                          W.P.(C)No.19260 OF 2007

                         ------------------------------------------

                   Dated this the 22nd day of June, 2007


                                    JUDGMENT

Petitioners are stated to be working as Higher Secondary

School Teachers (Junior) in Physics and Chemistry respectively.

Their grievance is that they are taking classes for more than 25

periods in a week in the school. Still they are forced to

continue as Higher Secondary School Teachers (Junior).

2. I do not propose to deal with the above contention at

this stage, in view of the limited prayer made by the learned

counsel for the petitioners at the Bar. It is submitted by him

that petitioners had preferred Exts.P4 and P5 representations

highlighting all the relevant aspects of the issue before

respondent no.1. The limited prayer is to issue a direction to

respondent no.1 to take an appropriate decision on those

representations. Learned Government Pleader submits that if

Exts.P4 and P5 have been preferred as contended by the

petitioners, a decision thereon will be taken without any delay.

W.P.(C)No.19260 OF 2007

:: 2 ::

3. In the above facts and circumstances, writ petition is

disposed of with a direction to respondent no.1 to consider and

pass orders on Exts.P4 and P5 strictly on their merit and in

accordance with law as expeditiously as possible, at any rate,

within four months from the date of receipt of a copy of this

judgment. Needless to mention that petitioners shall be

afforded sufficient opportunity to be heard before any decision

is taken in the matter. Petitioners shall produce a copy of the

writ petition along with a certified copy of the judgment before

respondent no.1 for compliance.

Writ petition is disposed of as above.
