SIRI JAGAN, J. -------------------------- W.P.(C)No. 35417 OF 2007 ------------------------- Dated this the 30th day of November, 2007 JUDGMENT The petitioner was appointed as a Physical Education Teacher in an aided school on 1.12.1988. She was later promoted as High School Assistant (Social Studies) with effect from 1.6.1999. Against that promotion, the 5th respondent moved the District Educational Officer without success. The Deputy Director of Education also confirmed the same. After six years, the Director of Public Instructions, entertaining a revision filed by the 5th respondent, set aside the orders. The petitioner therefore filed a revision petition under Rule 92 of Chapter XIVA of the Kerala Education Rules as Ext.P5. The petitioner seeks expeditious disposal of the same. 2. I have heard the learned Government pleader also. In the facts and circumstances of the case, the 1st respondent is directed to consider and pass appropriate orders on Ext.P5 as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment, after affording an W.P.(c) No.35417/07 2 opportunity of being heard to the petitioner, the manager of the school and the 5th respondent. The writ petition is disposed of as above. S. SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE Acd
