At the request of both the Counsel this writ petition is taken up for hearing and the same is being disposed of at the admission stage. Petitioner, who claims to be the successor of one Elementary School at Nikarampalli established by his grand-father, filed O.S.No.420 of 2002 on the file of the Junior Civil Judge, Markapur, claiming Correspondent-ship and the same is pending. In view of the pendency of the suit, the second respondent was appointed as Special Officer. Since the said Elementary School had two aided teacher posts, one teacher retired on 30-06-2002 and another teacher is going to retire on 30-06-2005 and as the single teacher cannot handle the School, petitioner made a representation dated 17-06-2004 to the first respondent-District Educational Officer, to fill up the vacant post. The grievance of the petitioner is that the respondents are not taking any steps on the said representation. Hence the writ petition. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, the first respondent shall consider the representation dated 17-06-2004 made by the petitioner and pass appropriate orders within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order after due intimation to the petitioner. The Writ Petition is accordingly disposed of.
