According to the petitioner, Rev.S.Albert Damodaran, who was the Manager of the school owned by the petitioner Corporate Educational Agency, requested to relieve him of all the duties as a Manager on account of his illness. The petitioner, the Educational Agency, thereupon appointed Sri.Gnana Jothy as the Manager in the place of Rev.S.Albert Damodaran.

Aggrieved by Ext.P11 order, the petitioner filed Ext.P12 revision dated 20.9.2010 before the Government. Ext.P12 is pending disposal. 3. The learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the limited relief which the petitioner seeks as of now is to direct the first respondent to dispose of Ext.P12 revision expeditiously.
