His grievance is that the appointment has not been approved. 2. Staff fixation order for the year 2006-07 shows that there was a reduction in the post of Physical Education Teacher. If that be so, the remedy of the Manager was to have challenged Ext.P6 order passed by the DEO.

It is open to the petitioner to bring to the notice of the authority any binding precedent that this Court may have rendered in this behalf. Writ petition is disposed of as above. V.GIRI, Judge mrcs
