O R D E R The respondent herein filed the writ petition seeking a direction to the State Government to consider the request made by him in Ext.P1 representation, wherein he had sought for certain amendments to the provisions contained in Chapter 32 of the Kerala Education Rules. In the light of the submission made by the learned Government Pleader the Government propose to amend Chapter 32 of the Kerala Education Rules, the writ petition was disposed of on 7.4.2009 with a direction to circulate copies of Ext.P1 to all service organisations and to afford them an opportunity to put forward their views before the amendment proposed is finalised. In this review petition it is stated that ten days prior to the date on which the writ petition was disposed of, the Government had issued a notification amending Chapter 32 of the Kerala Education Rules. It is submitted that since the Government have already amended the rules, the directions issued by this Court to take action on Ext.P1 may be recalled. The learned counsel appearing for the respondent/writ petitioner does not dispute the said submission. In the light of the R.P.No.870/2009 2 admitted fact that Chapter 32 of the Kerala Education Rules has already been amended, I am of the opinion that the direction issued to the Government to take action on Ext.P1 before the amendment proposed by the Government is finalised has to be vacated. I accordingly vacate the said direction. The writ petition shall stand disposed of with a direction to the Government to take a final decision on Ext.P1 expeditiously. The review petition is disposed of as above. Sd/- P.N.RAVINDRAN JUDGE //True Copy// PA to Judge ab
