TRUE COPY P.A.TO JUDGE dvs KURIAN JOSEPH, J. --------------------------------------- W.P. (C). NO. 33564 OF 2006 --------------------------------------- Dated this the 14th day of September, 2007. J U D G M E N T Petitioner is essentially aggrieved by Exhibit P5 order passed by the Deputy Director of Education, Palakkad in the matter of reversion from the post of Primary School Headmistress. 2. Though several contentions are taken, since the petitioner has an effective remedy by way of revision before the Government as rightly pointed out by the learned Government Pleader, it is not necessary for this Court at this stage to go into all these matters. It is submitted that the petitioner is due to retire by March 2008. In the above circumstances, this writ petition is disposed of as follows: In the event of the petitioner filing a revision before the Government within a period of one month from today, the same shall be treated to have been filed in time. Thereafter, the matter shall be disposed of by the first respondent with notice to the petitioner and any affected party, within a period of another two months. KURIAN JOSEPH, JUDGE. smp
