THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 07/04/2010,THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: rs. S. SIRI JAGAN, J. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - W.P.(C)No.12286 of 2010 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dated this the 7th day of April, 2010 J U D G M E N T The petitioners are aided school teachers appointed by the 6th respondent. Ext.P9 series are the appointment orders. The manager had forwarded the same to the 5th respondent for approval. Petitioners seek a direction to the 5th respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P9 series as expeditiously as possible. The learned Government Pleader submits that for considering the same the manager has to comply with the conditions in Ext.P10 order. He also submits that it has to be ascertained as to whether there are any other objections for approving the same also. I am of opinion that when appointment orders are forwarded to the A.E.O. by the manager, the A.E.O. is statutorily bound to pass orders on the same either way. Of course, he wold be entitled to consider all matters regarding the same. But he has to pass W.P.(C)No.12286 of 2010 -2- an order on the same. Accordingly there would be a direction to the 5th respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P9 series appointment orders as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment, after affording an opportunity of being heard to the petitioners and the manager.
