BY ADV.SRI. V. VENUGOPAL, SR.GOVERNMENT PLEADER THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 24.03.2025, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: W.P.(C)No.11274 of 2025 :3: 2025:KER:24999 J U D G M E N T Dated this the 24th day of March, 2025 The petitioner states that as against the vacancy of HSST (Junior) Economics which could be filled up by direct recruitment as per the Rules, Selection Committee was convened, including Government nominee. Among the candidates appeared, the petitioner fared well and she was selected. 2. The petitioner was served with appointment order dated 16.12.2024 as HSST (Junior) Economics. Pursuant to the appointment of the petitioner, proposals along with the required documents were made over to the 3rd respondent by the Manager for approval to the appointment of the petitioner covered by Ext.P4. But, it is declined on trivial reason. The 3rd W.P.(C)No.11274 of 2025 :4: 2025:KER:24999 respondent could have kept the proposal in the office and called for remarks in fairness. 3. The petitioner states that necessary roster details regarding the appointments of Differently Abled hands were available and requisition was made by the Manager to the officers concerned. In view of these, approval to the appointment of the petitioner could be granted in line with Ext.P10 judgment of Hon'ble Apex Court. 4. In the circumstances, assailing Ext.P7 and seeking approval to Ext.P4 appointment which was made in compliance with statutory provision, revision petition dated 27.02.2025 is moved before the Government. It is pending. The petitioner was appointed in compliance with the statutory provisions contained in Chapter XXXII, KER. Hence, in any view of the matter, the appointment of the petitioner is liable to be approved, contends the petitioner. W.P.(C)No.11274 of 2025 :5: 2025:KER:24999 5. I have heard the learned Counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader representing respondents 1 to 3. 6. From the pleadings, I find that the petitioner has moved Ext.P11 revision petition before the Government invoking the provisions of the KER. In view of Ext.P10 judgment of the Hon’ble Apex Court, the 1st respondent can very well consider Ext.P11 and take a decision expeditiously. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of directing the 1st respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P11 in the light of Ext.P10 judgment of the Hon’ble Apex Court, within a period of four months, after giving an opportunity of hearing to the petitioner.
