I have also heard Mrs . K.

All the writ petitions by and between the same parties pertain t o the claim of seniority for the purpose of holding the charge of Headmaster in Jalkhana Batuakhana High School. From the materials on record, it appears that t he disputed questions of fact are involved in the writ petitions and accordingly , I am of the considered view that it will be appropriate for the Government in the Education Department to decide the issue after hearing all the parties invol ved. The writ petitions are disposed of directing the Commissioner an d Secretary to the Government of Assam in the Education Department to take on re cord the grievance of the petitioners and thereafter, to decide the same in acco rdance with law as expeditiously as possible preferably within 30th September, 2 009. After such decision regarding the seniority of the petitioners, consequent ial order will follow.
