JUDGMENT This writ petition is filed mainly for a direction to the Government to take a decision on Ext.P8 revision petition within a time limit. the petitioner was appointed as U.P.S.A. in Shanmukha Vilasom Higher Secondary School, Clappana with effect from 27.11.2006 in the regular vacancy of one Shri J. Harilal who was promoted as H.S.A. (Malayalam). That was rejected by the District Educational Officer for the reason of want of the approval of appointment of the then Manager. The petitioner filed an appeal before the District Educational Officer and the same was rejected. A revision petition filed before the Director of Public Instruction was also rejected. Apparently, the reason stated therein is that the approval of appointment of the Manager was faulty. 2. Since Ext.P8 is pending before the Government, there will be a direction to the Government to take a decision on Ext.P8 within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment, after affording an opportunity of hearing to the petitioner and the sixth respondent Manager or any other affected parties. The writ petition is disposed of as above. No costs. (T.R. Ramachandran Nair, Judge.) kav/
