On account of division fall, a question has arisen as to between the petitioner and the 5th respondent who is to be deployed as excess hand. According to the petitioner the petitioner is senior to the 5th respondent and therefore it is the 5th respondent who is to be deployed and not the petitioner. However, according to the petitioner, the 5th respondent is claiming to continue in the school allegedly claiming that she is a Scout Master for whom preference has been conferred by executive orders in that regard. Petitioner opposes the 5th respondent's claim. Petitioner has filed Ext.P4 representation in this regard before the 1st respondent. Petitioner seeks a direction to the 1st respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P4 as expeditiously as possible. W.P.(C)No. 7338 of 2010 -2- I have heard the learned Government Pleader also. In the nature of the order I propose to pass, I do not think that it is necessary to issue notice to respondents 4 & 5 at this juncture. Having heard the learned Government Pleader and the counsel for the petitioner, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the 1st respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P4 as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment after affording an opportunity of being heard to the petitioner as well as respondents 4 & 5.
