JUDGMENT 1.Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Senior Government Pleader. 2.The petitioner is a Manager of an aided school. It appears that following Super Check Inspection, the petitioner was issued Ext.P3 show cause notice. He submitted Ext.P4 explanation and the matter is listed for hearing before the Director of Public Instructions on 30-8-2008. In the meanwhile, the AEO has issued the impugned Ext.P6 apparently acting on the findings of the Super Check Cell. Essentially, any decision in the nature of Ext.P6 could be generated only after the DPI concludes on the issue. In the aforesaid circumstances, the operation of Ext.P6 is stayed and this writ petition is WP(C)26159/2008 -: 2 :- disposed of directing that the DPI will consider expediting the final hearing for which notice has been issued as per Ext.P5 and all further action in relation to the matter will stand governed by the decision of the DPI. The staff fixation order for the current academic year also is said to be held up resulting in non- disbursement of salaries to the staff. Hence, the DPI will ensure that necessary directions are issued in relation to that matter also, while disposing of the matter referable to Ext.P5. Let the needful be done within three weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. The petitioner will produce a copy of this judgment and obtain date of hearing from the DPI. It would also be open to the DPI to finalize release of salaries of the existing staff even before the final decision following Ext.P5. Having regard to the ensuing Onam, let such interim decision be taken by the DPI before 4th September, 2008. THOTTATHIL B. RADHAKRISHNAN, JUDGE. Sha/290808
