Certain vacancies in various categories of teachers are said to have arisen in the school. Stating that the appointments against 3 aided posts and 8 unaided posts have been made, the petitioner submitted proposals to the 3rd respondent, for according approval. The 3rd respondent, in turn, forwarded the proposals, to the 2nd respondent, vide proceedings, dated 05.03.2008. The grievance of the petitioner is that further steps of placing the proposals before the High Level Committee have not been taken, though several years have elapsed and it seeks appropriate directions in this regard. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for School Education. The Government constituted a High Level Committee, to examine the matters relating to approval of the appointments made against aided posts. The proposals submitted by the petitioner were pending before one authority or other, for the past six years. The existence of vacancies, or the school itself would become questionable, unless appropriate decision is taken, without loss of time. Therefore, the writ petition is disposed of, directing respondents 1 and 2 to take necessary steps on the proposals submitted by the 3rd respondent, vide covering letter, dated 05.03.2001, within a period of three (3) months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. There shall be no order as to costs. _________ 10.07.2008 JSU .....
