TRUE COPY P.A.TO JUDGE dsn T.R.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR, J. -------------------------------------------------- W.P.(C)No.33308 of 2011 -------------------------------------------------- DATED THIS THE 14th DAY OF DECEMBER, 2011 JUDGMENT The petitioner, who is working as Upper Primary School Assistant in the school managed by the 5th respondent, is aggrieved by the delay in disposal of Exhibit P12 revision petition by the Government. 2. The petitioner was appointed in the school by different orders, namely Exhibits P1, P2 and P7. Exhibits P3 and P4 are the orders rejecting the approval. 3. There was a dispute regarding managership of the school, which has now been settled and the 5th respondent is the present Manager. The petitioner was appointed by the 5th respondent. 4. Exhibit P12 revision petition is dated 9.6.2008. Thereafter also, the petitioner filed a representation as per Exhibit P13 seeking for approval of appointment and for payment of salary. It appears that the petitioner has produced along with Exhibit P13, copies of approval of appointments of Smt.O.Beena W.P.(C)No.33308/11 -2- and Smt.Ajitha Kumari, who are seniors to the petitioner as well as the order approving the appointment of the 5th respondent as Manager. 5. Since this is an old matter, the learned counsel for the petitioner seeks for a direction to the Government to dispose of the revision petition within a time frame. 6. There will be a direction to the first respondent to take a decision on Exhibits P12 and P13, after hearing the petitioner and the Manager within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. The petitioner will forward a copy of the Writ Petition along with a copy of this judgment to the 1st respondent for compliance. The Writ Petition is disposed of as above.
