THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 20/01/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S. Siri Jagan, J. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= W.P(C) No. 37496 of 2009 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Dated this, the 20th day of January, 2010. J U D G M E N T The petitioner was appointed as a L.P.S.A in the M.K.A.M. L.P. School, Mannur for the year 1997-98 for the period from 11-6-1997 to 31-3-1998. That appointment was approved by the 4th respondent. The petitioner was again re-appointed in the same vacancy with effect from 1-6-1998 by Ext. P2 order. The petitioner is continuing in service pursuant to that appointment, which appointment was also approved. The petitioner claimed vacation salary for the period from 1-4-1998 to 31-5-1998, which was rejected. The petitioner filed appeal before the 3rd respondent, which was rejected by Ext. P4. The reason for rejection was that the appeal was belated and preference should go to a Rule 51A claimant. The manager of the school preferred an appeal before the 2nd respondent against Ext. P4 order. But, by Ext. P5 order, that was also dismissed. The petitioner's Ext. P6 revision is pending and no orders have been passed thereon. The petitioner seeks expeditious disposal of Ext. P6 revision. 2. I have heard the learned Government Pleader also. In the facts and circumstances of the case, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the 1st respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext. P6 as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within four months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. Sd/- S. Siri Jagan, Judge. Tds/ [TRUE COPY] P.S TO JUDGE.
