                               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.
