According to the petitioner, in its institution certain posts of the teachers fell vacant, therefore, the petitioner sought for permission of the authorities permitting it to fill up the vacancies in accordance with rules. Thereafter, the petitioner selected three candidates for three posts of one Secondary Grade Teacher, one Telugu Pandit Grade-II and one Physical Education Teacher. The said selection is in accordance with rules framed in G.O.Ms.No.1 dated 01-01- 1994. It is stated that the candidates who were selected have also joined the service of the petitioner on the premise that the competent authority would approve the appointments. But, as no orders are passed by the third respondent approving the appointments even though the proposals were sent as early as in the year 2003, the petitioner has come up with the present writ petition. 3. On the earlier occasion, when the matter came up, the learned Government Pleader for respondents directed to get instructions, and accordingly, posted this matter today. Today, when the matter is called, the learned Government Pleader represented that he did not receive the instructions from the respondent authorities. Therefore, the matter is heard and disposed of on merits. 4. Admittedly, the petitioner sought for permission to fill up three posts referred to earlier as per the rules. It is stated that the selection committee was constituted and selected three candidates for the three posts and the proceedings were sent for approval of the respondent authorities. As the petitioner completed the selection, after obtaining the necessary permission from the competent authorities and the selection was also completed long before the ban imposed by the Government by memo dated 20-10-2004, it is appropriate for the competent authorities to pass appropriate orders on the approvals sought for by the petitioner with reference to the three posts for which candidates were selected. 5. Under the above circumstances, the writ petition is disposed of directing the third respondent to pass appropriate orders on the proposals sent by the petitioner for approval of the appointments of three posts viz., one Secondary Grade Teacher, one Telugu Pandit Grade-II and one Physical Education Teacher, expeditiously, preferably, within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. 6. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. __________________ S.ANANDA REDDY, J 26th July, 2005 SKM
