According to the petitioner, in view of the Government orders dated 19.5.1971 and 10.12.1980, the part time post of the petitioner is liable to be converted as a full time post. But by Ext.P5 order the first respondent rejected the petition filed by the petitioner in this regard on the ground that the petitioner entered the service on 04.07.1989 and the benefit extended to the Specialist Teachers working in Training Schools as per order dated 10.12.1980 cannot be extended to the petitioner. Petitioner has filed I.A.No.4395/2010 producing Ext.P7 Government order dated 13.12.2001, which according to the petitioner, would show that similarly placed specialist teachers have been granted full time benefit. Petitioner therefore submits that the petitioner's case also is liable to be reconsidered in the 2 WP(C) No.14025 of 2009 light of Ext.P7 order. 2. Learned Government Pleader submits that if the petitoner submits a reprsentation in that regard, the same would be duly considered. 3. In the above circumstances, this writ petition is disposed of as follows:- The petitioner shall file an appropriate representation before the first respondent seeking the said relief. The first respondent shall consider the same and pass appropriate orders thereon in the light of Ext.P7 order as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within two months from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this judgment. I make it clear that, I have not considered the matter on merits and it would be open to the Government to consider the matter in accordance with law. S.SIRI JAGAN JUDGE DMB
