Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for the respondents, apart from perusing the record. Since the issue lies in a narrow compass, this Court proposes to dispose of the writ petition at the admission stage itself. 2. Briefly stated, the petitioner, the Manager of Crescent High School, Vanimal, Kodiyura, Kozhikode District, appointed Smt. Salmath Moolakkappil as HSA (English) on 01.06.2011, in the leave vacancy that arose on 01.01.2010. When approval of the said appointment was sought, it was rejected by the fourth respondent. As a result of an appeal filed against the said rejection, the third respondent approved it only from 04.06.2012. Further aggrieved, the petitioner filed Exhibit P5 statutory revision W.P.(c) No. 30456 of 2014 2 before the first respondent. Complaining of its non- disposal, the petitioner filed the present writ petition.
3. In the facts and circumstances, having regard to the respective submissions of the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for the respondents, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the matter, this Court disposes of the present writ petition with a direction to the first respondent to consider Exhibit P5 statutory revision of the petitioner in accordance with law, after affording an opportunity of hearing to the petitioner, and pass appropriate orders thereon as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within a period of four months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
With the above observation, this writ petition is disposed of.
