Exts.P1 to P5 would reveal that the appointments were duly approved by the competent authorities. Pursuant to the staff fixation order for the year 2005-06, she was retrenched from service with effect from 15-07-2005. According to the petitioner, subsequent to that, there occurred two vacancies in the School. Those vacancies have occurred in the post of U.P.S.A. The petitioner raised a claim for the appointment against one of the said vacancies, in fact, against the first vacancy based on the amendment made to Rule 51A of Chapter XIV-A of the Kerala Education Rules that dispensed with the identity of posts for the purpose of invoking claim under Rule 51A of Chapter XIV-A of the K.E.R. The petitioner has submitted Ext.P8 representation for that purpose and the same is still pending before the 3rd respondent. 2. Considering the fact that the petitioner had raised the claim for appointment based on Rule 51A of Chapter XIV-A of the WPC.17232/2010 : 2 : K.E.R. and the said matter is pending before the 3rd respondent as is obvious from Ext.P8, without making any observation as to the merits of the contentions raised by the petitioner in this writ petition, it is disposed of with a direction to the 3rd respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P8, expeditiously, at any rate, within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. Appointment, if any, made in the meanwhile shall be subject to the decision on Ext.P8. Needless to say that prior to the passing of orders on Ext.P8, the petitioner, the Manager of the school and also any teacher, who is likely to be adversely affected in case of passing a favourable order, shall be afforded an opportunity of being heard.
