C.S.Dias, J

1.

This writ petition is filed to direct the 2nd respondent to consider Ext.P5 within a time frame.

2.

The petitioner has averred in the writ petition that she is working as a Higher Secondary School Teacher in a school managed by the 4th

respondent. Ext.P1 is the appointment of the petitioner as HSST Malayalam. The 4th respondent had on 10.6.2019 submitted an application to the 3rd

respondent for the approval of the petitioner's appointment. Nevertheless, the 3rd respondent prolonged the matter for more than two years on flimsy

grounds. Finally, the 3rd respondent rejected the proposal by Ext.P2. The 4th respondent again resubmitted the proposal, which was again rejected by

the 3rd respondent by Ext.P3. The petitioner is retiring from service on 31.5.2021 and has not been paid her salary since 31.12.2020. In the said

situation, the petitioner has submitted Ext.P5 representation before the 2nd respondent, requesting to approve her appointment. Hence, the writ

petition.

3.

Heard the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader appearing for the respondents 1 to 3. In view of the

limited relief that, I propose to pass, I have dispensed with notice to the 4th respondent.

4.

Taking into consideration the fact that Ext.P5 representation submitted by the petitioner is pending consideration before the 2nd respondent, without

expressing anything on merits on the matter, I direct the 2nd respondent to consider Ext.P5 representation, in accordance with law, and dispose of the

same as expeditiously as possible and at any rate within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.

The Writ Petition is ordered accordingly.
