THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION
ON 30.09.2021, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE
FOLLOWING:
WP(C) NO. 29048 OF 2020 3
JUDGMENT
The petitioner contends that he was appointed as UPSA in the
Mudavana UP School, Vadakara as per Ext.P1 order dated 01.06.2016. The
order was approved by the educational authorities. The grievance of the
petitioner is that the emoluments which were being granted to the petitioner
have been stopped on the premise that there is an audit objection by the
DDE. According to the petitioner, he is working against a sanctioned post and
according to him the number of Assistant teachers working in the school does
not exceed the staff fixation orders. It is in the afore circumstances, that this
writ petition is filed seeking the following reliefs:
(i) call for the records relating to Exhibits P-4 and P-5 and set
aside the originals of the same by the issue of a writ of certiorari or
other appropriate writ or order.
(ii) issue a writ of mandamus or other appropriate writ, order
or direction commanding the Respondents to disburse the salary due
to the Petitioner so long as Exhibit P-1 is in force.
2. Sri.M.Sajjad, the learned counsel submits that it was in the
pendency of the Writ Petition, the DGE has issued Ext.P17 order revoking the
approval of the petitioner and being aggrieved the petitioner has preferred
Ext.P18 revision petition before the 1st respondent. It is submitted that in
view of the subsequent turn of events, the petitioner limits his prayer for an
expeditious consideration of Ext.P18 by the Government.
3. I have heard Smt. Nisha Bose, the learned Senior Government
Pleader.
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) There will be a direction to the 1st respondent to take up,
consider and pass appropriate orders on Ext.P18, as per
procedure and in strict adherence to the provisions of law. An
opportunity of being heard, either physically or virtually, shall
be afforded to the petitioner or his authorised representative
and the party respondents.
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.
