THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON
17.06.2022, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING:
WP(C) NO. 19543 OF 2022 3
JUDGMENT
The petitioner states that she was appointed as a Lower Primary School Teacher in the Kudakkalam U.P.School, Eranholi with effect from 15.7.2021 in a retirement vacancy which arose on 31.5.2021. The grievance of the petitioner is that the proposal for approval of the appointment was not approved for trivial reasons. The petitioner is stated to have preferred Ext.P2 appeal before the 2nd respondent. The prayer in this writ petition is for expeditious consideration of Ext.P2 appeal.
2. I have heard Sri. K.P.Sudheer, the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner and Smt.Nisha Bose, the learned Senior Government Pleader.
3. In 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 2nd respondent to WP(C) NO. 19543 OF 2022 4 take up, consider and pass appropriate orders on Ext.P2 appeal, after affording an opportunity of being heard, either physically or virtually, to the petitioner herein or her authorized 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) 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.
