Firstly, it was held that, there was no approved Manager. Secondly, it was held that, the second respondent has worked only up to 31.7.2006 pursuant to Ext.P1 appointment order and therefore, the period she has worked being only nine months, the appointment cannot be approved. The first respondent filed Ext.P9 revision before the Government challenging the above orders. The said revision was dismissed by the Government by Ext.P11 order dated 4.12.2007, holding that the period of appointment of the second respondent was for less than one academic year. Challenging Exts.P4, P5, P7 and P11 orders, the Writ Petition was filed. The learned Single Judge after hearing both sides, allowed the Writ Petition. It was held that even if the term of appointment is less than one academic year, if the term of the vacancy is for one academic year or more, the appointment should be approved. In that view of the matter, the Assistant Educational Officer was directed to approve Ext.P1 appointment. It was also ordered that if Ext.P1 order was not available, the present Manager shall forward a fresh appointment order in tune with Ext.P1 appointment order.
