THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON
14.07.2021, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING:
WP(C) NO. 25636 OF 2014

JUDGMENT
The petitioner has approached this Court
impugning Ext.P4 Staff Fixation Order, as per
which, she had been threatened to be thrown out
from "Katameri UP School", where she was working
as an Upper Primary School Assistant (UPSA),
without giving her the benefit of Ext.P2
Government Order.
2. The petitioner says that, in fact,
benefit of the aforementioned Government order was
given to her during the academic years 2009-10 and
2010-11, she thus having been retained in the
School; but when Ext.P4 Staff Fixation order was
issued, she was shifted to the "Teacher's Bank",
without giving her the benefit of the Government
Order; and therefore, that she has been
constrained to approach this Court. She thus prays
that Ext.P4 be set aside and respondents be WP(C) NO. 25636 OF 2014
directed to retain her in the school in question
without any break.
3. I have heard Sri.R.K.Muraleedharn -
learned counsel for the petitioner and
Sri.P.M.Manoj - learned Senior Government Pleader.
4. Sri.P.M.Manoj - learned Senior Government
Pleader, submitted that the apprehension of the
petitioner, as voiced in this writ petition, may
not be relevant any more, because he has been
instructed specifically that she has been allowed
to continue in the School on the strength of
Ext.P2 Government Order.
5. In fact, Sri.R.K.Muraleedharan also
affirms that, on account of the interim order
dated 01.10.2014 issued by this Court, his client
has been continuing in the School.
In the afore circumstances, I allow this writ
petition, confirming the interim order dated
01.10.2014; thus declaring that petitioner will be WP(C) NO. 25636 OF 2014
entitled to the benefit of Ext.P2 Government Order
and will not be liable to be retrenched or thrown
out, except after following due procedure in
future.
