The court mandates timely consideration of statutory revision petitions to prevent hardship to the petitioner.

JUDGMENT

Dated this the 29^th day of November, 2025 The petitioner states that he was appointed as Full Time Arabic Teacher on 26.4.2018 and is continuing in service with approval.

2. However, the 2^nd respondent, by the staff fixation proceedings dated 06.8.2025 for the academic year 2025- 2026, reduced one Arabic Teacher post in the LP Section of the School. The 2^nd respondent further found and sanctioned one additional Arabic post to the UP Section of the School. The petitioner, entered service on 26.4.2018 and is continuing in service with approval, will be thrown out of service consequent to Ext.P3 Staff Fixation with effect from

15.7.2025.

3. In fact, the total number of posts sanctioned to the School is 45, whether it is in LP section or UP section. There is no change in the total number of posts. The Government in similar situations decided and granted sanction to treat both LP and UP as one School and even if there are changes in posts, not to consider it as additional posts. The petitioner has preferred Ext.P4 Revision Petition before the 1^st respondent, which is pending consideration. Delay in its consideration would cause extreme hardship to the petitioner, contends the petitioner.

4. I have heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader representing respondents 1 and 2. Notice to the 3^rd respondent is dispensed with, in view of the nature of the relief to be granted in this writ petition.

5. The petitioner has preferred Ext.P4 Revision Petition before the 1^st respondent aggrieved by the staff fixation order. As Ext.P4 is a statutory Revision Petition, it would be only just and proper that the 1^st respondent considers and passes orders thereon within a reasonable time.

The writ petition is accordingly disposed of directing the

1^st respondent to consider Ext.P4 Revision Petition and pass appropriate orders thereon within a period of three months, after giving an opportunity of hearing to the petitioner as well as the 3^rd respondent.
