JUDGMENT
Dated this the 30th day of June 2020 The petitioner is the Manager of a School. He is aggrieved by the non approval of appointment of a Primary School teacher, who was appointed after setting apart one post to the Government, pursuant to the amendment made to the KER.
2. According to the petitioner, vide Exhibit
P6-order another Primary School teacher was appointed from 06-06-2019. But, the 3rd respondent by Exhibit P7 has declined approval of appointment of the petitioner on the specious plea that a protected teacher could not join the Petitioner's School. Hence the petitioner has preferred Exhibit P8 on 09-06-2020 before the 1st respondent. The petitioner seeks for an expeditious consideration of Exhibit P8.
3. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Senior Government Pleader for the respondents.
4. The learned counsel for the petitioner
reiterated the contentions pleaded in the writ petition. He prayed that the 1st respondent may be directed to consider and dispose of Exhibit P8 within a time frame. The learned Senior Government Pleader did not object to the prayer for an expeditious consideration of Exhibit P8.
5. Considering the averments pleaded in the
wit petition and after hearing the learned counsel for both sides and also taking into consideration the fact that Exhibit P8 is pending before the 1st respondent, without going into the merits of the dispute, I deem it appropriate to direct the 1 st respondent to consider and dispose of Exhibit P8, in accordance with law, within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. The 1st respondent shall afford the petitioner or a representative of the petitioner an opportunity of being heard before passing orders on Exhibit P8. The petitioner is at liberty to produce a copy of this judgment along
with a copy of the memorandum of writ petition before the 1st respondent. This writ petition is ordered accordingly.
