The college in which he is working was extended grant-in-aid. The petitioner contends that the management sent proposals on 13-3-2003 to the second respondent for absorption of the petitioner in the aided vacancy. The petitioner further contends that the second respondent also recommended the case of the petitioner to the first respondent and the matter is pending with the first respondent. The petitioner further contends that on 13-9-2003, he made a representation to the first respondent, requesting to pass orders for absorbing him into an aided post, but the first respondent has not passed any orders on his representation. The petitioner therefore, approached this Court seeking mandamus to declare the action of the first respondent in not considering the representation of the petitioner dated 13-09-2003 to absorb him as Junior Lecturer in English in the aided post as illegal and arbitrary. Since the petitioner is contending that his representation dated 13-09-2003 is pending with the first respondent, the first respondent is directed to pass appropriate orders on the said representation, according to the rules, within two months from the date of the receipt of a copy of this order. If any orders are already passed as on this date, a copy of the same may be communicated to the petitioner. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. _________________ 28th September 2004.
