SHRI A.J.VARGHESE THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 22/05/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: K. T.SANKARAN, J. ------------------------------------------------- W.P.(C) No.13839 of 2008 V ------------------------------------------------- Dated, this the 22nd day of May, 2008 JUDGMENT The petitioner is presently working as UPSA at St.John's L.P.School, Eraviperoor. The petitioner is aggrieved by Ext.P8 order dated 4.4.2008 passed by the Joint Director of Public Instructions, Thiruvananthapuram. The petitioner has filed Ext.P10 revision before the Government Challenging Ext.P8 order. Along with Ext.P10, Ext.P10(a) stay petition was also filed by the petitioner. The Manager has also challenged Ext.P8 order in Ext.P9 revision filed by him before the Government. Exts.P9 and P10 revisions are pending disposal before the first respondent. 2. On 29.4.2008, when the Writ Petition came up for admission, this Court passed the following order:- “Govt. Pleader will seek instructions from R1 regarding the status of Exts.P9 and P9(a) and as to how much time will be required for finally disposing of Ext.P9. Post on 6.5.08. In the meanwhile, operation and implementation of Ext.P8 shall be kept in abeyance.” The interim order was later extended till 22.5.2008 as per order dated 6.5.2008. In the manner in which I propose to dispose of the Writ Petition, I do not think it is necessary to issue notice to respondents 4 to 6. Since Ext.P10 revision is pending before the first respondent, it is not proper to grant the main reliefs prayed for in the Writ Petition and, at the same time, it is only proper in the facts and circumstances of the case to issue a direction to the first respondent to dispose of Ext.P10 revision at the earliest and at any rate, within a period of three months, after affording an opportunity of being heard to the petitioner as well as all the affected parties. First respondent shall consider Ext.P10(a) stay petition dated 10.4.2008 filed by the petitioner along with Ext.P10 revision expeditiously and at any rate, within a period of three weeks. The interim order granted by this Court on 22.4.2008, which was extended till date by order dated 6.5.2008 shall continue to be in force for a period of three weeks. The petitioner shall send a copy of this judgment to respondents 4 to 6 individually by registered post and produce proof of the same before the first respondent before considering Ext.P10(a) application for stay in Ext.P10 revision.
