JUDGMENT
[Judgment of the Court was made by R.SUBRAMANIAN, J.]
We are unable to fault the Writ Court for allowing the Writ Petition, directing approval of appointment of the first respondent as B.T. Assistant (History) in the second respondent School, inasmuch as the direction is only to approve if the appointment is within the sanctioned strength of the School. Acknowledging the fact that the appointment is within the sanctioned strength of the School, the authority has approved the appointment even on 16.08.2024. Hence, we see no merit in the Writ Appeal. The Writ Appeal fails and it is accordingly, dismissed. No costs. Consequently, connected Miscellaneous Petition is closed.
