J U D G M E N T Petitioner who is stated to be working as a Clerk in Sree Narayana Trust Higher Secondary School, Punalur under the management of respondent No.5 has a grievance that she is being denied salary and allowances with effect from October 1, 2005. It appears that Ext.P4 order passed by respondent No.2 declining the request made by the petitioner has been challenged by the Manager before the Government in Ext.P9 revision petition. Similarly petitioner has also preferred Ext.P18 before the Government challenging the same order. 2. The limited prayer of the petitioner is to issue an appropriate direction to respondent No.1 to consider and pass orders on Exts.P9 and 18 without any delay. 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.P9 preferred by the Manager of the school and Ext.P18 submitted by the petitioner against Ext.P4 order strictly on their 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. Respondent No.1 shall ensure that the petitioner and the Manager are afforded sufficient opportunity to be heard before any orders are passed. 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 an. Judge. 2
