FOLLOWING:
WP(C) NO. 19235 OF 2022

JUDGMENT
The petitioner states that she commenced her regular service in the cadre of L.P.S.T in the 5th respondent school with effect from 03.06.1996 onwards. She contends that consequent to an inspection conducted by the Super Check Cell, orders have been passed by the 2nd respondent reducing one division and consequently one post of L.P.S.A. Petitioner contends that being aggrieved by Exhibits P1 and P2, she has preferred Exhibit P3 Revision Petition before the 1st respondent, which is stated to be pending. The solitary prayer in this Revision Petition is for expeditious consideration of the Revision Petition with due notice.
2. I have heard Sri.M.Sajjad, the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader.
3. In view of the nature of the order that I propose to pass notice to the 5th respondent is dispensed with.
4. After having carefully evaluated the contentions raised in this writ petition, the submissions made across the Bar and the facts and circumstances, I am of the view that this writ petition can be disposed of at the admission stage itself by issuing the following directions:
a) There will be a direction to the 1st respondent to take up, consider and pass appropriate orders on Ext.P3 Revision WP(C) NO. 19235 OF 2022 3 Petition, after affording an opportunity of being heard, either physically or virtually, to the petitioner herein or her authorised representative and the 5th respondent.
b) Orders, as directed above, shall be passed expeditiously, in any event, within a period of three months from the date of production of a copy of this judgment.
c) If the petitioner files an application for stay of Exhibit P1 and P2 within a period of 10 days from today, the same shall be considered and orders shall be passed within a period of two weeks from the date of filing the said application. Till orders are passed in the stay petition, proceedings pursuant to Exhibit P1 and P2 shall be kept in abeyance.
d) It would be open to the petitioner to produce a copy of the writ petition along with the judgment before the concerned respondent for further action.
This writ petition is disposed of.
