                   W.P.(C)No.24083 OF 2007
                -----------------------------------------------
             Dated this the 7th day of August, 2007

                             JUDGMENT

Petitioner is stated to be working as Higher Secondary

School Teacher (Junior) in History in Bishop Hodges Higher

Secondary School, Mavelikkara under the management of

respondent no.2. Her grievance is that she is not being

promoted as Higher Secondary School Teacher, though she is

qualified and eligible for promotion. Petitioner has raised

various contentions in support of her plea for a direction to

respondent no.2 to promote her as Higher Secondary School

Teacher (History).

2. But, I do not propose to deal with any of those

contentions at this stage, in view of the limited prayer made

by the learned counsel for the petitioner at the Bar. He

submits that the petitioner has preferred Ext.P5

representation before respondent no.2 highlighting all the

relevant aspects of the issue. The limited prayer is to issue a

direction to respondent no.2 to take a decision on Ext.P5

expeditiously.

W.P.(C)No.24083 OF 2007
:: 2 ::

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

disposed of with a direction to respondent No.2 to consider

and pass orders on Ext.P5 strictly on its merit and in

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

within two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this

judgment. Respondent no.2 shall ensure that petitioner and

all others who are likely to be affected by any order that may

be passed by him are afforded sufficient opportunity to be

heard before any decision is taken in the matter. Petitioner

shall produce a copy of the writ petition along with a certified

copy of the judgment before respondent no.2 for compliance.

Writ petition is disposed of as above.
