J U D G M E N T Petitioner who is stated to be the Manager of an aided Upper Primary School had challenged the order of staff fixation for the academic year 2005-2006. In Ext.P7 order the Deputy Director of Education had issued certain directions considering the objection raised by the petitioner. One such direction issued to the Asst.Educational Officer was to apply 1:40 teacher-student ratio and to re-cast the staff fixation order. Learned counsel submits that pursuant to the above direction, the A.E.O has passed Ext.P9 order by which the grievance of petitioner has been partially redressed. 2. However petitioner has preferred Ext.P10 revision petition before respondent No.2 challenging the above order of the A.E.O with the grievance that the A.E.O has not fully complied with the directions issued by respondent No.2 Learned counsel submits that the petitioner would be satisfied if a direction is issued to respondent No.2 to consider and pass orders on Ext.P10 expeditiously. Learned Govt. Pleader submits that if Ext.P10 has been preferred by the petitioner as contended, an appropriate decision thereon will be taken in accordance with law. Therefore respondent No.2 is directed to consider and pass orders on Ext.P10 strictly on its merit and in accordance with law as expeditiously as possible, at an rate within six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. Needless to mention that the WP. 19667/06 2 petitioner shall be afforded sufficient opportunity to be heard before any orders are passed on ext.P10.
