THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 05/03/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S. Siri Jagan, J. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= W.P(C) No. 7146 of 2010 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Dated this, the 5th day of March, 2010. J U D G M E N T The petitioner was appointed as a full time menial in the 5th respondent's school for the period from 18-6-2005 to 10-4-2006 in a leave vacancy. Approval of that appointment was rejected on the ground that duration of the appointment is less than one academic year in terms of Ext. P3 Government Order. According to the petitioner, that Government Order is not applicable to the petitioner since the petitioner is appointed in a non-vacation post. The petitioner filed a revision before the D.P.I which was rejected by Ext. P7. Against the same, the petitioner filed Ext. P8 further revision before the 1st respondent. The petitioner seeks a direction to the 1st respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext. P8 expeditiously. In the facts and circumstances of the case, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the 1st respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext. P8 as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. The petitioner shall forward a copy of the writ petition along with a certified copy of this judgment to the 1st respondent for compliance. Sd/- S. Siri Jagan, Judge. Tds/ [TRUE COPY] P.S TO JUDGE.
