J U D G M E N T Petitioner who is stated to be working as a Lower Primary school Assistant in the school under the management of respondent No.5 has got a grievance that his appointment is not being approved on the ground that the appointments of senior claimants are yet to be approved. It is brought to my notice that the manager of the school has preferred Ext.P8 revision Petition before the Government against the order of refusal of approval. It is also pointed out that senior claimants have already been accommodated against regular vacancies as revealed from Ext.P4 and P5. It is also submitted by learned counsel that petitioner has already been adjusted towards a leave vacancy. These are all matters which have necessarily to be considered by the appropriate authority while the Revision Petition is being heard. Learned counsel submits that petitioner will be satisfied if an appropriate direction is issued to respondent No.1 to expedite the disposal of Ext.P8 revision petition. In the above facts and circumstances the writ petition is disposed of with a direction to respondent No.1 to consider and pass orders on the revision petition which is stated to have been filed by the Manager of the school as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. Respondent No.1 shall ensure that apart from the Manager, petitioner is also afforded an opportunity to be heard before a decision is taken in the matter. A.K. Basheer Judge. an.
