BY GOVERNMENT PLEADER SRI.DILIP MOHAN FOR R2 & R3 THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 02/08/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: C.T.RAVIKUMAR, J. ------------------------------------------- W.P.(C).No.24097 OF 2010 ---------------------------------------------- Dated this the 2nd day of August, 2010. JUDGMENT The petitioners were appointed as Upper Primary School Assistants/High School Assistants respectively in the 1st respondent school, as per Exts.P1 to P6. Approval of the said appointments was declined by the 2nd respondent, as per Ext.P7 to P12 orders. In respect of appointments of certain other teachers in the said school effected during the previous year, when the 2nd respondent declined to approve their appointments, they approached this Court by filing W. P.(C) No.24232 of 2009. As per Ext.P13 judgment this Court disposed of the writ petition with a direction to the 1st respondent to reconsider the question of approval of appointment of those persons. The contention of the petitioners is that they have already approached the 3rd respondent through Ext.P14 representation, raising their grievances and since the claims of similarly situated persons are directed to be considered as per Ext.P13, W.P.(C).No.24097 OF 2010 2 Ext.P14 may be directed to be considered by the Government. In the said circumstances, this writ petition is disposed of, without making any observation as to the merits of the contention raised by the petitioners, with a direction to the 3rd respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P14 representation submitted jointly, by the petitioners while taking up the claims of the petitioners in W.P.(C) No.24232 of 2009 for consideration in terms of Ext.P13 judgment.
