THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 02/03/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S. Siri Jagan, J. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= W.P(C) No. 6672 of 2010 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Dated this, the 2nd day of March, 2010. J U D G M E N T The petitioner's appointment as a H.S.A (Arabic) in the 5th respondent's school with effect from 25-10-2004 was refused to be approved by the educational authority for want of appointment of a protected teacher under the Government Orders in force. The challenge against the refusal to approve the appointment ended in Ext. P2 order of the Government rejecting the claim of the petitioner and the manager of the school. The petitioner now submits that subsequently, a vacancy has arisen in which the manager submitted Ext. P5 expressing his willingness to appoint a protected teacher in that vacancy. In the light of the same, the petitioner filed Ext. P6 petition before the Government seeking appropriate reliefs in respect of the approval of the appointment of the petitioner in the light of the readiness of the manager to appoint a protected teacher in the vacancy which has arisen. The petitioner now seeks a direction to the 1st respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext. P6 expeditiously. 2. I have heard the learned Government Pleader also. 3. I am of opinion that since the manager has expressed his willingness to appoint a protected teacher in the vacancy which has arisen now, it is only appropriate that the 1st respondent considers Ext. P6 appropriately notwithstanding the earlier order, Ext. P2 on the subject. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the 1st respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext. P6 as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within three months from the W.P.C. No. 6672/2010 -: 2 :- date of receipt of a copy of this judgment, after affording an opportunity of being heard to the petitioner as well as the manager of the school. Sd/- S. Siri Jagan, Judge.
