THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR

JUDGMENT
The petitioners are the persons who are included in the
rank list prepared by the P.S.C. for the post of Pre-primary
Teachers. The grievance highlighted by the petitioners in this writ
petition is that, even though they are included in the rank list,
appointments are being denied in view of the fact that, no age of
superannuation is prescribed for Pre-primary Teachers in the aided
sector. Therefore, they are denied the opportunities as the persons
already engaged are continuing in service, even after the age of
superannuation prescribed with reference to the other Teacher posts.
The petitioners have submitted Ext.P6 representation, before the 2 nd
respondent and the limited prayer sought by the petitioners is to
direct the 2nd respondent to take a decision thereon.
After hearing the learned Counsel for the petitioners and
the learned Government Pleader I am inclined to dispose of this writ
petition. Accordingly, it is ordered that, the 2 nd respondent shall take

WP(C) NO. 39592 OF 2024
up Ext.P6 and appropriate orders thereon shall be passed in
accordance with law, within a period of four months from the date
of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
