W.P.(C) No.31776 of 2023
----------------------------------------------------
Dated this the 19th day of October, 2023
JUDGMENT
The petitioner has preferred Ext.P6 revision against the
staff fixation which resulted in the post of Music Teacher being
abolished in the MDS, Kottayam under the management of the
5th respondent. It is submitted that the 6 th respondent is sought
to be appointed in the vacancy of a Drawing Teacher, which is
also a specialist teacher's post, which can affect the right of the
petitioner.
2. The counsel for the 5th respondent submitted that
admittedly, the post of Drawing Teacher which is a sanctioned
post had not been filled up since a couple of years. It is
submitted that the 6th respondent had been appointed to that
post even before the petitioner had been shifted to MDS,
Kottayam.
In the above circumstances, this writ petition is disposed of WP(C) NO. 31776 OF 2023
directing the 2nd respondent to consider and pass orders on
Ext.P6, after hearing the petitioner and respondents 5 and 6 at
the earliest, at any rate within two months from the date of
receipt of a copy of this judgment. Approval, if any, of the
appointment of the 6th respondent will be subject to the result of
Ext.P6 revision petition. The petitioner may be permitted to
continue as Music Teacher at her own risk pending
consideration of the revision.
