The case of the petitioner is that after her appointment as Headmistress of the School on 21.04.2007, the petitioner has been conducting various affairs of the school without the influence of any other outside agencies. It is pointed out that this has infuriated the PTA President and the retired Assistant Educational Officer, Ramanathan. 2. The case of the petitioner is that the PTA President who is a civil contractor was keen to get all the civil works of the school but the works awarded were not properly done. The petitioner took objection in the matter and is therefore subjected to harassment by them. The Assistant Educational Officer who is enmical to the petitioner has filed a report before the Deputy Director of Education. The petitioner has produced Exhibits P4 and P5 news paper reports also which shows the better results of the school during her tenure. It is pointed out that false reports W.P.(C) No.16882/2009 2 have been forwarded to the Deputy Director of Education to see that the petitioner is replaced and is subjected to disciplinary action. 3. Learned Government Pleader on instruction submits that the report of the Assistant Educational Officer has been received by the Deputy Director of Education and so far no orders have been passed in the matter. All that the petitioner seeks is for a direction to take a decision on Exhibit P6 before any final orders are passed on the report submitted by the Assistant Educational Officer. Therefore, there will be a direction to the Deputy Director of Education to consider and pass orders on Exhibit P6 before any final orders are passed in respect of the report of the Assistant Educational Officer said to have been submitted before the Deputy Director of Education. The petitioner will produce a copy of this writ petition along with a copy of the judgment for compliance. This writ petition is disposed of as above. T.R. RAMACHANDRAN NAIR JUDGE smp
