     THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION           ON
24.06.2022, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING:
 WP(C) NO. 20629 OF 2022                    2




                                      JUDGMENT

The petitioner states that he is working as HST (English) in the

St.Thomas Higher Secondary School, Thankamony, Idukki. His grievance

is with regard to the non-approval of the appointment of the petitioner for

the period from 2.6.2008 to 1.6.2011. Seeking approval, the petitioner is

stated to have preferred Ext.P7 revision before the 1st respondent.

Seeking expeditious consideration of the revision petition, the petitioner is

before this Court.

2. Heard Sri.Thulasi K. Raj the learned counsel appearing for the

petitioner and Smt.Nisha Bose, the learned Senior Government Pleader.

3. In the nature 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 at

the admission stage itself 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.P7 after

affording an opportunity of being heard, either physically or

virtually, to the petitioner herein or his authorised representative

and 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.

This writ petition is disposed of.
