RAMACHANDRAN NAIR, J. --------------------------------------- W.P.(C) No.22673 OF 2011 --------------------------------------- Dated this the 20th day of August, 2011. J U D G M E N T The petitioner seeks for a direction to the respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P3 which relates to the appointment of a Correspondent in the school. The petitioner, who is the Manager, is aged 84 years and he is said to be physically weak also. 2. The petitioner had earlier submitted an application before the Assistant Educational Officer to approve the Power of Attorney executed in favour of one Sri.Balagopala Poduval T.K. to perform the duties of the Manager. This aspect was considered by this Court in Ext.P2 judgment. On the basis of the submission made by the learned Government Pleader that the only possibility is to appoint a Correspondent in terms of Rule 6 of Chapter III Kerala Education Rules and that a communication has already been issued to the petitioner in that regard, this Court directed the Deputy Director of Education, Kannur to consider the said W.P.(C) No.22673/2011 2 application. Thereafter, the petitioner submitted Ext.P3 application dated 11.07.2011. It is pointed out that the school building requires extensive repairs and the petitioner who is physically weak is unable to manage the same and the said position has resulted in appointing a Correspondent. It is upto the respondent to take a decision on Ext.P3 expeditiously in the light of the urgency pointed out by the petitioner. Therefore, there will be a direction to the respondent to take a decision on Ext.P3, in the light of the judgment Ext.P2 and the directions above, within a period of three weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment and the decision will be communicated to the petitioner accordingly. The petitioner will forward a copy of this judgment along with a copy of the writ petition for compliance. This writ petition is disposed of as above. T.R. RAMACHANDRAN NAIR JUDGE smp
