JUDGMENT

The petitioner states that she is the senior-most HSA (Malayalam) who is entitled to get by transfer appointment as HSST against the retirement vacancy with effect from 15.07.2021. She was consequently appointed by the 4th respondent as HSST in Malayalam. However, the proposal for approval of the appointment was rejected by the 3rd respondent. The said order was upheld later by the higher authorities. The petitioner states that she has now preferred Ext.P7 review petition seeking to review Ext.P6 order of the Government which is stated to be pending.

2. When this matter was taken up for consideration, Sri. V.A.

Muhammed, the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submitted that the limited request of the petitioner is for a direction to the 1st respondent to consider and take a decision on Ext.P7 in the light of Exts.P10 to P12 after affording an opportunity of being heard to the petitioner.

3. I have heard Smt. Nisha Bose, the learned Senior Government Pleader. In view of the nature of the order that I propose to pass, notice to respondents 4 and 5 is dispensed with.

4. After having carefully evaluated the contentions raised in this writ petition, the submissions made across the Bar, and the facts and circumstances, I am of the view that this writ petition can be disposed of at the admission stage itself by issuing the following directions:

a) There will be a direction to the 1st respondent to take up, consider and pass appropriate orders on Ext.P7 in the light of Exts.P10 to P12, as per procedure and in accordance with law, after affording an opportunity of being heard, either physically or virtually, to the petitioner herein or her authorised representative and respondents

4 and 5.

b) Orders, as directed above, shall be passed expeditiously, in any event, within a period of three months from the date of production of a copy of this judgment.

c) It would be open to the petitioner to produce a copy of the writ petition along with the judgment before the concerned respondent for further action.

This writ petition is disposed of.
