Though notice was duly served on the respondent, no steps were taken to contest the appeal by engaging the counsel. Heard the learned Special Government Pleader for the appellants. 3. It is brought to our notice that the issue raised in the writ petition is covered by a Division Bench decision of this Court reported in 2002 Writ Law Reporter 173 (Secretary and Correspondent, Uswathun Hasana Oriental (Arabic) Girls Higher Secondary School, Pallapathi-639 205, Karur District Vs. The State of Tamil Nadu and Four Others). However, the learned single Judge has issued a positive direction to release the staff grant to the writ petitioner from February, 2001 onwards. 4. The learned Special Government Pleader has brought to our notice that in various similar writ petitions, following the Division Bench decision referred to above, orders have been passed permitting the writ petitioners/aggrieved persons/schools to make a representation to the concerned Educational Officer and this Court directed the said authority to consider and dispose of the said representation in accordance with law expeditiously. 5.

In view of the conclusion arrived at by the Division Bench, as rightly pointed out by the learned Special Government Pleader, no positive direction could be granted for release of staff grant to the writ petitioner-School.
