PLEADER SRI.T.T.MAHAMOOD THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 29/03/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S.SIRI JAGAN, J. ================== W.P.(C).No. 10508 of 2010 ================== Dated this the 29th day of March, 2010 J U D G M E N T The petitioner is a High School Assistant in English in the 3rd respondent's school. The petitioner's grievance in this writ petition is that the petitioner's appointment has not been approved by the educational authorities on the ground that as required under the Government orders applicable, the manager has not appointed a protected teacher. According to the petitioner, as evidenced by Exts.P6 and P7, there is no protected H.S.A. (English) available in the district for appointment in the 3rd respondent's school and, therefore, non- approval of the petitioner's appointment on the ground that a protected teacher has not been appointed is patently unsustainable. Taking this stand, the petitioner has filed Exts.P4 and P5 appeals before the 1st respondent. The petitioner seeks a direction to the 1st respondent to consider and pass orders on Exts.P4 and P5 in the light of Exts.P6 and P7 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 1st respondent to consider and pass orders on Exts.P4 and P5, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within two months from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this w.p.c.10508/10 2 judgment, after affording an opportunity of being heard to the petitioner as well as the 3rd respondent, if the same are still pending. It would be open to the petitioner to rely on Exts.P6 and P7 during the hearing, the applicability of which shall also be considered by the 1st respondent appropriately. The petitioner shall forward a copy of the writ petition along with a certified copy of this judgment to the 1st respondent for compliance. Sd/- sdk+ S.SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE ///True copy/// P.A. to Judge
