The main prayer in the writ petition is for a direction to the second respondent to take a decision on Ext.P2 revision petition filed under Rule 12E(3) of Chapter 23 K.E.R. The initial appointment of the petitioner was on 14/07/1999 in a regular vacancy and that was approved. The petitioner was thrown out during the academic year 2010-11 as there was reduction of students' strength. In earlier years, even though the position was the same, the petitioner was retained by applying 1:40 ratio. This was granted during the year 2006-07 and 2007-08. But, in 2008-09, the petitioner was retrenched. It is the case of the petitioner that in the year 2009-10, there was additional post due to increase in students' strength. Even though the Manager insisted for higher level verification, the W.P.(C). No.7299/2011 -:2:- same was withdrawn by him. The petitioner therefore, challenges the staff fixation order 2009-10. 2. There will be a direction to the second respondent to take a decision on Ext.P2 revision petition after hearing the petitioner and the Manager within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this Judgment. The petitioner will produce a copy of the writ petition along with a copy of the Judgment before the second respondent for compliance. The writ petition is disposed of as above. No costs. Sd/- (T.R.
