THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION
ON 03.11.2021, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE
FOLLOWING:
WPC NO.23966 OF 2021
2
JUDGMENT
Dated this the 03rd day of November, 2021
The petitioner was appointed towards a regular
substantive vacancy of UPST in the School from
19.07.2021 onwards. It seems that the proposal of
the petitioner was rejected by the third respondent on
the reason that he has not studied Malayalam as the
subject in secondary degree as well as Teachers
Training Courses. Contending that, by virtue of
Ext.P4 judgment and in the light of Exts.P6 to P8, the
above conclusion is incorrect and liable to be
corrected, the petitioner has approached the
Government by filing Ext.P9 revision. The grievance
of the petitioner is that Ext.P9 revision is still pending
consideration.
2. After hearing the learned Counsel for the
petitioner and the learned Government Pleader
appearing for respondents 1 to 3, I am inclined to WPC NO.23966 OF 2021
dispose of the Writ Petition itself, with a direction to
the first respondent to take up, consider and dispose
of on merits, Ext.P9 revision as expeditiously as
possible, at any rate, within a period of three months,
from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment, in
the light of Ext.P4 judgment and the subsequent
Government Orders, after giving a reasonable
opportunity of being heard to the petitioner and the
fourth respondent, either physically or online.
The Writ Petition is accordingly disposed of.
