Siri Jagan, J. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= W.P(C) No. 36866 of 2009 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Dated this, the 5th day of January, 2010. J U D G M E N T The petitioner is a graduate teacher working in an aided school under the 1st respondent-manager. She was originally appointed as a full-time craft teacher in a retirement vacancy on 31-3-1980, which appointment was approved by the 2nd respondent. However, the 3rd respondent cancelled the order of transfer invoking powers under Rule 12C of Chapter XXIII of the Kerala Education Rules. Ultimately, by Ext. P1 order, the Government approved the post of the petitioner as a part-time post. The petitioner submitted Ext. P2 petition to review the order seeking conversion of the post to a part-time post. The petitioner's complaint is that although other similarly situated teachers have been given full time benefits, in the case of the petitioner, no action has been taken in that regard. 2. The learned Government Pleader today, produces before me a copy of the Government Order dated 31-12-2009, in which it is stated that the Government has decided to give full time benefits to all part-time specialists teachers, who have completed 15 years of service from the date of that order. The learned Government Pleader submits that the petitioner has also been included in the list of teachers for granting the said benefits. Accordingly, recording the said submission, the writ petition is disposed of. Sd/- S. Siri Jagan, Judge. Tds/ [TRUE COPY] P.S TO JUDGE.
