The appeal filed before the District Educational Officer also ended in dismissal. Ext.P3 is the order passed by the D.E.O The Petitioner filed revision petition before the Government . Ext.P4 is the revision petition. The learned Government Pleader pointed out that the petitioner overlooking the revisional authority namely the Director of Public Instruction, filed the revision petition before the Government. The petitioner ought to have filed the revision petition before the D.P.I instead of before the Government. So the direction to the 1st respondent, sought for to consider the said revision petition, is not allowable. I direct the petitioner to file a revision petition before the Director of Public instruction (revisional authority). if the petitioner files the revision petition before the D.P.I. within a period of four weeks from today, the D.P.I shall entertain the same without insisting about the time limit and dispose of the matter on merits in accordance with law. This writ petition is disposed of as above. (HARUN-UL-RASHID, JUDGE) es.
