       THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION
ON    22.05.2024,   THE   COURT    ON   THE   SAME   DAY   DELIVERED   THE
FOLLOWING:
 W.P.C No. 18329 of 2024

                                  2

                              JUDGMENT

The petitioner, who was appointed as LPST in Melur LP School with effect from 15.07.2021, was denied the approval by the authorities concerned on the reason that she lacked K.Tet qualification and also that school was un-economical. The statutory remedies availed by him did not yield any positive results for the petitioner.

2. However, subsequently the petitioner became qualified as he obtained K.Tet qualification and the school in which the appointment was made, also became economical. In the light of subsequent developments, the appointment of the petitioner is to be approved, contends the learned counsel for the petitioner. It was also pointed out that highlighting the said aspects, the petitioner submitted Ext.P6 revision petition, which is now pending before the 1st respondent. The limited prayer sought by the petitioner is to direct the 1st respondent to take a decision thereon within a time frame.

After hearing the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader, I am inclined to dispose of this Writ Petition. Accordingly it is ordered that the 1 st respondent shall W.P.C No. 18329 of 2024 3 take up Ext.P6, and appropriate orders shall be passed thereon after hearing the petitioner and the 5th respondent, Manager. While taking a decision, documents relied on by the petitioner to substantiate his qualification are also to be taken into account. The orders in this regard shall be passed within a period of four months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
