THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR

JUDGMENT
Dated this the 03rd day of November, 2021
The petitioner has been discharging functions of
H.S.S.T. senior in the 5th respondent Higher
Secondary School, during the academic year 2013-
14, against a duly sanctioned post. Petitioner,
aggrieved by the short approval of her appointment
as H.S.S.T. senior, only from 07.12.2015 and
claiming that she should be granted approval from
2013 onwards, Ext.P7 representation has been
preferred, which is pending before the third
respondent. The grievance of the petitioner is that
though the representation was filed in January 2021,
it is still pending consideration.
2. After having heard the learned Counsel for
the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader
appearing for respondents 1 to 3, I am inclined to
dispose of the Writ Petition itself by directing the first
respondent to take up, consider and dispose of Ext.P7 WPC NO.23982 OF 2021
representation, as expeditiously as possible, at any
rate, within a period of three months from the date of
receipt of a copy of this judgment, after giving a
reasonable opportunity of being heard to the
petitioner and also respondents 4 and 5, either
physically or online.
The Writ Petition is disposed of accordingly.
