2.Heard Mr.Renga Durai, learned Counsel appearing for the petitioner and Mr.N.S.Karthikeyan, Additional Government Pleader, appearing for the respondents.

3. The learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the fourth respondent School is a aided Religious Minority Institution. The petitioner was appointed as Lab Assistant on 02.03.2017 in the fourth respondent School and the post is a sanctioned post. The appointment was due to the vacancy, because of the retirement of one Mr.Jebaraj Sundar. The appointment of the petitioner was not approved, despite the proposal being submitted by the fourth respondent on 02.03.2017. The proposal is kept pending only on the ground that the approval for appointment is not obtained.

4. This Court has consistently taken the view that no prior permission is required before making an appointment in various Non-Teaching posts in private aided institution, if the post in which the appointment is made is a sanctioned post. Hence this Writ Petition is allowed. The third respondent is directed to approve the petitioner's appointment with effect from the date of appointment with all service and monetary benefits by sanctioning grant within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. No Costs.
