JUDGMENT The petitioner is the Manager of an aided private college affiliated to the third respondent. The matter in issue is with regard to the fixation of staff of the Commerce Department of the College. It is pointed out by the learned counsel for the petitioner that by Ext.P1, the Government mistakenly concluded that four excess teachers are there. Accordingly, it is pointed out that the finding in Ext.P1 with regard to the number of excess teachers available in the Commerce Department of the College and the number of hours are erroneous. This is an apparent error on the face of the records. Inviting the attention of the Government, the petitioner has already filed a representation as per Ext.P2 and since there was no response in the matter, a further reminder has also been forwarded as per Ext.P3. Learned counsel for the petitioner prays that the Government may be directed to consider the same and pass appropriate orders. 2. Heard learned Standing Counsel for the University and learned Govt. Pleader. 3. There will be a direction to the Government to take a decision on wpc 16277/2011 2 Exts.P2 and P3 after hearing the petitioner and the University, within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. The writ petition is disposed of as above. No costs. The petitioner will produce a copy of this judgment along with a copy of the writ petition before the first respondent for compliance. (T.R. Ramachandran Nair, Judge.) kav/
