JUDGMENT

¶24

(Judgment of the Court was authored by R.SURESH KUMAR, J.) This intra-Court appeal has been directed against the order

¶25

passed by the Writ Court dated 15.12.2021 made in W.P.No.3324 of 2020. In fact, it was a common order, where, the said writ petition, along with other writ petitions, was heard and disposed by the learned Single Judge of the Writ Court.

¶26

Non-teaching staff were appointed in Aided Recognized Schools. Here, one Beulah , who is the first respondent, was appointed as an Office Assistant in the second respondent School/Danish Mission Higher Secondary School, Thiruvannamalai. Her appointment was not approved, therefore, she approached the Writ Court by filing a writ petition in W.P.No.3324 of 2020.

¶27

The said writ petition was heard along with other connected writ petitions and those writ petitions were allowed through the impugned common order passed by the Writ Court, giving directions to the appellant Department to approve the appointments of those non-teaching staff.
