In the nature of the order that I propose to pass, it is not necessary to issue notice to or hear the second respondent. 2. The writ petitioner was appointed as Higher Secondary School Teacher in the second respondent's school by Ext.P2 appointment order dated 20.10.2008. The petitioner was appointed in a long term leave vacancy sanctioned as per Ext.P1 Government order dated 19.9.2008. The petitioner's grievance is that though five months have passed, no decision has been taken on the request for approval of her appointment. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the Manager has furnished the details sought by the Regional Deputy Director in Ext.P4 and that there is no reason why the Regional Deputy Director should delay passing of orders in the matter. The learned counsel appearing for the respondents submits that the Regional Deputy Director will take a decision in the matter expeditiously. WP(C).No.10023/2009 2 3. In the light of the above submission, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the Regional Deputy Director, Ernakulam to consider whether the appointment of the petitioner made as per Ext.P2 can be approved. A final decision in the matter shall be taken within six weeks from the date on which the petitioner produces a certified copy of this judgment. The writ petition is disposed of as above.
