     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.
