From the said list prepared by the Kerala Public Service Commission, the petitioner was appointed as Peon in Manjapra Panchayat U.P.School on 27.11.2001. Subsequently, he was transferred to Panchayat High School, Kanjiramkulam. In the said school, a vacancy of Clerk arose on 11.12.2009. Since the petitioner possesses the qualifications for appointment as a Clerk, he has submitted a representation before the Manager and the same was acted upon. Accordingly, he was promoted as Clerk in the said vacancy as per Ext.P7. However, the second respondent rejected the proposal as per Ext.P8 on the ground that the said post could be filled up only through the Kerala Public Service Commission. Feeling aggrieved by Ext.P8 order, the petitioner has moved the first respondent by filing Ext.P9 revision petition. Since the petitioner has already availed the statutory remedy, this writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the first respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P9 revision petition dated 21.1.2010 expeditiously, at any rate, within a period of two WP(C).No.23843/2010 2 months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment, with notice to the petitioner and the third respondent.
