J U D G M E N T The petitioner, who is the Manager of a school, is aggrieved by Exhibit P26 communication whereby the revision petition filed on 10.09.2009 has been rejected in a one line order. 2. The petitioner had approached this Court earlier by filing W.P.(C) No.26138/2009 which was disposed of by Exhibit P25 judgment. Therein this Court directed the 2nd respondent namely, the Government of Kerala to take a decision on Exhibits P24 and P24(a) after hearing the petitioner and the 1st respondent who is the teacher involved in the dispute and to dispose of the same within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of the judgment. The present communication namely, Exhibit P26 is dated 26.09.2009 and therefore, obviously, as contended by the learned counsel for the W.P.(C) No.31276/2009 2 1st respondent, the same was issued prior to the receipt of the copy of Exhibit P25 judgment which is dated 30.09.2009. 3. By the impugned order, the Government has rejected Exhibit P24 revision petition that too without hearing the petitioner and the 1st respondent. Therefore, Exhibit 26 will stand set aside. 4. Apart from the above revision petition, the petitioner has also filed Exhibits P21 and P21(a), an appeal along with a stay petition against Exhibit P20 order dated 06.05.2009 passed by the Director of Public Instruction. Learned counsel for the petitioner prayed that the same also may be directed to be disposed of by the Government. Therefore, this writ petition is disposed of with the following direction: Exhibit P21 along with the stay petition Exhibit P21(a) and Exhibits P24 and P24(a) will be disposed of together, after hearing the petitioner and the 1st respondent, within a period of W.P.(C) No.31276/2009 3 two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. The contentions of the respective parties are left open. T.R. RAMACHANDRAN NAIR JUDGE smp
