Ramachandran Nair,J. These O.Ps. are filed by teachers who sought for appointment in the schools managed by the respective Panchayaths. They claimed preference for appointment based on the appointments earlier granted by the Panchayats after a due process of selection made by a Committee appointed by the Government. In these cases interim orders have been granted permitting the respective Panchayaths to appoint them permanently. It is submitted that interim orders have been complied with and petitioners were consequently appointed in regular vacancies and they are continuing now. It is reported that their appointments have been approved by the authorities concerned. Therefore we do not find any ground to disturb the petitioners' 2 appointment at this distance of time. Accordingly O.Ps. are allowed declaring the eligibility of the petitioners to continue in service. No costs. (C.N.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR) Judge. (T.R.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR) Judge kk 3
