JUDGMENT
The petitioner, who is working as LPSA in the L.P.School, Thalapanangad, was promoted as Headmistress on 24/10/2013 in a vacancy that arose on the death of the previous incumbent. Pursuant to a denial of approval to the said appointment of the petitioner, the petitioner has moved the Educational Authorities. By an order dated 21/05/2015, the DEO directed the AEO to promote and appoint the 6th respondent as Headmistress. Aggrieved by the said order of the the DEO, the petitioner has preferred Ext. P7 revision before the 1st respondent. In the writ petition, the limited prayer of the petitioner is for a direction to the 1st respondent to consider and pass appropriate orders on Ext.P7 within a specified time frame and to direct the 5th respondent not to make any appointment to the post of Headmistress in the meanwhile.
