THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON
17.09.2021, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING:
WP(C) NO. 16357 OF 2021 3
JUDGMENT
The petitioners state that they are teachers appointed in the AMUP
School, Munduparamba, an aided school under the management of the 3rd
respondent. Their grievance is that their appointment has been approved only
with effect from 01.06.2011 under the Teachers Package Scheme and not from
the initial date of appointment. Narrating their grievance the petitioners are
stated to have preferred Ext.P10 revision petition before the 1st respondent.
Their solitary request is for expeditious consideration of Ext.P10 in the light of
the law laid down by this Court in Ext.P7 to P9 judgments rendered by this
Court wherein it was held that in appropriate cases, the authority can proceed
as though the Manager had executed the bond as stipulated by the Government
order dated 12.01.2010.
2. I have heard Sri.K.T.Shyam Kumar, the learned counsel appearing
for the petitioner and Sri.Bijoy Chandran, the learned Senior Government
Pleader.
3. 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) There will be a direction to the 1st respondent to take up,
consider and pass appropriate orders on Ext.P10 as per
procedure and in strict adherence to the provisions of law, after
affording an opportunity of being heard, either physically or
virtually, to the petitioners herein or their authorised
representatives as well as the 3rd respondent.
b) It is made clear that the Government shall be free to deem if
the petitioners so qualify that the manager had executed a bond
as stipulated in G.O.(P) No.10/10/G.Edn dated 12.01.2010.
c) 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.
d) It would be open to the petitioners to produce a copy of the
writ petition along with the judgment before the concerned
respondent for further action.
