FOR EDUCATION The Court at the stage of admission made the following ORDER: The petitioner worked as a Secondary Grade Teacher in an aided post in C.S.I. Upper Primary School, Yetapaka, Bhadrachalam, which is under the management of Discesan Educational Committee, Dornakal. He was given promotion on 19-08- 2002 as a School Assistant in Biological Science and posted at CSI St.Andrew’s High School, Kothagudem, subject to ratification from the Competent Authority i.e., the District Educational Officer, Khammam and also the Regional Joint Director of School Education, Warangal. The petitioner filed a representation before the District Educational Officer, Khammam on 26-08-2002 bringing about the order of the District Educational Officer, dated 19-10-2001 to his notice. On 27-08-2002 he submitted another representation to the Secretary, Diocesan Educational Committee, Dornakal, for issuing necessary orders to accommodate him and his wife at the same place, keeping in view the policy of the Government to accommodate the wife and husband at the same place of working, by communicating the fact of his wife working at Yetapaka, Bhadrachelam. As the promotion orders are affected without accommodating his wife to the place where he was transferred, he requested to accommodate them in the same place. On the same day, he also sent a copy of the said representation to the Regional Joint Director of School Education, Warangal in this regard. On 02-09-2002 he made anther representation stating that there is every possibility of accommodating, his wife and himself at Khammam. He made several subsequent representations in this regard. On 19-09-2002 the Management passed an order rejecting the request of the petitioner. Therefore, he made a detailed representation on 23-10-2002 to the respondent in this regard. The grievance of the petitioner is that the respondent, so far, did not pass any orders regarding the grievances expressed by him in his representation. The petitioner, therefore, approached this Court seeking a direction to the respondent to dispose of the representation made by him on 23-10-2002. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, the respondent is directed to pass appropriate orders on the representation of the petitioner dated 23-10-2002, according to the existing Rules, within four weeks, from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. The Writ Petition is accordingly disposed of. No costs. _______________ Dr.G.Yethirajulu, J 1st October, 2004 Note: Issue CC in three days B/o. Isn To 1.
