JUDGMENT The three writ petitions concern the very same issue and they are disposed of by a common judgment. 2. In Writ Petition No.13873/2008 the petitioner is seeking for appointment in the sixth respondent's school. Writ Petition No.14236/2008 is filed by the Headmistress of the school and the rival claimant is the petitioner in Writ Petition No.14252/2008. The order Ext.P10 produced in Writ Petition No.14252/2008 was passed by the Government on the representation filed by the petitioner in Writ Petition No.13873/2008 to reinstate her in service. This is under challenge in the other two writ petitions, viz. one filed by the Headmistress and the other by the rival claimant. The petitioner in Writ Petition No.13873/2008 is seeking to implement the said order. 3. It is now pointed out by the learned counsel for the petitioner in Writ Petition No.14252/2008 that the order Ext.P10 was passed without hearing anybody and therefore the Government was approached again in the wpc 13873/08, 14236/08 & 14252/08 2 matter for a reconsideration of the same. The learned counsel for the petitioner in Writ Petition No.14252/2008 pointed out that by Ext.P11, the Government has passed a fresh interim order keeping in abeyance Ext.P10. The same shows that the Government have passed the order on a petition filed by the petitioner in Writ Petition No.14252/2008. Therefore, the parties agree that the first respondent Government may be directed to re- hear the matter with notice to all the petitioners. In the result, the writ petitions are disposed of in the following manner: The Government will conduct a rehearing of the matter with notice to all the petitioners herein and any other affected parties, within a period of four months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. Ext.P8 in Writ Petition No.14252/2008 or other revision petitions filed by the respective parties will be considered by the Government while passing final orders. Till then, the interim orders passed by this court in these writ petitions will continue. (T.R. Ramachandran Nair, Judge.) kav/
