This Petition can be disposed of by issuing directions to the respondent No.2 to decide the proposal submitted by the respondent No.3 on 9th July, 2008. By the said proposal, the respondent No.3 has informed that the petitioner has been promoted as an Assistant Head Master with effect from 1st June, 2008. However, the said intimation required an approval of the respondent No.2. We find that alongwith the said proposal : 2 : of the petitioner, another proposal of Shri Vijay Narayan Khare for grant of approval for appointment as Head Master was submitted. Surprisingly, approval has been granted by the respondent No.2 and the said proposal has been sanctioned. However, for the reasons best known to the respondent No.2, a decision in respect of the petitioner has not been taken. 2. We, therefore, direct that the respondent No.2 shall take appropriate decision in respect of the proposal of the petitioner. For that purpose, if necessary, the respondent No.2 shall visit the school and inspect the records instead of calling upon the school to submit the documents in his office. The respondent No.2 shall also hear the petitioner and dispose of the proposal within a period of three weeks. 3. With the above directions, the Petition stands disposed of. Sd/- Sd/- (R.M.
