2.This Court cannot consider such a direction for the issuance of the appointment order to the writ petitioner. However, the learned counsel appearing for the writ petitioner submits that already the benefits of equivalence sought for by the writ petitioner have been extended by the Government by passing G.O.Ms.No.133, School Education Department, dated 04.06.2012. Thus, it is for the respondents to consider the equivalence granted by the Government in respect of the facts of the case and accordingly take a decision in this regard. The writ petitioner also submitted a representation on 25.06.2012 to the respondents.

3.Without going into the merits of the case, the first respondent is directed to consider the representation submitted by the writ petitioner on 25.06.2012 and pass orders on merits and in accordance with law, within a period of eight weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. 4.Accordingly, the Writ Petition stands disposed of. However, there is no order as to costs. Consequently, the connected Miscellaneous Petition is closed.
