J U D G M E N T Petitioner who is stated to be working as Junior Language Teacher (Hindi) (Full Time) in Kuruva Upper Primary School is aggrieved by the inaction on the part of respondent No.3 in disposing of Ext.P5 appeal. It is submitted by the learned counsel that Ext.P5 appeal was preferred by the petitioner against Ext.P3 order passed by respondent No.4. 2. In the nature of the relief sought for, I do not deem it necessary to deal with the contentions raised by the petitioner at this stage. Suffice it to say, petitioner takes exception to the order issued by respondent No.4 holding that only a part time post is available in the school. Anyhow, this is a matter to be considered by the appellate authority. In the above facts and circumstances the writ petition is disposed of with a direction to respondent No.3 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 one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. Needless to mention that the petitioner and the Manager shall be afforded sufficient opportunity to be heard before any decision is taken in the matter. A.K. Basheer Judge. an.
