JUDGMENT The petitioner is presently working as H.S.A. in Valanchery Higher Secondary School which is run by the fifth respondent. He was appointed as per order dated 13.6.2005 in a leave vacancy caused by leave without allowance availed by one Smt. A.V. Bindu, for the period from 1.4.2005 to 31.3.2010. In the extended leave vacancy from 1.4.2010 to 31.3.2015, the Manager appointed the petitioner as H.S.A. as per order dated 1.4.2010, a copy of which is produced as Ext.P2. The approval of appointment was rejected by the fourth respondent as per Ext.P3, on the ground that the period of leave without allowance sought for by the aforesaid Bindu for the period from 1.4.2010 to 31.3.2015 was not granted by respondent No.1. The appeal filed against Ext.P3 order, was also rejected confirming the said order. 2. Now the first respondent has passed an order Ext.P5, whereby the leave has been sanctioned in favour of Smt.A.V. Bindu, for the period from 1.4.2010 to 31.3.2015. In these circumstances, the petitioner has filed Ext.P6 revision petition before the Director of Public Instruction, the wpc 420/2011 2 second respondent herein. 3. There will be a direction to the second respondent to take a decision on Ext.P6 after hearing the petitioner and the fifth respondent Manager, within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
