RAMACHANDRAN NAIR, J. --------------------------------------- W.P.(C) No.30991 OF 2010 --------------------------------------- Dated this the 8th day of June, 2011. J U D G M E N T The petitioner seeks for a direction to the additional 5th respondent to take a decision on Ext.P9 which is a statutory revision petition. The petitioner is seeking approval of appointment as Full Time Sanskrit Teacher. 2. The petitioner was appointed as part time LG Sanskrit Teacher with effect from 01.01.2008 by the 4th respondent Manager as per Ext.P1 order. It is pointed out that the appointment was in a retirement vacancy of one Smt.M.N.Omana who retired from service on 31.03.2007 and she was given the benefit of full time appointment in terms of G.O(MS) No.43/78 by diversion of Group C subjects. 3. What happened in the case of the petitioner is that even though the Manager requested for granting full time benefit, that was not granted by the Assistant Educational Officer. A revision petition filed before the Director of Public Instruction has also W.P.(C) No.30991/2010 2 gone against the pleas raised by the Manager. The petitioner is relying upon various orders passed by the Government and the Circulars issued in the matter. Since Ext.P9 revision petition is pending before the Government, there will be a direction to the additional 5th respondent to take a decision on Ext.P9 revision petition, after hearing the petitioner and the Manager, within a period of four months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. The petitioner will forward a copy of this judgment along with a copy of the writ petition for compliance. This writ petition is disposed of as above. Sd/- T.R.
