PLEADER SRI.T.T.MAHAMOOD THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 09/03/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S.SIRI JAGAN, J. ================== W.P.(C).No. 5490 of 2010 ================== Dated this the 9th day of March, 2010 J U D G M E N T The petitioner is a UPSA working in the 5th respondent's school. Her grievance in this writ petition is that she has been accommodated against a temporary vacancy, while others, who are younger in age, have been accommodated against permanent vacancies. The petitioner would contend that such action of the manager of the school is against the law laid down by this Court in Epuru Sudhakar v. Government of Andhra Pradesh [2006 (4) KLT S.N. 62 Case No.85] and Geetha.S. v. Geo Thomas.K. & others [2009 (4) KHC 296]. In the above circumstances, the petitioner had filed a revision petition before the 2nd respondent under Rule 8A of Chapter XIV-A of the KER. But, by Ext.P11 order, the revision petition was rejected. The petitioner has now filed Ext.P13 further revision petition before the 1st respondent. The petitioner seeks a direction to the 1st respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P13 expeditiously. 2. I have heard the learned Government Pleader also. 3. 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.P13, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within three months from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this judgment, after affording an opportunity of being heard to the petitioner as well as respondents 5 to 8.
