Dated this the 24th June, 2008 J U D G M E N T In the manner in which I propose to dispose of the Writ Petition, it is not necessary to issue notice to the fourth respondent. Learned Government Pleader takes notice for respondent Nos. 1 to 3. 2. The petitioner is working as a Training School Assistant in Sree Narayana Teachers Training Institute Nileshwar, Padnakkad, Kasaragod district. As per Ext. P9 proceedings dated 14.09.2001 issued by the Manager, the petitioner was imposed with the punishment of reduction in rank in seniority permanently below the rank of one Pushpalatha. The petitioner filed an appeal before the Deputy Director of Education challenging Ext. P9 order . The Deputy Director of Education dismissed the appeal as per Ext. P10 order dated 20.03.2002. The petitioner has filed Ext. P11 statutory revision dated 02.03.2007 before the Government. Ext.P11 revision is pending disposal. 3. The only relief prayed for in the Writ Petition is for issuance of a direction to the first respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P11 revision expeditiously. There cannot be any dispute that Ext. P11 is to be disposed of by the statutory authority. 4. In the facts and circumstances of the case, it is just and necessary to issue a direction to the first respondent to dispose of Exhibit P.11 expeditiously. Therefore, the Writ Petition is disposed of in the following manner: W.P.(C) No. 18924 OF 2008 2 i) The first respondent shall dispose of Ext.
