Subsequently in a leave vacancy of HSA she was posted. While so, petitioner submits that with effect from 11.9.2006 an additional division vacancy arose and by Ext.P3 she was shifted to that vacancy. However, approval sought for was declined by the DEO as per Ext.P5. The appeal filed was rejected by the Deputy Director. Similar order of rejection was passed by the Deputy Director as well. Petitioner submits that aggrieved by the orders declining approval of her appointment Manager has filed Ext.P11 revision and that the same is pending consideration before the first respondent. 2. In this writ petition complaint is two fold. One is regarding the delay in disposal of the revision petition and the other is regarding non-payment of pay and allowances. Now that the W.P.(C) No. 28290 OF 2008 -2- statutory revision filed by the Manager as evidenced by Ext.P11 is pending consideration of the first respondent, it is only appropriate that the first respondent disposes of the revision with notice to the Manager as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within three months on production of a copy of this judgment. In the meantime it is also directed that the petitioner shall be paid salary as applicable to UPSA which is already approved by the department. Petitioner shall produce a copy of the judgment before respondents 2 and 4 for compliance. ANTONY DOMINIC JUDGE jj
