SHRI.BENOY THOMAS & PAULSON THOMAS THIS REVIEW PETITION HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 19/12/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: S.SIRI JAGAN, J. ================== R.P.No.1163 of 2008 in W.P.(C).No. 23049/2007 ================== Dated this the 19th day of December, 2008 O R D E R Learned Government Pleader seeks review of my judgment dated 26.3.2008 in the writ petition, on the ground that as per Annexure 1 the vacancies to which the petitioners were directed to be appointed, ceased to exist on account of Annexure 1 order of the Deputy Director. What is stated in Annexure 1 is that since the vacancies in question were not filled up for more than one year, as per Government Order, G.O(P) No.1208/07 dated 22.10.2001, the same are liable to be abolished. The learned Government Pleader had not been able to site any provision of the KER whereby a vacancy which remained unfilled continuously for more than a year is liable to be abolished. In this case the vacancies remained unfilled only because of a management dispute and not because the posts were not necessary for the efficient functioning of the school. In the above circumstances, I am not inclined to review my judgment dated 26.3.2008. Accordingly, the review petition is dismissed. Sd/- sdk+ S.SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE ///True copy/// P.A. to Judge
