          ADV NISHA BOSE - GP
     THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON
04.04.2024, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING:
 WP(C) NO. 13904 OF 2024
                                2

                           JUDGMENT

The petitioner, the Manager of a School, initially appointed

the 5th respondent as LPST on 15.07.2021. However, the said

appointment was not approved for want of KTET. Subsequently,

the 5th respondent acquired the qualification on 20.10.2021. But,

even for the period after he acquired necessary qualification the

approval was not granted. Exts.P3, P4, P5 and P8 are the orders

passed by the authorities concerned rejecting the said approval.

Being aggrieved by the same, the petitioner submitted Ext.P9

revision petition, which is now pending before the 1 st respondent.

The limited prayer sought by the petitioner is for expeditious

disposal of Ext.P9, within a time frame.

After hearing the learned counsel for the petitioner and the

learned Government Pleader I am inclined to dispose of this writ

petition. Accordingly, it is ordered that, the 1st respondent shall

take up Ext.P9 and appropriate orders thereon shall be passed in

accordance with law after affording the petitioner and the 5th WP(C) NO. 13904 OF 2024

respondent, a reasonable opportunity of being heard. The orders

shall be passed within a period of four months from the date of

receipt of a copy of this judgment.
