THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON
14.09.2021, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING:
WP(C) NO. 16808 OF 2021 2
JUDGMENT
The petitioner states that she was appointed as UPST in the G.E.M.S
High School, Poonkodu under the management of the 5th respondent from
01.06.2010 onwards against a promotion vacancy. However, the proposal for
approval was rejected on the ground that the appointment cannot be
approved. The petitioner states that her appointment was later approved from
01.06.2011 onwards. She states that as the appointment was made against a
promotion vacancy, approval ought to have been granted from 1.6.2010
onwards. She has filed Ext.P10 representation before the 1st respondent which
is stated to be pending. It is in the afore circumstances that the petitioner is
before this Court seeking directions.
2. Sri. V.A. Muhammed, the learned counsel appearing for the
petitioner submitted that the limited request of the petitioner is for a direction
to the 1st respondent to take up Ext.P10 representation and take a decision
with due notice.
3. I have heard Smt. Nisha Bose, the learned Senior Government
Pleader. In view of the order that I propose to pass, notice to the 5th
respondent is dispensed with.
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 Ext.P10 representation there will be a direction to the 1st
respondent to take up, consider and pass appropriate orders on
Ext.P10, after affording an opportunity of being heard, either
physically or virtually, to the petitioner herein or her authorised
representative as well as 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.
