The court emphasized the need for timely decisions on personnel appointments by administrative authorities, ensuring procedural fairness in employment matters.

JUDGMENT Dated this the 29^th day of January, 2026 The petitioner, who was initially appointed as Full Time Menial in St.George’s High School in the year 2019, has approached this Court seeking to quash Exts.P5 and P6 and to command the 4^th respondent to approve the appointment of the petitioner as Office Attendant treating it as an established and substantive vacancy, pending approval of the 5^th respondent’s promotion and appointment in the Cadre of Clerk, within a time frame.

2. I have heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader representing respondents 1 to 4.

3. From the pleadings, I find that the petitioner has now preferred Ext.P9 appeal before the 2^nd respondent highlighting his grievance. In the facts of the case, I am of the view that the 2^nd respondent can consider Ext.P9 appeal and take appropriate decision thereon in accordance with law, within a reasonable time.

The writ petition is accordingly disposed of directing the 2^nd respondent to consider Ext.P9 and pass appropriate orders thereon within a period of two months after giving opportunity of hearing to the petitioner.
