J U D G M E N T Petitioner claims that he was appointed as Lower Primary School Assistant in LMLPS, Chullimanoor under the management of respondent No.4, under the dying in harness Scheme. Ext.P1 is stated to be the photo stat copy of the order of appointment. It is admitted by the petitioner that he could join duty only in June 2006, though the order of appointment was issued on April 28, 2006. It is also admitted by the petitioner that a dispute was pending in the corporate management at the time of his appointment. When the proposal for approval of petitioner's appointment was forwarded to the controlling officer, it was rejected as revealed from Ext.P4 order. The appeal preferred also met with the same fate. 2. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that a revision petition had been preferred by the then Manager of the corporate agency before respondent No.1, a copy of which is on record as Ext.P6. The limited prayer is to issue an appropriate direction to the revisional authority to take a decision on the revision petition expeditiously. 3. Having regard to the entire facts and circumstances the writ petition is disposed of with a direction to respondent No.1 to consider and pass orders on Ext.P6 revision petition strictly on its merit and in accordance with law, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this WP.20426/07 2 judgment. Respondent No.1 shall ensure that apart from the petitioner and the Manager of the school, respondents 6 and 7 are also afforded sufficient opportunity of hearing before any decision is taken in the matter. While taking a decision, respondent No.1 shall keep in view the judicial precedents on the point. Petitioner shall produce a certified copy of the judgment along with a copy of the writ petition before respondent No.1 for compliance. A.K. Basheer Judge. an.
