JUDGMENT The petitioner is a physical education teacher working in the school managed by the first respondent. He was appointed on 26.2.2005. It appears that the post of Physical Education Teacher was abolished during the academic year 2007-2008 and therefore the petitioner was retrenched from service. It is pointed out that against the staff fixation order, Ext.P1, the Manager had filed an appeal which was rejected by Ext.P2 order. The Manager filed a revision petition before the fourth respondent and that has also been rejected as per Ext.P3 order. Challenging the same, the Manager had filed a revision petition before the Government as per Ext.P4. It is pointed out that Ext.P4 is pending without passing any order and therefore, it is prayed that a direction may be issued to the Government to take a decision on Ext.P4 within a time frame. 2. There will be a direction to the fifth respondent Government to consider and pass orders on Ext.P4 revision petition, after hearing the petitioner and the Manager, within four months from the date of receipt of a wpc 16251/2011 2 copy of this judgment. The writ petition is disposed of as above. No costs. The petitioner will produce a copy of this judgment along with a copy of the writ petition before the fifth respondent for compliance. (T.R. Ramachandran Nair, Judge.) kav/
