W.P(C) No. 19799 of 2009 ................................................. Dated this the 15th day of July, 2009 J U D G M E N T The petitioner is a Part Time Menial in B.B.M. Teachers Training Institute, appointed as per Ext.P1 order, from 8.10.2007, in a promotion vacancy. According to the petitioner, the said appointment was made under Rule 9(A) of Chapter XXIV (A) of the Kerala Education Rules. By Ext.P2 order, the 3rd respondent refused to approve the same, taking a stand that the appointment of the person promoted from the post is not approved. The appeal preferred by the Manager before the Deputy Director of Education was also dismissed by Ext.P3 order on the same grounds. Aggrieved by the same, the petitioner has filed Ext.P4 revision petition before the 1st respondent under Rule 92 of Chapter XIV A of KER. The petitioner seeks a direction to the 1st respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P4 expeditiously. The counsel for the petitioner points out that by Ext.P5, the promoted person has already been removed from service also. 2. I have heard the learned Government Pleader also. W.P(C) No. 19799 of 2009 -2- In the facts and circumstances of the case, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the 1st respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P5, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment, after affording an opportunity of being heard to the petitioner and the 4th respondent.
