Petitioner completed 18 years on 30.5.2005. It is stated that she is qualified to be appointed as a teacher in the school managed by the sixth respondent and she has filed Ext.P6 seeking appointment under Rule 51B of Chapter XIVA KER. Since there is no decision taken on Ext.P6, I feel that a decision should be taken thereon by the sixth respondent. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of directing the sixth respondent to consider and take a decision on Ext.P6 in accordance with law within a period of three weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. I leave open the petitioner's contentions. (K.M. JOSEPH, JUDGE) sb K.M.JOSEPH, JJ. - - - - - - - - -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - W.A.
