The Writ Petition was disposed of with a direction that the qualified HSST (Juniors) after completion of their probation shall be appointed as HSST (Malayalam) in the vacancies which arose after the period of completion of probation. After the contempt petition was filed, the petitioners were appointed as HSST (Malayalam). The learned counsel for the petitioners submitted that they were not appointed with effect from the dates on which they were entitled to be appointed. This is a matter to be taken up in appropriate proceedings. In these circumstances, leaving open the right COC 678/2011 2 of the petitioners to challenge the order with respect to the date from which they were appointed as HSST (Malayalam), the Contempt Case is closed.
