RAMACHANDRAN NAIR, J. --------------------------------------- W.P.(C) No.36895 OF 2009 --------------------------------------- Dated this the 21st day of December, 2009. J U D G M E N T The petitioners herein are the children of one late K.P.Govindan and late P.Devaki. Sree Narayana Basic Upper Primary School, Vadakkumpad, Thalassery originally belonged to late K.P.Govindan and he was the approved manager of the school. On his death, the managership devolved on his widow P.Devaki who died on 08.02.1989. On her death, as per the terms of the Will, it is asserted that, the managership devolved upon the petitioners and respondents 3 and 4 jointly. There is a dispute now regarding the managership of the school. 2. The petitioners are now aggrieved by Exhibits P12 and P22 orders passed by the 1st and 6th respondents respectively, obviously under Rule 8 of Chapter XIV-A of Kerala Education Rules. Learned Government Pleader points out that the petitioners have got an effective remedy under Rule 92 of Chapter XIV-A K.E.R to challenge the impugned orders. Learned W.P.(C) No.36895/2009 2 counsel for the petitioners sought some time to move the Government in the matter. Therefore, if the petitioners file an appropriate revision petition before the Government within a period of two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment, the same will be considered and appropriate decision will be taken by the Government within a further period of two months, after hearing the petitioners and other affected parties. This writ petition is disposed of as above. T.R. RAMACHANDRAN NAIR JUDGE smp
