RAMACHANDRAN NAIR, J. --------------------------------------- W.P.(C) No.14428 OF 2011 --------------------------------------- Dated this the 27th day of May, 2011. J U D G M E N T The petitioner being the President of NSS Karayogam was approved as the Manager of NSS Karayogam U.P.School, Kottiyoor in Kannur District. The petitioner was approved as the Manager in the year 1977. 2. It is pointed out that an adhoc committee has been constituted in the Karayogam with 3rd respondent as its Chairman. It is also pointed out that the 3rd respondent has moved the 2nd respondent seeking approval as Manager of the school. The petitioner submits that he has already filed an application before the 2nd respondent requesting him not to approve another person as Manager till the disposal of the civil suit pending. 3. It is further pointed out that the petitioner has submitted another request dated 25.05.2011 requesting the 2nd respondent to give the petitioner a personal hearing before removing him W.P.(C) No.14428/2011 2 from the post of Manager. Since the petitioner is the approved Manager, it is only proper that he is given a hearing before any action is taken to withdraw the approval and to approve the 3rd respondent as Manager. Therefore, the 2nd respondent will give an opportunity to the petitioner to raise objections if any before any orders are passed on the request of the 3rd respondent. The petitioner will produce a copy of this judgment along with a copy of the writ petition for compliance. It is made clear that this Court has not decided anything on the merits of the matter. This writ petition is disposed of as above. T.R. RAMACHANDRAN NAIR JUDGE smp
