She has been excluded from Ext.P3 list of teaching staff for no valid or justifiable reasons. According to the petitioner, she is qualified to be treated as a teaching staff. But in Ext.P3, the petitioner has not been included. 2. Anyhow, I do not propose to deal with the various contentions raised by the petitioner in this connection, in view of the limited prayer made by the learned counsel at the Bar. He submits that petitioner has preferred Ext.P4 before respondent no.1 highlighting all the relevant aspects of the issue. The only prayer is to issue a direction to respondent no.1 to take a decision on Ext.P4 without any delay. 3. In the above facts and circumstances, writ petition is W.P.(C)No.25384 OF 2007 :: 2 :: disposed of with a direction to respondent no.1 to consider and pass orders on Ext.P4 strictly on its merit and in accordance with law as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. Needless to mention that the petitioner, manager and all others who are likely to be affected by any order that may be passed shall be afforded sufficient opportunity to be heard before any decision is taken in the matter. Petitioner shall produce a copy of the writ petition along with a certified copy of the judgment before respondent no.1 for compliance. Writ petition is disposed of as above. A.K.BASHEER, JUDGE jes
