J U D G M E N T The petitioner is an Upper Primary School Assistant in Sarvajana High School, Puthucode, an aided school, of which the 2nd respondent is the manager. He was promoted as High School Assistant (English) in a leave vacancy for the period from 21-5-2005 to 30-6-2007. While working so, a regular vacancy arose from 1-6- 2005. In that post, instead of adjusting the petitioner, he has been reverted as UPSA in June, 2007. Even thereafter, although three retirement vacancies of HSAs arose in the school from 1-6-2009, the petitioner has not been promoted to one of those vacancies. In the above circumstances the petitioner has filed Ext. P2 petition before the 2nd respondent. The petitioner seeks a direction to the 2nd respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext. P2 expeditiously. 2. I have heard the learned Government Pleader also. In the facts and circumstances of the case, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the 2nd respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext. P2 as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment, after affording an opportunity of being heard to the petitioner and other teachers who may be affected by any favouorable order on Ext. P2. Sd/- S. Siri Jagan, Judge. Tds/ [TRUE COPY] P.S TO JUDGE.
