SIRI JAGAN, J. ------------------------------------ W.P.(C)No.5395 OF 2008 ---------------------------------------- Dated this the 1st day of April, 2008 JUDGMENT The petitioner is aggrieved by refusal of the educational authority to approve her as the manager of Sree Krishna High School, Nallepilly on the ground that the petitioner has certain liabilities to a Co-operative Bank, without discharging which the petitioner's managership cannot be approved. The contention of the petitioner is that discharge of a loan liability to a Co-operative Bank cannot be a condition for approval of the managership of a School. 2. The learned Government pleader submits that it is not because merely a loan liability is pending but because on account of that loan liability, the School properties are under threat that the managership has not been approved. I am not inclined to go into the merits of the case, because the Director of Public Instruction has passed Ext.P17 order rejecting the petitioner's application, against which the petitioner has a right of W.P.(c)No.5395/08 2 appeal/revision before the Government. Therefore, if the petitioner files an appeal/revision, against Ext.P17 order, the same would be disposed of by the Government as expeditiously as possible. The writ petition is disposed of as above.
