J U D G M E N T Petitioner is a Post Graduate in Information Science and Management. According to the petitioner she is eligible to be appointed as a teacher to take classes at Plus Two level. The above issue was considered by the Government on a representation submitted by the petitioner. Ext.P8 is stated to be the order passed by the Government upholding the claim made by the petitioner. However the Government took the view that the Post Graduate qualification obtained by the petitioner would not be good enough to enable the petitioner to take classes for students in vocational higher secondary schools. Petitioner takes exception to the above view taken by the Government in Ext.P8. Learned counsel submits that petitioner has highlighted the relevant aspects of the issue in Ext.P9 representation submitted by him. The limited prayer is to issue a direction to the Government to take a decision on Ext.P9 expeditiously. 2. In the above facts and circumstances the writ petition is disposed of with a direction to respondent No.1 to consider and pass orders on Ext.P9 strictly on its merit and in accordance with law, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within 4 months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. Needless to mention that the petitioner shall be afforded sufficient opportunity to be heard before any decision is taken in the matter. Petitioner shall produce a certified copy of the judgment along with a copy of the writ petition before respondent No.1 for compliance. A.K. Basheer Judge. an.
