J U D G M E N T The only prayer made by the petitioner who is now working as High School Assistant (Hindi) in an aided school is that 'Acharya' Hindi Training Course has to be declared as equivalent to Language Teachers' Training Course and B.Ed while making selection and appointment to the post of HSST. I do not propose to deal with the contentions raised by the petitioner in view of the limited prayer made by the learned counsel for the petitioner at the Bar. He submits that the petitioner will be satisfied if an appropriate direction is issued to respondent No.1 to take a decision on Ext.P5, in which the petitioner has highlighted his grievances and other aspects of the issue. 2. Learned Government Pleader submits that if Ext.P5 has been submitted as contended by the petitioner, a decision thereon will be taken without any delay. 3. In the above facts and circumstances the writ petition is disposed of with a direction to respondent No.1 to consider and pass orders on Ext.P5 strictly on its merit and in accordance with law as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. Needless to mention that the petitioner shall be afforded sufficient opportunity to be heard before any decision is taken in the matter. Petitioner shall produce a certified copy of the judgment along with a copy of the writ petition before respondent No.1 for compliance. A.K. Basheer Judge. an.
