It is stated that the petitioner's husband is working in Himachal Pradesh. The mother-in-law of the petitioner, a widow, whose husband was in the Army service, is also residing with the petitioner at Kunnamkulam. It is also stated by the petitioner that one of her juniors, who is shown as serial No.80 in Ext.P2, was posted in Thrissur District. It is also pointed out that one Leena Joseph, who was promoted as Principal and posted at Government Higher Secondary School, Kadikkad, Thrissur District, relinquished her right W.P.(C).No.36628 OF 2010 2 to be promoted as Principal, as per Ext.P5(2) statement of relinquishment. Pointing out these facts, the petitioner submitted Ext.P5(1) representation dated 2.12.2010 before the Government. Ext.P5(1) is not disposed of. 2. Since Ext.P5(1) is pending before the Government, I am of the view that for the time being, it would be sufficient, if a direction is issued to the first respondent to consider and dispose of Ext.P5(1) expeditiously. All other contentions raised by the petitioner are left open. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is disposed of as follows: The first respondent shall consider and dispose of Ext.P5(1) representation dated 2.12.2010 submitted by the petitioner at the earliest, and at any rate within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a copy of the judgment. The W.P.(C).No.36628 OF 2010 3 petitioner shall produce a copy of the Writ Petition and a certified copy of the judgment before the first respondent. K.T.SANKARAN, JUDGE. cms
