Headnote

The petitioners challenged orders declining approval of their appointments as higher secondary school teachers under relevant government education rules. Essential facts include rejection by the District Educational Officer and subsequent revision petitions filed before the government seeking expeditious disposal. The court found that the revisions required prompt consideration with opportunity of hearing. The primary issue framed was the need for expeditious disposal of revision petitions against appointment approval refusals. The court's reasoning emphasized procedural fairness, directing hearing for petitioners and the school manager before deciding the revisions. The writ petition is disposed with direction to the first respondent to consider and pass orders on the revision petitions within four months.
