JUDGMENT Both the petitioners are specialist teachers, viz. Physical Education Teacher and Needlework Teacher in two different schools in Palakkad District. They have approached this Court to quash Exts.P1 and P3 orders and to direct respondents 3 and 4 to grant approval to the petitioners' appointments as specialist teachers. 2. Learned counsel for the petitioners submitted that a recent judgment of a Division Bench of this Court in W.A. No.259/2010 and connected cases (Ext.P7) has addressed the legal issue in the light of Rule 6 (4) of Chapter XXIII K.E.R. and has issued various directions as evident from para 5 of the judgment. Mainly, the same relates to clubbing arrangement to be made by assessing the number of vacancies and the number of students in various schools and after considering various relevant matters. Learned counsel for the petitioners therefore prayed that the petitioners may be permitted to move the Government seeking the benefit of Ext.P7 judgment. 3. If the petitioners file appropriate representation along with a copy wpc 37800/2007 2 of the judgment Ext.P7, the same will be considered by the Government and appropriate orders will be passed within a period of five months thereafter. The writ petition is disposed of as above. No costs. (T.R. Ramachandran Nair, Judge.) kav/
