SMT. ANIMA M., GOVERNMENT PLEADER THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 27.03.2025, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: 2025:KER:26173 WP(C) No.12805 of 2025 3 JUDGMENT Dated this the 27th day of March, 2025 The petitioner is working as LPST in Moweri Mopla LP School with effect from 01.06.2017. The appointment was approved on daily wages as the School was uneconomic during that year. However, from the Academic Year 2022- 2023 onwards, total strength of the pupils in the School increased to 70 and in the subsequent years also, the School has maintained the effective strength for sanctioning minimum strength of Teachers. 2. Though the petitioner has not acquired K-TET qualification for the time being, the 1st respondent has granted relaxation for acquiring the said qualification till May, 2025. In Ext.P8 order, it is directed to finalise the process of granting approval to those Teachers, who are waiting for approval on the issue of K-TET during the period from 2025:KER:26173 WP(C) No.12805 of 2025 4 01.06.2012 to 2019-2020. This aspect was not properly considered by the 4th respondent while issuing Ext.P9 order. 3. Though the petitioner moved a Revision Petition before the 2nd respondent, the same was rejected as per Ext.P12 stating that the petitioner is not a permanent Teacher in the School as her appointment is approved on daily wages. The contention of the 2nd respondent is illegal and against Ext.P13 order issued by the 1st respondent as her appointment is in the regular established vacancy, contends the petitioner. 4. I have heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader representing respondents 1 to 4. 5. Against Ext.P12 order, which is impugned in this writ petition, the petitioner has preferred Ext.P14 Revision Petition before the 1st respondent. As Ext.P14 Revision Petition is filed invoking Rule 92 of Chapter XIVA of the KER, 2025:KER:26173 WP(C) No.12805 of 2025 5 it would be only appropriate that the 1st respondent considers the same and takes appropriate decision thereon expeditiously. The writ petition is therefore disposed of directing the 1st respondent to consider Ext.P14 Revision Petition and take appropriate decision thereon within a period of four months, adverting to Exts.P8 and P13.
