JUDGMENT
The petitioner is aggrieved by the inaction on the part of
the second respondent in passing orders in the matter of approval of
his appointment as H.S.A. (English) under the third respondent’s
school. According to the petitioner, as per Ext.P1 order she was
promoted as H.S.A. (English) on 15.7.2004 against a regular
vacancy. The said appointment was not approved and consequently
she was reverted as U.P.S.A. Later, as per Ext.P5, the petitioner
was again promoted as H.S.A. (English) with effect from 1.6.2009.
The said order of promotion was forwarded to the second
respondent. However, no orders have been passed thereon so far.
It is in the said circumstances that this writ petition has been filed.
2. When appointment or promotion has been effected as
per the provisions under the Kerala Education Rules, the same has to
be forwarded to the competent educational authority for approval.
Evidently, in this case, Ext.P5 order whereby the petitioner was
promoted as H.S.A. (English) with effect from 1.6.2009 has already
been forwarded to the second respondent for such approval. The
second respondent is legally bound to pass orders in the matter. In
case it has already been received, orders shall be passed in the
WP(C).No.20128/2010 2
matter of approval of appointment made as per Ext.P5 expeditiously,
at any rate, within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a
copy of this judgment.
The writ petition is disposed of accordingly.
