According to the petitioner, proposal for approval of his promotion has been forwarded to the 1st respondent under whose jurisdiction, the petitioner was then working. So far the 1st respondent has not passed orders on the proposal and in the meanwhile, petitioner has been transferred to another school in Kottayam District under the same corporate educational agency. It is stated that since approval has not been granted so far, he is still getting the salary as applicable to UPSA. In these circumstances, petitioner has filed Ext.P16 before the 1st respondent praying for expeditious orders on the proposal made by the Manager for approval of his appointment as HSA. In this writ petition, what is sought for is a direction to the 1st respondent to pass orders on Ext.P16 and proposal for approval of his appointment as HSA. 2. Having regard to the facts as stated above, I see no reason to decline the prayer sought for. 3. Accordingly, the writ petition will stand disposed of directing that the 1st respondent shall take up, consider and pass orders on Ext.P16 WPC 33260/08 :2 : and the proposal, if any, for the approval of the petitioner's appointment as HSA. This shall be done, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within 4 weeks of production of a copy of this judgment along with a copy of this writ petition. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE Rp
