THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON
20.10.2021, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING:
WP(C) NO. 22335 OF 2021 3
JUDGMENT
The petitioner states that she is working as Junior Arabic Teacher in MM
AUP School with effect from 2.7.2016. Her grievance is that her initial
appointment in the newly created post up to 6.6.2019 was not approved by
the educational authorities on the ground that no new post of Arabic was
sanctioned in the school, the same being under the consideration of the
Government. It is contended that her appointment in the regular vacancy was
however approved from 6.6.2019 onwards. The petitioner states that the 5th
respondent Manager had in fact executed a bond pursuant to Ext.P4 circular.
According to the petitioner, the denial of approval from 2.7.2016, being the
date of appointment cannot be justified. Being aggrieved, the petitioner is
stated to have preferred Ext.P9 appeal before the 2nd respondent. Seeking
expeditious disposal of the appeal, the petitioner is before this Court.
2. Sri. Abdul Kareem, the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner
submitted that the limited request of the petitioner is for issuance of directions
to the 1st respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P9 appeal in the light
of Ext.P4 Circular and Ext.P5 bond within a timeframe and with due notice.
3. The learned Government Pleader submits that if the request of the
petitioner is only to consider Ext.P9 appeal on its merits, necessary directions
can be issued.
4. In view of the limited nature of the relief sought for, notice to the
party respondent is dispensed with.
5. After having carefully evaluated the contentions raised in this writ
petition, the submissions made across the Bar and the facts and
circumstances, I am of the view that this writ petition can be disposed of in
the admission stage itself by issuing the following directions:
a) There will be a direction to the 1st respondent to take up,
consider and pass appropriate orders on Ext.P9 appeal in the
light of Ext.P4 Circular and Ext.P5 bond, as per procedure
and in adherence to the provisions of law, after affording an
opportunity of being heard, either physically or virtually, to
the petitioner herein or her authorised representative and the
5th respondent.
b) Orders, as directed above, shall be passed expeditiously,
in any event, within a period of three months from the date
of production of a copy of this judgment.
c) It would be open to the petitioner to produce a copy of the
writ petition along with the judgment before the concerned
respondent for further action.
This writ petition is disposed of.
