3. By consent of both parties, this writ petition is taken up for final hearing at the admission stage itself.

4. The petitioner has been appointed as a Physical Education Teacher in the 6th respondent School and the proposals sent to approve his appointment was not considered by the 4th respondent so far. Hence, the petitioner has filed this writ petition for issuance of a direction to the 4th respondent.

5.
