The petitioners were appointed as HSA(Natural Science) and HSA(Malayalam) in the school managed by the 3rd respondent with effect from 7.6.2011. It is averred in the Writ Petition that the appointments were made in retirement vacancies. Exhibits P3 and P4 are the orders objecting the aforesaid approval. The petitioners also rely upon Exhibit P5 order passed by the District Educational Officer wherein the view taken is that there is no inconsistency and ambiguity in appointing the 2nd petitioner as HSA(Malayalam). I am not expressing anything on the merits of the matter, since it is upto the 1st respondent-Deputy Director of Education to take a decision on Exhibit P6 and P7 appeals. The first respondent will pass appropriate orders after hearing the parties within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of W.P.(C)No.18741/11 -2- this judgment.
