The said post was admitted to grant-in-aid as per G.O.Ms.No.398, dated 31.10.1994 of the Government, with effect from 01.04.1994. There after, the Special Officer issued proceedings in Rc.No.BVN/283/97, dated 14.03.1996 and promoted the petitioner as School Assistant (Mathematics) in the same school, which was approved by the Regional Joint Director of School Education, Hyderabad, through proceedings in R.C.No.3613/B2/96, dated 11.03.1997. But in the proceedings the post of the petitioner was approved with effect from 11.3.1997 instead of 01.04.1994. As the respondents are not approving the post of the petitioner to grant-in-aid with effect from 01.04.1994 and are trying to absorb other teachers working in Bharathiya Vidyaniketan High School into the Grant-in-aid posts sanctioned by the Government as per G.O.Ms.No.398, dated 31.10.1994 with effect from 01.04.1994, the petitioner filed an appeal before the Director of School Education, Andhra Pradesh, Hyderabad, for approving the post of the petitioner to grant-in-aid from 01.04.1994. Against the orders of the Director of School Education, dated 11.04.2000, the petitioner filed a representation dated 17.03.2003 before the 2nd respondent- Secretary, Government of A.p., School Education, seeking to approve the post of the petitioner to grant-in-aid with effect from 1.4.1994, but not from 11.03.1997. Pending further orders in the representation, this writ petition is filed. As the representation dated 17.03.2003 is still pending before the 2nd respondent, I think that it just and proper to direct the 2nd respondent to consider and dispose of the said representation of the petitioner, dated 17.03.2003 and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of as indicated above.
