JUDGMENT
The petitioner claims to be working as Lower Primary School Assistant in a Nursery and LP School, Nanthencode in Thiruvananthapuram.
Petitioner submits that her appointments in leave vacancy have been approved. Last approval was on 17/8/2012. Thereafter, approval has not been granted. In Ext.P4 order passed by the Government, it is noted that vacancy in unaided school can be filled up only by protected teachers. As the school in which the petitioner is working is an unaided school, only protected teachers can be appointed in vacancies. Thereafter, the petitioner approached the Hon'ble Minister for Education by Ext.P7 revision petition. It seems that the Hon'ble Minister referred the matter to the Government at Secretary level. The Special Secretary to Government, as per Ext.P8 communication, directed the Manager of the School as follows;

The matter in this regard may be intimated urgently to Government."
2. The petitioner submitted that if the proceedings based on Ext.P8 is concluded, her period of service from 2012 onwards likely to be regularised and approved.
3. Considering Ext.P8, appropriate decision shall be taken by the Government, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate,within three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment, after affording an opportunity of hearing to the petitioner and the Manager of the school.
