THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 06/04/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S. Siri Jagan, J. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= W.P(C) No. 11728 of 2010 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Dated this, the 6th day of April, 2010. J U D G M E N T The petitioner was appointed as an UPSA by the 5th respondent in his school on 2-6-2008 . The appointment order was forwarded for approval to the 4th respondent, which was rejected, against which Ext. P3 appeal filed by the 3rd respondent is pending. While so, the petitioner was constrained to take leave on medical grounds from 20- 11-2009 to 7-1-2010. When the petitioner reported for duty, after she recovered from her illness, the manager refused to allow her to rejoin duty. In the above circumstances, the petitioner filed Ext. P6 petition before the 2nd respondent. The 2nd respondent forwarded the same to the 4th respondent for appropriate action. The petitioner now seeks a direction to the 4th 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 the DEO being the first authority to consider the complaint of the petitioner, he shall consider Ext. P6. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the 4th respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext. P4 as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. The petitioner and the manager of the school shall be afforded an opportunity of being heard also. The petitioner shall forward a copy of the writ petition along with a certified copy of this judgment to the 4th respondent for compliance. Sd/- S. Siri Jagan, Judge. Tds/ [TRUE COPY] P.S TO JUDGE.
