Timely action on representations concerning service approval is essential for effective public administration.

JUDGMENT

The above writ petition is filed with following prayers :

i) “To issue a writ in the nature of mandamus or any other appropriate writ or order directing respondent No. 4 to grant approval of appointment to the petitioner from 19.09.2008 to 31.05.2009 in the additional division vacancy as High School Teacher (Physical Science) as granted to similarly situated teachers by Exts. P4 to P9, P10 and P10(a) judgments passed by this Hon’ble Court, by implementation of Exhibit-P13 Government Order within such time as this Hon’ble Court may deem fit and proper in the interest of justice;

ii) To issue a writ in the nature of mandamus or any other appropriate writ or order directing respondent No. 1 to consider and pass final orders on Ext.P15 representation with notice and opportunity of hearing to the petitioner within such time as this Hon'ble Court may deem fit and proper in the interest of justice;

iii) To mould and grant such other reliefs, as this Hon’ble Court shall deem just and proper in the interest of justice, including costs.

iv) Dispense with the production of English translation of documents in vernacular language.” [sic]

2. According to the petitioner, Ext.P13 order is there in favour of the petitioner and the same is not implemented and hence, the petitioner submitted Ext.P15 before the 1^st respondent. The prayer in this writ petition is to consider Ext.P15 within a time frame.

3. Heard the learned Government Pleader also.

4. I think that prayer can be allowed.

Therefore, this writ petition is disposed of with the following directions :

1) The 1^st respondent is directed to consider Ext.P15 and pass appropriate orders in the light of Ext.P13 as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within one month from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this judgment.

2) The petitioner will produce a certified copy of this judgment along with a copy of this writ petition with exhibits before the 1^st respondent for compliance.
