their services on account of their not having obtained special training as provided under the Recruitment Rules. The petitioners have applied for exemption from special training in respect of which Ext.P4 is pending. The petitioners seek expeditious disposal of Ext.P4. 2. I have heard the learned Government pleader also. The learned Government pleader points out that Ext.P4 is a petition addressed to the Minister and not to the Secretary of the Government as required. 3. I feel that the same can be construed as a petition filed before the 1st respondent. Accordingly, I direct the 1st respondent to consider and pass appropriate orders on Ext.P4 as expeditiously as possible. The petitioner shall produce a copy of the writ petition along with a certified copy of this judgment for W.P.(c) No.34827/07 2 compliance. Till orders are passed on Ext.P4, no further proceedings shall be taken against the petitioners. The writ petition is disposed of as above. S. SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE Acd
