SIRI JAGAN, J. ------------------------------------ W.P.(C)No.1499 OF 2008 ---------------------------------------- Dated this the 14th day of January, 2008 JUDGMENT The petitioners are UPSAs in the 1st respondent's School for the year 2006-2007. There was a division fall in the Lower Primary Section of the School instead of retrenching LPSAs, the petitioners who were working in the U.P. Section have been retrenched. By Ext.P6 order, the Director of Public Instruction allegedly rejected the revision filed by the petitioners without hearing the petitioners as directed in the judgment in W.P.(c) No.25689/07. Now the petitioners have filed Exts.P7 and P7(a) revision petitions against Ext.P6 order under Rule 92 of Chapter XIVA of the K.E.R. The petitioners now seek a direction to the 6th respondent to consider and pass appropriate orders on Exts.P7 and P7(a) as expeditiously as possible. 2. I have heard the learned Government pleader also. In the facts and circumstances of the case, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the 6th respondent to consider and W.P.(c) No.1499/08 2 pass appropriate orders on Exts.P7 and P7(a) revision petitions as expeditiously, at any rate, within two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment, after affording an opportunity of being heard to the petitioners, the 1st respondent and respondents 4 and 5.
