THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON
20.12.2022, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING:
WPC 41533/22

JUDGMENT
The petitioner impugns Ext.P10 order, through which, her lien
has been rearranged and recovery ordered; but concedes that she has
already preferred Ext.P13 Statutory Revision - under the provisions of
Chapter XIV A Rule 92 of the Kerala Education Rules, 1959 - before
the Government. She thus alternatively prays that same be directed to
be taken up and disposed of, within a time frame to be fixed by this
Court.
2. In response, Smt.Nisha Bose - learned Senior Government
Pleader appearing on behalf of the official respondents, submitted
that if the petitioner only requires Ext.P13 Revision to be taken up
and disposed of in terms of law, there does not appear to be any
legal impediment in doing so; but prayed that this Court may not
make any affirmative declarations on the entitlement of the petitioner
to any relief and leave it to the competent Authority to take a final
decision as per law.
Resultantly, I order this Writ Petition and direct the competent WPC 41533/22
Authority of the 1st respondent to take up Ext.P13 Revision of the
petitioner and dispose it of, after affording her, as also the 5 th
respondent, an opportunity of being heard; thus culminating in an
appropriate order and necessary action thereon as expeditiously as is
possible, but not later than four months from the date of receipt of a
copy of this judgment.
Until such time as the afore exercise is completed and resultant
order communicated to the petitioner, all action to recover amounts
from her pursuant to Ext.P10 will stand deferred.
