PLEADER SRI.T.T.MAHAMOOD THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 05/04/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S.SIRI JAGAN, J. ================== W.P.(C).No. 11600 of 2010 ================== Dated this the 5th day of April, 2010 J U D G M E N T The petitioner, while working as an H.S.A. in an aided school, was promoted as headmistress of the school owned by the 4th respondent. That promotion has not been approved on the ground that a protected teacher has not been appointed in the school. According to the petitioner, for giving promotion to an existing High School Assistant as Headmistress, there is no condition that a protected teacher should have been appointed. Pointing out this illegality, the petitioner has filed Ext.P5 revision petition before the 3rd respondent. 2. I have heard the learned Government Pleader also. 3. In the facts and circumstances of the case, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the 3rd respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P5, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within three months from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this judgment, after affording an opportunity of being heard to the petitioner as well as the 4th respondent. The petitioner shall forward a copy of the writ petition along with a certified copy of this judgment to the 3rd respondent for compliance.
