JUDGMENT The main prayer in the writ petition is to direct the Government to dispose of Ext.P7 revision petition after hearing the petitioner and other affected parties. The petitioner was appointed as full-time Urdu Teacher in the fifth respondent School. Earlier this was sanctioned by way of Group C diversion and after the retirement of the full-time Urdu Teacher, the Manager promoted one Shri Upesh who was working as a peon, as full- time Urdu Teacher. When approval was denied by the department, he resigned and joined another high school and later the petitioner was appointed. The Asst. Educational Officer declined the approval of appointment of the petitioner on the ground that the retirement vacancy ought to have been filled up from the list of protected teachers, since the school was under the category of newly opened schools. 2. Ext.P7 revision petition is pending against the rejection of the approval. Learned counsel for the petitioner prayed that the first respondent be directed to dispose of the revision petition within a time frame. wpc 1852/2011 2 3. There will be a direction to the first respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P7 revision petition after hearing the parties concerned, within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. The petitioner will produce a copy of this judgment along with a copy of the writ petition before the first respondent for compliance. The writ petition is disposed of as above. No costs. (T.R. Ramachandran Nair, Judge.) kav/
