It is the case of the petitioner that thereafter no final decision has been taken by the Director, Secondary Education. - 2 - That being so, this Court would direct the respondent no. 2, the Director, Secondary Education to consider the case of the petitioner and pass a final order within a period of three months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. It is made clear that this Court has not expressed any opinion on the merits of the claim of the petitioner for computation of such service rendered by him in Army and, therefore, it would be well within the jurisdiction of respondent no. 2 to take any appropriate decision in accordance with law. This application is, accordingly, disposed of. S.Sb/- (Mihir Kumar Jha, J.)
