With the consent of the learned counsel for the petitioner, this petition is heard finally at the stage of admission. By this petition under Article 226 of the Constitution of India, the petitioner prays for issuance of mandamus directing Respondent No.2 to grant approval to the appointment of the petitioner on the post of Clerk in the Respondent No.3 School in view of the proposal submitted by the Management dated 7.10.2008. 2. Indisputably, the proposal seeking approval to the appointment of the petitioner was submitted by the Respondent Management on 7.10.2008 but the same has not been decided. 3. In that light of the fact that the 3 proposal is pending, the relief which the petitioner has prayed for at prayer clause (B) of the petition can not be granted. However, according to us, the interest of justice would be sub-served by directing the Respondent to decide the pending proposal in accordance with law, within a period of eight (8) weeks from today and communicate the decision thereon to the petitioner. 4. Rule is thus made absolute on the above terms with no order as to costs. (S.V.GANGAPURWALA,J.) (P.V.HARDAS,J.) asp/office/wp12110
