The petitioner has come up with the present Writ Petition for a mandamus directing the the respondents to consider the petitioner's representation dated 23.03.2011 for approval of her appointment and grant her salary. 4. The case of the petitioner is that she is working as Assistant Teacher in the TDTA Middle School, Nelameignanapuram, https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/ 2 Tirunelveli District, which is a minority school. She was appointed by the Correspondent on 17.03.2010 in a sanctioned post, wherein originally a Teacher by name Gladis was working. Since she died, another Teacher, by name, D.Shanthi Athisaya Rethnabai, was appointed. The said Teacher got appointment in the Government School and hence she resigned her post and in her place, the petitioner was appointed in the year 2010 and she is continuously working. However, the competent authority has not approved her appointment and grant salary. Therefore, she sent representation to the respondents, but however, the same was not considered so far. In view of the above stated position, the petitioner has approached this Court by filing the present Writ Petition for the relief stated earlier. 5. Considering the limited scope of the matter, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the matter, I direct the first respondent to consider the representation of the petitioner on merits and in accordance with law within a period of eight weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. The Writ Petition is ordered accordingly. No costs.
