Heard parties. 2. This Court by a common judgment disposed of the the Writ Petitions with directions contained in paragraph 4. The application for voluntary retirement submitted by the 5th respondent in O.P.No.3978/2005 produced as Exhibit R5(j) dated 10.11.2007 was directed to be acted upon by the Manager with a further direction to pass appropriate orders allowing her application by the Assistant Educational Officer. 3. It is pointed out in the Review Petitions that subsequent to the judgment the matter regarding the length of service of the petitioner was examined and Annexure-I letter produced along with R.P.No.845/10 was issued to the 5th respondent. It is pointed out that the 5th respondent has only 11 years, three months and 19 days of qualifying service as on R.P.Nos.845,848 & 966/09 . -2- 12.3.2000 after excluding two years and two days for the period of leave without allowance. Even if the suspension period from 13.3.2000 to 30.11.2007 is treated as qualifying service, the teacher will not have 20 years of qualifying service for voluntary retirement. These facts have been detailed in R.P.No.966/2009 filed by the petitioners therein. 4. Directions were issued by this Court on the basis of the facts put by the petitioner in the Writ Petition as well as on the premise that she is having more than 20 years of service on 30.11.2007. Therefore, actually the judgment was passed with an apparent error on such a vital question of fact. Therefore the judgments are recalled and the review petitions are allowed. The Writ Petitions will be posted for hearing on 6.7.2010. T.R.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR, JUDGE. dsn
