JUDGMENT The petitioner was appointed as an Upper Primary School Assistant in the 3rd respondent school. As per Ext.P1, the 2nd respondent declined to approve the said appointment and rejected the same as per Ext.P2. The reason for declining approval to the appointment of the petitioner was that the appointment of one Sri. Josy Thomas as U.P.S.A, in whose resignation vacancy the petitioner was appointed, has not been approved. Since his appointment was not approved his resignation was also not accepted. Though an appeal was preferred against Ext.P2, same was dismissed by the D.E.O as per Ext.P3 order. The 3rd respondent-Manager took up the matter in revision before the Director of Public Instruction. However, the same was also dismissed as per Ext.P4. Subsequently, the appointment of the said Sri. Josy Thomas as U.P.S.A was approved with effect from 2.6.2003 as per Ext.P5 order dated 13.4.2009. Thereafter, as per Ext.P6 order dated W.P.(C).No.24033 OF 2010 2 24.12.2009, his resignation was also accepted by the 2nd respondent. Therefore, according to the petitioner, the reasons assigned for declining approval to his appointment are no more in existence. Pointing out the aforesaid developments, the petitioner has approached 1st respondent by filing Ext.P7 revision petition. It is still pending before the 1st respondent. In the said circumstances, this writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the 1st respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P7 revision petition taking into account Ext.P5 and P6 orders expeditiously, at any rate within a period of two months from the date of receipt of copy of this judgment, with notice to the petitioner and the 3rd respondent.
