JUDGMENT The petitioner herein is working as L.G. Hindi Teacher under the 4th respondent Manager. The appointment has not been approved so far for the period from 6.2.2002 to 14.7.2004 in the St. Stephen's High School, Pathanapuram. The petitioner was appointed in the promotion vacancy of Sr. Sindhu George who was promoted as H.S.A. Hindi. The appointment of the said teacher was approved by the District Educational Officer as per order dated 9.12.2004. Exts.P2 and P3 are the staff fixation orders for the year 2002-2003 and 2003-2004. The Manager had filed an appeal before the Director of Public Instruction as per Ext.P4 and that was rejected by the Director of Public Instruction as per Ext.P5. It is submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioner that based on the order dated 3.8.2005 passed by the Director of Public Instruction, approval has been granted for the period from 2004-2005 onwards, but the earlier period has not been approved so far. Therefore, to that extent a revision has been filed by the Manager as per Ext.P6. The petitioner has also filed Ext.P7 revision petition before the Government in the matter, since no orders have been passed on the revision wpc 18675/2009 2 petition filed by the Manager. 2. Since, Exts.P6 and P7 are pending before the Government, there will be a direction to the first respondent to take a decision on them in accordance with law, after hearing the petitioner and the Manager, within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. The writ petition is disposed of as above. No costs. (T.R. Ramachandran Nair, Judge.) kav/
