Learned counsel for the petitioner states that the petitioner has made a representation against the said show-cause notice dated 1.3.2007 to Education Officer (Primary) which is pending for decision and, therefore, prayed that direction be given to Respondent No. 3 to decide the same within a stipulated period and till then the parties may be directed to maintain status quo. 2 4.
