THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION
ON 03.09.2021, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE
FOLLOWING:
WP(C) NO. 17862 OF 2021 3
JUDGMENT
The petitioner states that she was appointed as HST in Arabic in the
C.P. Higher Secondary School, Kuttikadu, an aided school, under the
management of the 5th respondent. She contends that her appointment was
approved only from 01.06.2011 onwards. She is aggrieved by the refusal of
the respondents in approving her appointment for the period from
01.06.2009 onwards. She states that narrating her grievances, she has
preferred Ext.P7 representation, which is pending before the Government. It
is in the afore circumstances that the petitioner is before this Court seeking
the following reliefs:
"i) call for the records relating to Exhibit-P3 and set aside the original of the same by the issue of a writ of certiorari or other appropriate writ or order.
ii) declare that the petitioner is entitled to get approval to her appointment from 01.06.2009 onwards and consequential benefits.
iii) issue a writ of mandamus or other appropriate writ order or direction commanding the respondents to approve the appointment of the petitioner from 01.06.2009 as HST and disburse the attendant benefits forthwith.
iv) issue a writ of mandamus or other appropriate writ order or direction commanding the 1st respondent to consider and pass appropriate orders upon Exhibit-P7 with notice to the petitioner and within a time bound manner."
2. I have heard Sri. M Sajjad, the learned counsel appearing for the
petitioner and the learned Government Pleader.
3. Sri. Sajjad submitted that it is settled by now that in case
appointments are made against anticipated additional posts, it has to be
deemed that the managers had executed that bond. The learned counsel
submits that the petitioner is entitled to get approval from 01.06.2009
onwards and also the attendant benefits. According to the learned counsel,
the petitioner would be satisfied if the 1st respondent is directed to take up
Ext.P7 representation and take a decision taking note of the law laid down in
Exts.P4 and P5 judgments.
4. 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 by
issuing the following directions:
a) Without expressing any opinion on the merits of the
assertions made in the representation, the 1st respondent
is directed to take up, consider and pass appropriate
orders on Ext.P7 representation filed by the petitioner with
notice to the petitioner as well as the 5th respondent,
taking note of the law laid down by this Court in Exts.P4
and P5 judgments. Orders shall be passed expeditiously, in
any event, within a period of three months from the date
of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
b) While considering the representation, the Secretary to
Government shall bear in mind that the Managers would
be deemed to have executed the bond and also that they
would be obliged to make appointments from the list of
protected teachers equal to the number of appointments
approved during the ban period.
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.
The writ petition is disposed of.
