J U D G M E N T The petitioner is working as High School Assistant (Malayalam) in the Government Higher Secondary School, Kunnakkavu in Malappuram District. She was originally appointed as P.D Teacher and promoted as H.S.A on 24.12.1996. 2. The petitioner contends that Primary Teachers are entitled to get promotion to the post of H.S.A (Malayalam) in 30% of the total strength of H.S.A. Exhibit P1 is the Government Order relied upon by the petitioner in that regard. It is also contended that even though Exhibit P2 order was passed promoting her, it was characterised as a temporary one. The petitioner was reverted along with other promotees as per Exhibit P3 when the vacancies were sought to be filled up from the ranked list published by the P.S.C. 3. Similarly placed teachers had approached this Court by filing O.P.No.8060/2002 challenging the order of reversion and W.P.(C) No.24488/2009 2 seeking for a direction to regularize them with effect from the dates of occurrence of vacancies. Exhibit P4 is the judgment rendered in the said original petition. The petitioner is relying upon the averments contained in the statement filed by the respondent in the said original petition. 4. The main prayer in the writ petition is for a direction to the respondent to take a decision on Exhibit P9 representation. The petitioner is also relying upon Exhibits P7 and P8 orders passed in favour of similarly placed teachers pursuant to the directions issued by this Court in the said writ petitions. There will be a direction to the respondent to take a decision on Exhibit P9, after hearing the petitioner, within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. The petitioner will produce a copy of this judgment along with copy of the writ petition for compliance. This writ petition is disposed of as above. T.R. RAMACHANDRAN NAIR JUDGE smp
