RESPONDENT'S EXHIBITS: N I L /TRUE COPY/ P.S.TO JUDGE Kss P.N.RAVINDRAN, J. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= W.P.(C) No. 26556 of 2008 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Dated this the 23rd day of June, 2009 JUDGMENT The petitioner, a rule 51A claimant, was reappointed as Upper Primary School Assistant by Ext.P1 order dated 2-6-2008 issued by the fourth respondent. The grievance voiced by the petitioner in this writ petition is that till date the District Educational Officer, Alappuzha has not approved her appointment as per Ext.P1. 2. This writ petition was presented on 2-9-2008. Thereafter, by Ext.P5 order dated 31-1-2009 the Government directed the Director of Public Instructions to approve the appointments of various rule 51A claimants including the petitioner. Ext.P5 specifically refers to the petitioner's re-appointment as U.P.S.A. with effect from 2-6-2008. In my opinion, in view of Ext.P5 Government order dated 31-1-2009, the District Educational Officer, Alappuzha will necessarily have to issue orders approving the petitioner's appointment. I accordingly dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the District Educational Officer, Alappuzha to approve the petitioner's appointment as per Ext.P1 order dated 2-6-2008 in implementation of the direction issued by the Government in Ext.P5 order dated 31-1-2009. Orders in that regard shall be passed within one month from the date on W.P.(C) No. 26556/08 2 which the petitioner produces a certified copy of this judgment before the District Educational Officer. The respondents shall also take expeditious steps to disburse arrears of salary to the petitioner at the applicable rate. P.N.RAVINDRAN, JUDGE. mn.
