JUDGMENT The petitioners are respectively the Higher Secondary School Teacher (Maths) and the Principal of Holy Family Higher Secondary School, Cherthala. The petitioners were appointed by transfer as per Exts.P1 and P1(a) with effect from 7.8.2000 as HSST. Ext.P2 is the order granting approval of appointments of the petitioners. Their services were initially approved with effect from 4.11.2000 as HSST and HSST(Jr) respectively. Later on, the second petitioner was treated as full time and as such an approval was granted as per Ext.P2(a) with effect from 4.11.2000. They are mainly aggrieved by the approval granted with effect from 4.11.2000. Seeking for modification of the same, the petitioners have preferred Exts.P3 and P3(a) representations before the second respondent. Exts.P4 and P4(a) are the representations preferred by the Manager in that regard also. 2. Since the matter is kept pending without passing any orders, the petitioners have approached this court seeking for an early disposal of the representations mentioned above. There will be a direction to the second wpc 31256/2009 2 respondent to take a decision on Exts.P3 and P3(a) and Exts.P4 and P4(a), after hearing the petitioners and the Manager, within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. The writ petition is disposed of as above. No costs. (T.R. Ramachandran Nair, Judge.) kav/
