When a vacancy of Peon arose in the School, the petitioner laid a claim for that post under Rule 51A of Chapter XIVA of the Kerala Education Rules. Disregarding that claim, the fifth respondent was appointed. Against the same, the petitioner approached the District Educational Officer, who rejected the same by Ext.P5 order. The petitioner has filed Ext.P6 revision against that order before the first respondent. The petitioner seeks a direction to the first respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P6 expeditiously. 2. I have heard the learned Government Pleader also. Having heard both sides, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the first respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P6, after affording an opportunity of being heard to the W.P.(C)No.38170/10 2 petitioner and respondents 4 and 5 as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
