JUDGMENT Heard Sri. V.A.Muhammed, the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner and Sri. T.T.Muhamood, the learned Government Pleader appearing for the official respondents. In the nature of the order that I propose to pass, it is not necessary to issue notice to or hear the fourth respondent. 2. The petitioner, who was approved as the Manager of A.K.M. Vocational Higher Secondary School, Thadicadu by Ext.P7 order dated 24.7.2008 passed by the District Educational Officer, Punalur has filed this Writ Petition aggrieved by Ext.P9 order of stay passed by the State of Kerala on a revision petition filed by the fourth respondent staying the operation of the order passed by the educational officer approving him as the Manager. The pleadings disclose that the fourth respondent had challenged Ext.P7 before the Director of Public Instruction in appeal and that was rejected by Ext.P8 order dated 22.1.2009. The fourth respondent thereafter moved the Government in revision petition dated 27.1.2009 and on that revision petition, an interim order of stay was passed staying the operation of Ext.P8. The learned Government Pleader appearing for the official respondents submits that Ext.P9 order of stay was passed on the revision petition filed by the fourth respondent WP(C) 10306/09 -: 2 :- challenging Ext.P7 and Ext.P8 orders and that the said revision petition is pending. In my opinion, since the Government in seisin of the matter the only relief that can be granted to the petitioner is to dispose of this Writ Petition with a direction to the Government to pass orders on the revision petition dated 27.1.2009 filed by the fourth respondent and referred to in Ext.P9 expeditiously. I accordingly dispose of this Writ Petition with the following directions: (i) The Secretary to Government, General Education Department shall within two weeks from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this judgment furnish to the petitioner a copy of the revision petition dated 27.1.2009 filed by the fourth respondent. (ii) The Secretary to Government, General Education Department shall within two months from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this judgment pass orders on the said revision petition after notice to and affording the petitioner and the fourth respondent a reasonable opportunity of being heard. (iii) The Secretary to Government, General Education Department shall after orders are passed on the revision petition, communicate copies thereof to the petitioner and the fourth respondent simultaneously.
