(C) No. 26847 OF 2010 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dated this the 20th day of August, 2010 J U D G M E N T The petitioner was appointed as Full-Time Sanskrit Teacher in Wardha Model U.P. School, Thayyil as per Ext.P1 order. In respect of the said school, a Full-Time post of Sanskrit Teacher was sanctioned by way of Group C diversion. However, the appointment of the petitioner was approved only as a Part-time Sanskrit Teacher. Feeling aggrieved by the order passed by the third respondent-A.E.O rejecting the proposal of appointment of the petitioner as Full time Sanskrit Teacher, the matter was taken in appeal before the Deputy Director of Education, Kannur. The said appeal was rejected and against which a revision was filed against the same. The said revision was rejected by the second respondent as per Ext.P5 order. In the said circumstances, the petitioner has preferred Ext.P6 revision petition before the first respondent. The contention of the petitioner is that a Full time post of Sanskrit Teacher was sanctioned to the school by Group C diversion and the incumbent who held the said post was WPC.26847/2010 : 2 : appointed and approved as Full time Sanskrit Teacher and therefore, there is no reason for rejecting approval of appointment of the petitioner as Full time Sanskrit Teacher. According to the petitioner, the said action is unsustainable in the light of Ext.P4 Government Order No. 371/2000/G.Edn. dated 13.11.2000. The petitioner has raised all such contentions in Ext.P6 revision petition. It is a statutory revision petition. In the circumstances, this Writ Petition is disposed of with a direction to the first respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P6 revision petition submitted by the petitioner expeditiously, at any rate, within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment with notice to the petitioner and the fourth respondent.
