DILIP MOHAN THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 11/08/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: Kss C.T. RAVIKUMAR, J. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - W.P. (C) No. 25010 OF 2010 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dated this the 11th day of August, 2010 J U D G M E N T The petitioner was appointed as a full time Sanskrit teacher in the 6th respondent school as per Ext.P2 with effect from 19.6.2009. However, the 5th respondent approved the said appointment of the petitioner only as a part-time Sanskrit Teacher for the reason that only a part-time Sanskrit course was sanctioned as per the staff fixation for the academic year 2009-2010. Admittedly, prior to staff fixation for the academic year 2009-2010 a full-time post of Sanskrit Teacher was sanctioned to the said school as early as on 1.9.1972. In fact, the full time post was thus created by Group 'C' diversion, it is submitted. In the said circumstances, the contention of the petitioner is that in the light of Ext.P6 Government Order dated 13.11.2000 a full-time post of Sanskrit teacher could not have been converted into a part- time post. In short, based on the said Government Order it is contended that the 6th respondent should have approved the appointment of the petitioner as full-time Sanskrit teacher. WPC.No. 25010/2010 : 2 : Raising such contentions, the Manager preferred an appeal before the 3rd respondent. The said appeal was rejected by the 3rd respondent as per Ext.P4. Thereupon, the petitioner has approached the first respondent through Ext.P8 revision petition. In Ext.P8, the petitioner has raised all such legal contentions based on Ext.P6 Government Order dated 13.11.2000. It is a revision petition filed under Rule 92 of Chapter XIV A of Kerala Education Rules and therefore, the first respondent is bound to consider and pass orders thereon. Accordingly, this writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the first respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P8 revision petition, expeditiously, at any rate, within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment with notice to the petition and the 6th respondent.
