The petitioner is the Manager of an aided school,
namely, St.John’s Vocational Higher Secondary School,
Ummannoor, Kottarakkara. He is conducting the Vocational
Higher Secondary School in the school campus. The
establishment of the High School for the year 2008-09 was
fixed by the District Educational Officer as per Ext.P1,
after physical verification. No new divisions were
sanctioned. The Super Check Cell conducted a visit on
20/09/2008 and found that the staff strength fixed by the
District Educational Officer was not correct. They
conducted a further verification also, after verifying the
explanation submitted by the Headmaster. Ext.P2 is the
showcause notice, which was replied duly by Exts.P3 and P4.
Finally, by Ext.P5, the Director of Public Instruction
ordered abolition of one post of U.P.S.A, one post of H.S.A
(Core subject), one post of H.S.A (Malayalam) and one post
of L.G.(Hindi). Apart from the same, the post of sewing
teacher has also been abolished. Aggrieved by the same,
the petitioner has filed revision petition before the
Government as per Ext.P6. It is submitted that expeditious
steps may be taken to dispose of the revision petition, as
the delay therein will affect the rights of the parties.
