RAMACHANDRAN NAIR, J. --------------------------------------- W.P.(C) No.20207 OF 2009 --------------------------------------- Dated this the 17th day of July, 2009. J U D G M E N T The petitioner was appointed as L.P.S.A in L.M L.P. School, Muhamma under the 4th respondent-Manager. The appointment was made on 13.09.2004 against the permanent vacancy of L.P.S.A which was occupied by Smt.T.S. Mini, L.P.S.A who had tendered her resignation from the post. 2. Even though proposal for approval was submitted before the Assistant Educational Officer, that was declined on the ground that there was no approved Corporate Manager for the Corporate Management of Lutheran schools. The said order is evidenced by Exhibit P1. The Manager challenged the order before the Director of Public Instruction by Exhibit P2 revision petition. So far, the revision petition has not been heard and disposed of. Therefore, the petitioner approached the Director of Public Instruction by filing Exhibit P3 representation. It is stated that the management dispute has already been settled and the 4th respondent is the approved Manager. Since no orders are W.P.(C) No.20207/2009 2 being passed in the matter, the petitioner has also moved the Government by filing Exhibit P4 representation. Since Exhibits P2 and P3 are pending before the Director of Public Instruction, there will be a direction to the said respondent to take a decision on Exhibits P2 and P3 within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment, after hearing the petitioner and the Manager. This writ petition is disposed of as above. T.R. RAMACHANDRAN NAIR JUDGE smp
