Dated this the 28th day of May, 2009.
J U D G M E N T
The petitioner is working as Clerk in the St.George High
School, Thozhiyoor. He was appointed initially as Full Time
Menial on 01.08.1989 and thereafter he was promoted as Peon
on 01.06.1994. The petitioner was promoted as Clerk on
28.08.2008. His appointments as Full Time Menial and Peon
have been approved by the District Educational Officer at the
relevant point of time. But his promotion as Clerk was not
approved, which is evident from Exhibit P1 order.
2. Against Exhibit P1 order, the Manager has filed an
appeal, Exhibit P2, before the Deputy Director of Education (2nd
respondent). The said appeal is pending. The 4th respondent is
said to be a Rule 51B claimant. According to the petitioner, the
claim of the 4th respondent cannot be sustained and the petitioner
being a claimant under Rule 43 Chapter XIV A of K.E.R, it has
got precedence. Petitioner prays that the appeal, Exhibit P2, may
W.P.(C) No.13629/09 2
be directed to be disposed of within a time limit as otherwise, the
payment of salary and other benefits will be delayed.
There will be a direction to the 2nd respondent to hear and
dispose of Exhibit P2 appeal, with notice to the petitioner and
respondents 3 and 4, within a period of two months from the
date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
This writ petition is disposed of as above.
