In respect of a vacancy which has arisen in the school, the 6th respondent has preferred a claim for appointment under rule 51B of Chapter XIVA of KER. According to the petitioner, since before completion of three years after the 6th respondent attained majority, no vacancy arose in the school to accommodate the 6th respondent, her claim has become barred by limitation as per the Government Orders. Taking this contention the petitioner has filed Ext.P5 petition before the 1st respondent. Petitioner seeks a direction to the 1st respondent to consider and pass order on Ext.P5 expeditiously. 2. I have heard the Government Pleader also 3. In the facts and circumstances of the case, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the first respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P5 as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment after affording an opportunity of being heard to the petitioner as well as respondents 6 and 7. However, in the meanwhile, petitioner shall not fill up the vacancy to which the 6th respondent has made her claim. The petitioner shall forward a copy of the writ petition to the first respondent along with a certified copy of this judgment for compliance. S.SIRI JAGAN JUDGE DMB
