RAVINDRAN, JJ. --------------------------------------------------------------- W.A.NO.2257 OF 2007 -------------------------------------------------------------- Dated this the 11th day of January, 2008. JUDGMENT Balakrishnan Nair, J: Certain lecturers working under the District Institute of Education and Training in Kannur District have approached this Court seeking a direction to the Government to frame Special Rules for appointment to the post of lecturers in such institutes functioning in various districts. The said writ petition was disposed of by Anneuxre-A judgment of this Court directing the Government to finalise the Special Rules within six months from the date of production of a copy of the judgment. The said direction was issued based on the submission made by the State in its counter affidavit. On the expiry of the time limit, the respondents in the judgment moved the learned Single Judge for extension of time for a period of six months from 19.7.2007. After hearing the learned counsel for the writ petitioners and the learned Government Pleader, the learned Single Judge allowed the said application. W.A.NO.2257/07 . 2 2. This writ appeal is filed by a stranger to that judgment after obtaining leave from this Court. The extension of time granted by this Court will expire in another week. Further, it is an order passed in the discretion of the learned Single Judge, which cannot be interfered with unless it is shown to be perverse. We notice that the writ petitioners in that case have no grievance against the extension of time. In view of the above facts and circumstances, we are not inclined to entertain this writ appeal. Accordingly, it is dismissed. K. BALAKRISHNAN NAIR, JUDGE. P.N. RAVINDRAN, JUDGE. cl W.A.NO.2257/07 . 3
