It is the admitted position that petitioner has preferred Ext.P7 revision petition against Ext.P6 order passed by respondent no.3 under rule 12-E (3) of Chapter XXIII Kerala Education Rule. That being the position, I am satisfied that the revisional authority has to take a decision in the matter. 3. Therefore, this writ petition is disposed of with a direction to respondent no.1 to consider and pass orders on Ext.P7 strictly on its merit and in accordance with law as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within two months from W.P.(C)No.22181 OF 2007 :: 2 :: the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. It will be open to the petitioner to approach the revisional authority for appropriate interim orders, if so advised. 4. Respondent no.1 shall ensure that the petitioner, respondent no.4 and all others who are likely to be affected by any order that may be passed, are afforded sufficient opportunity to be heard before any decision is taken in the matter. Petitioner shall produce a copy of the writ petition along with a certified copy of the judgment before respondent no.1 for compliance. Writ petition is disposed of as above. A.K.BASHEER, JUDGE jes
