BY GOVERNMENT PLEADER SRI. A.J. VARGHESE. THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 01/04/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S. SIRI JAGAN, J. ------------------------------------ W.P.(C)No.11046 OF 2008 ---------------------------------------- Dated this the 1st day of April, 2008 JUDGMENT The petitioners are teachers appointed by the manager of St.Peter's Vocational Higher Secondary School as UPSA and HSA by Exts.P1 to P3 orders. Their grievance in this writ petition is that the 2nd respondent has not passed any orders regarding approval of their appointments. They, therefore, seek a direction to the 2nd respondent to consider the question of approval of their appointments by Exts.P1 to P3 and pass appropriate orders thereon expeditiously. 2. I have heard the learned Government pleader also. When appointment orders are forwarded to the 2nd respondent, he has a duty to pass orders on the same expeditiously. Therefore, I direct the 2nd respondent to consider the question of approval of Exts.P1 to P3 appointment orders of the petitioners and to pass appropriate orders thereon in accordance with law, W.P.(c)No.11046/08 2 as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. The writ petition is disposed of as above. S. SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE Acd
