When certain posts in the School under the Corporate Management, in Kollam were abolished, petitioner was transferred to the S.N.Trust Higher Secondary School at Thottada, by order dated 31.7.2007, stated to have been issued by the Management. According to the petitioner, she was posted against a vacancy which arose out of the resignation of one Smt.Leena. Petitioner refers to Ext.P2 relieving order which refers to this fact. She also refers to Ext.P4 order sanctioning two additional Divisions in the S.N.Trust Higher Secondary School at Thottada and consequent post of one HSA (NS). According to the petitioner, she has been posted against the said post and is continuing there. But her W.P.(C).25746/09 2 appointment has not been approved so far in spite of request.
