JUDGMENT The petitioner is the Manager of Mansha-Ul-Uloom M.L.P. School, Kannur. Exts.P1 and P2 show the details of the roll strength and the posts sanctioned in the school for the year 2006-07 and 2007-08. The Asst. Educational Officer sanctioned two divisions in Standard I, but the English Medium Parallel division in Standard I had not been allowed and therefore the petitioner preferred an appeal before the Deputy Director of Education which was declined as per Ext.P5. Thereafter, the petitioner filed a revision petition before the Director of Public Instruction as per Ext.P6. Presently, the petitioner has filed Ext.P7 revision petition before the Government also. It is pointed out by the learned counsel for the petitioner that in the year 2008-09 the Asst. Educational Officer had sanctioned one English Medium in Standard I which is evidenced by Ext.P8 proceedings. 2. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that if Ext.P7 is disposed of by the Government within a time frame, the same will redress the grievance of the petitioner. Therefore, there will be a direction to the first respondent to take a decision on Ext.P7 after hearing the petitioner, wpc 20043/2009 2 within a period of 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/
