RAMACHANDRAN NAIR, J. --------------------------------------- W.P.(C) No.7152 OF 2011 --------------------------------------- Dated this the 8th day of March, 2011. J U D G M E N T The main prayer in the writ petition is for a direction to the Government to take a decision on Exhibit P13 revision petition within a specified time. The revision petition is filed by the petitioners challenging the order passed by the Director of Public Instruction as per Exhibit P12. The matter in dispute relates to the staff fixation for the year 2009-2010 and 2010-2011 of the A.G.M.A. U.P school, Kodumbu in Palakkad District. 2. The petitioners were appointed as L.P.S.As on different dates and the respondents 6 and 7 were appointed as U.P.S.As. It is stated that the petitioners are senior in the category of L.P.S.A and in accordance with the seniority list. After the staff fixation orders were finalised, the petitioners were accommodated against the post of U.P.S.As in terms of the seniority granted to them. The same has been interferred by the Director of Public Instruction as per Exhibit P12 order. W.P.(C) No.7152/2011 2 3. The petitioners rely on a recent Government Order produced as Exhibit P11 dated 16.02.2011 to contend that the seniority alone is the criteria. 4. It is upto the Government to take a decision on Exhibit P13 after hearing all the parties. The revision petition is stated to be filed on 28.02.2011 along with a stay petition. There will be a direction to the Government to take a decision on Exhibit P13, after hearing the petitioners and respondents 5 to 7, within a period of four months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. The implementation of Exhibit P12 will be kept in abeyance till the revision petition is heard and disposed of. It is made clear that this court has not considered anything on the merit of the claims of parties. This writ petition is disposed of as above. T.R. RAMACHANDRAN NAIR JUDGE smp
