THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 21/08/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: T.R. RAMACHANDRAN NAIR, J. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ W.P.(C). No.24058/2009-B ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dated this the 21st day of August, 2009 J U D G M E N T The petitioner herein was appointed as a full time Urdu Teacher in Avila U.P. School as per Ext.P1 appointment order in a retirement vacancy which arose on 31/03/2006. From 1979-80 onwards, the full time Urdu post was being sanctioned by diversion of 3 periods from Art and for 15 periods of work. This is evidenced by Exts.P2 to P2(b) staff fixation orders. But by Ext.P3 staff fixation order for the year 2006-07, the post was reduced to part time. The Manager had filed an appeal against the same which was rejected as per Ext.P4. The petitioner is relying upon Exts.P5 to P7 Government Orders to show that Group 'C' diversion is possible and the said orders are still in force. Even though the Manager had filed a revision petition before the Director of Public Instruction, that was rejected as per Ext.P8. Presently, the petitioner has filed a revision petition, as per Ext.P9, before the Government. The petitioner prays that Ext.P9 may be disposed of within a time frame. 2. Therefore, there will be a direction to the first respondent to take a decision on Ext.P9 after hearing the petitioner and the Manager W.P.(C). No.24058/2009 -:2:- within a period of four months from the date of receipt of a copy of the judgment. The writ petition is disposed of as above. No costs. (T.R. Ramachandran Nair, Judge.) ms
