MOHAMMED THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 25/09/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = W.P.(C) No. 28568 OF 2008 A = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = Dated this the 25th day of September 2008 J U D G M E N T Petitioner submits that by Ext. P2 order issued by the 4th respondent he was appointed as Headmaster of the school. According to him, although necessary proposal has been submitted to the 3rd respondent for approval of his appointment so far orders have not been passed. Counsel for the petitioner is also relying on Ext. P3 in this context. 2. Be that as it may, as according to the petitioner, the proposal seeking approval of his appointment is pending, I see no reason why the 3rd respondent should not be directed to pass expeditious orders on the same. 3. Therefore, the writ petition is disposed of directing that if the proposal submitted by the 4th respondent for the approval of the petitioner's appointment as Headmaster of the school is pending consideration of the 3rd respondent, the same shall be taken up, and W.P.(C) No. 28568 OF 2008 -2- orders shall be passed thereon. This shall be done as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within 4 weeks of production of a copy of this judgment along with a copy of this writ petition before the 3rd respondent, for compliance. 4. Needless to say that this Court has not expressed anything on the merits of the claim of the petitioner and it is entirely for the 3rd respondent to pass orders in accordance with law.
