MOHAMOOD THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING BEEN FINALLY HEARD ON 11/12/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J ----------------------------------------------------------- W.P.(C).No.36297/2008 ----------------------------------------------------------- Dated this the 11th day of December, 2008 JUDGMENT First petitioner is working as UPSA and petitioners 2 and 3 are HSAs in the St. Peter's Vocational Higher Secondary School, Kolenchery. According to the petitioner, they were appointed by Exts.P1 to P3 and the Manager by Exts.P4 to P6 sought approval of appointment. However, by Exts.P8 to P10, the 2nd respondent rejected the approval. Aggrieved by these orders, Exts.P11 to P13 have been filed before the first respondent. 2. It is the case of the petitioners that Exts.P11 to P13 are revisions filed invoking the power of the first respondent under Rule 92 of Chapter XIV-A KER. On receipt of Exts.P11 to P13 these have been returned by the first respondent by Ext.P14 directing the petitioners to seek WP(c).No.36297/2008 2 appellate remedies before the Deputy Director of Education and the DPI. It is in these circumstances the writ petition is filed. 3. Petitioner submits that Exts.P11 to P12 were relevant Rule 92 of Chapter XIV-A KER although it described as filed under Rule 93 thereof. If that be so, there is no reason to return these revisions. Now that Exts.P8 to P10 are amenable to revisions, I direct that it will be open to the petitioners to resubmit Exts.P11 to P13 to the first respondent, in which case the first respondent shall treat Exts.P11 to P13 as revisions filed under rule 92 of Chapter XIV-A KER and pass orders there on with notice to the petitioner and other affected parties, if any, as expeditiously as possible and at any rate within 3 months from the date of receipt of a copy of the judgment along with Exts.P11 to P13 revisions. Writ Petition is disposed of as above. ANTONY DOMINIC vi JUDGE WP(c).No.36297/2008 3
