JUDGMENT The petitioner is working as a Craft Teacher in Ichlampady Aided Senior Basic School, Kumbla, Kasaragod district. She was initially appointed as a Part Time Craft Teacher on 18.12.1986. The Asst. Educational Officer initially did not approve the post on the ground that the number of students was not more than 200 in complete U.P. Section. However, later on, the Asst Educational Officer approved the appointment from 18.12.1986 to 31.3.1987 and from 1.6.1987 to 14.7.1990 in the light of G.O.(Rt) No.1344/92/G.Edn. dated 21.4.1992 as a Part Time Craft Teacher. In Ext.P1 Govt. Order, the petitioner's request for regularisation in service as Part Time Craft Teacher was considered. The petitioner contends that she had been working as a Full Time Craft Teacher since there is no other specialist teacher in the school. The representation submitted by the petitioner was rejected as per Ext.P3. The petitioner is relying upon the orders passed as per Exts.P5 and P6 in respect of certain other teachers also. The petitioner had earlier approached this court by filing W.P.(C) No.3459/2007 which was not pressed by the petitioner and it was dismissed wpc 30447/2009 2 as per Ext.P7 judgment. 2. The petitioner submits that the above writ petition was got dismissed as she preferred to move the Government for seeking appropriate orders in the matter. Ext.P8 is the representation stated to have been submitted by the petitioner seeking for appropriate reliefs. The petitioner is relying upon Ext.P9, copy of G.O.(Rt) No.5664/2008 dated 27.12.2008 whereby the post of a Physical Education Teacher (Part time) in Ponnium U.P. School was converted into a Full Time one. 3. Learned Govt. Pleader submitted that the Government can consider the grant of relief only in accordance with the relevant rules. 4. This court is not expressing anything on the merits of the matter. There will be a direction to the first respondent to take a decision on Ext.P8 after hearing the petitioner and the manager, within four months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. The writ petition is disposed of as above. No costs. (T.R. Ramachandran Nair, Judge.) kav/
