They were granted re-appointment against anticipated posts in 2008 in the cadre of UPSA. The petitioner challenges the approval of the 6th respondent as UPSA on the ground that she has not studied Regional Language in School Education, which, according to the petitioner, is a must for primary school teachers. The petitioner contends that if the 6th respondent is given approval as UPSA, she would become senior to the petitioner in the cadre of UPSA. In the above circumstances, the petitioner has filed Ext.P6 representation before the 4th respondent. The petitioner seeks a direction to the 4th respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P6 expeditiously. 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 4th respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P6, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within one month 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 respondents 5 and 6.
