RAMACHANDRAN NAIR, J. --------------------------------------- W.P.(C) No.19533 OF 2011 --------------------------------------- Dated this the 25th day of July, 2011. J U D G M E N T Both the petitioners are working as High School Assistants (Malayalam) in the school managed by the 4th respondent. The petitioners along with four other teachers were appointed on 01.06.2007. The approval of appointment was rejected mainly for the reason that the appointment of one Smt.Deepa M.V., a senior teacher, has not been approved. 2. From out of the six persons appointed, serial Nos.2 and 3 had approached this Court by filing W.P.(C) No.12007/2011 and the same was disposed of by Ext.P7 judgment. Therein, this Court, after noticing the fact that the Government has passed an order as per Ext.P6 herein directing approval of appointment of Smt.Deepa M.V as H.S.A (Malayalam), has directed the District Educational Officer to pass orders with regard to the approval of appointment of the petitioners therein within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of that judgment. W.P.(C) No.19533/2011 2 3. Learned counsel for the petitioners submitted that the situation of the petitioners herein is also identical and their approval is also withheld as the approval of appointment of Smt.Deepa.M.V was not granted. It is prayed that in the light of the directions issued by this Court in Ext.P7 judgment, similar directions may be issued to the District Educational Officer to pass orders on the proposal for approval. There will be a direction to the 3rd respondent to finalise the action with regard to the approval of appointment of the petitioners along with that of the petitioners in W.P.(C) No. 12007/2011. The petitioners 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. T.R. RAMACHANDRAN NAIR JUDGE smp
