JUDGMENT The petitioner is working as U.P.S.A. in the school managed by the 4th respondent. The 4th respondent is having two High Schools, one is at Kurichi and the other is at Sivagiri in Varkala. The petitioner joined as UPSA on 7.6.1994 and was later promoted as HSA (Maths) with effect from 25.9.1998 and was reverted with effect from 15.7.2008. According to the petitioner, the 5th respondent who is her junior, was retained as H.S.A., even though she was promoted as HSA (Social Science) only on 18.6.2007. 2. During the academic year 2008-2009 one post of HSA (Maths) became excess. The Manager ordered reversion of the petitioner as UPSA as per Ext.P1. The matter was taken up before the Government and finally before this court in Writ Petition No.33617/2008. Ext.P5 is the judgment. As per the directions contained in Ext.P5, the Government passed Ext.P7 consequential orders directing the District Educational Officer to pass orders within two months. 3. Presently, the complaint raised by the petitioner is that the third respondent District Educational Officer has not passed any order. In the wpc 21012/2009 2 light of the fact that Ext.P8 is pending before the third respondent, there will be a direction to the third respondent to take a decision on the same after hearing the petitioner, respondents 5 and 6 and the Manager. Appropriate orders will be passed within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. The writ petition is disposed of as above. No costs. (T.R. Ramachandran Nair, Judge.) kav/
