JUDGMENT The petitioner is working as H.S.A. (Maths) with effect from 1.6.2010 in the school managed by the fourth respondent. It is the case of the petitioner that the second respondent declined approval of the petitioner's appointment as evident from Ext.P2 order. Mainly, the objection raised is that the Manager has not absorbed a protected teacher and has not acted in terms of the directions of the second respondent to recall the protected teachers. 2. It is the case of the petitioner that the petitioner was appointed against the promotion vacancy of Shri B. Devarajan Nair, H.S.A. (Maths). It is therefore contended that Ext.P2 order cannot be supported. Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the revision petition filed by the petitioner before the Government, Ext.P5, is pending from 18.1.2011. It is prayed that the same may be directed to be disposed of within a time frame. 3. There will be a direction to the Government to take a decision on Ext.P5 after hearing the petitioner and the Manager, within a period of wpc 8410/2011 2 three months from the date of receipt of a 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 for compliance. sd/- (T.R.
