The petitioner was appointed as Lower Primary School Assistant ('LPSA' for short) by the fifth respondent Manager with effect from 05.06.2006 as per Ext.P1 order dated 24.05.2006. The Assistant Educational Officer, Tripunithura approved the said appointment only with effect from 01.06.2011. Aggrieved thereby, the petitioner has filed Ext.P4 revision petition dated 25.06.2013 before the Government. In this writ petition, the petitioner prays for a writ in the nature of mandamus commanding the State Government to dispose of Ext.P4 revision petition within a time limit to be fixed by this Court after affording her an opportunity of being heard. 2. When the writ petition came up for admission hearing today, Sri. M.A. Fayaz, learned Senior Government Pleader appearing for the State of Kerala submitted that if till today Ext.P4 revision petition has not been heard and disposed of, the Government will dispose of the same at the earliest.
W.P.(C) No. 101252014 -2-
In the light of the aforesaid submission and having regard to the fact that a revision petition lies before the Government in the matter of grant of approval of appointment of aided school teacher, I dispose of the writ petition with a direction to the State Government to dispose of Ext.P4 revision petition dated 25.06.2013, if the original thereof has been received by the Government and it is still pending, expeditiously and in any event within an outer limit of four months from the date on which the petitioner produces a copy of this judgment along with a copy of the writ petition complete in all aspects before the Secretary to Government, General Education Department. The Government shall before disposing of the revision petition, issue notice to and afford the petitioner herein, the Assistant Educational Officer concerned and the Corporate Manager an opportunity of being heard and shall after orders are passed, communicate it to all the parties.
