JUDGMENT In this case, the petitioner is working as a Urdu Teacher in an aided U.P. School. The appointment of the petitioner has been approved as per Ext.P1 order. It is the case of the petitioner that actually the appointment is as a full time one, but the approval has been granted only as a part time teacher with effect from 3.12.2007. The petitioner is banking upon Ext.P2, a request forwarded by the Manager seeking approval of appointment as a full time teacher on the basis of diversion of periods from Group C subjects. 2. The Manager thereafter filed an appeal as per Ext.P3, but in the appeal also, no favourable orders were obtained by the petitioner. Ext.P4 is the order passed by the Appellate Authority. 3. Even though a revision petition was filed before the Director of Public Instruction, that was also rejected. Presently, the Manager has taken up the matter in revision before the Government as per Ext.P6. 4. The petitioner is relying upon Ext.7 Govt. Order and also Ext.P8 judgment in W.A.No.333/2008 in support of the contention that a diversion of periods from Group C subjects is permissible. It is upto the revisional wpc 37460/2009 2 authority to take a decision in the matter in accordance with law. 5. There will be a direction to the first respondent to take a decision on Ext.P6 after hearing the petitioner and the Manager, within a period of four months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. The petitioner shall produce a copy of the writ petition along with a copy of the judgment before the first respondent for compliance. The writ petition is disposed of as above. No costs. (T.R. Ramachandran Nair, Judge.) kav/
