THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 17/10/2007, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S. SIRI JAGAN, J. ------------------------------------ W.P.(C)No. 30836 OF 2007 ------------------------------------- Dated this the 17th day of October, 2007 JUDGMENT The first petitioner is a 'Sabha' conducting aided school. There is a dispute between the 2nd petitioner, who claims to be the Manager of the School and the 1st respondent, who is another rival for Managership of the School. The 2nd respondent approved the 1st respondent as the Manager of the School against which the petitioner has filed Ext.P4 appeal along with Ext.P5 stay petition on 10.9.2007. On 3.10.2007, the petitioner filed another stay petition, Ext.P6 also. The petitioners' grievance is that no orders are being passed on Exts.P5 and P6 stay petitions, inspite of the fact that the petitioners have filed Ext.P4 appeal pursuant to directions in W.P.(c)No.20136/07 by this Court. The petitioner seeks a direction to the 3rd respondent to pass appropriate orders on Exts.P5 and P6 stay petitions expeditiously. 2. In the nature of the order I propose to pass, I do not think that it necessary to issue notice to the 1st respondent at this juncture. W.P.(c)No.30836/07 2 3. Having heard the learned Government pleader also, I direct the 3rd respondent to consider and pass appropriate orders on Exts.P5 and P6 stay petitions as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. Status quo as on today shall be maintained till orders are thus passed. Before passing orders, the 3rd respondent shall afford an opportunity of being heard to the petitioner as well as the 1st respondent. The writ petition is disposed of as above. S. SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE Acd W.P.(c)No.30836/07 3
