The request of the petitioner for ratification of the appointment through proper channel and the representation to the Chief Ministers Special Cell was considered and rejected by the District Elementary Educational Officer in his proceedings Na.Ka.No.5737/B2/98 dated 20.11.1998 stating that the appointment was not made by calling for candidates from the employment exchange and the fourth respondent institution has not followed the rules of Communal Rotation. It is further stated by the authority that the status of the fourth respondent school in respect of its claim for linguistic minority status is pending before the civil court and consequently the case of the petitioner cannot be considered at that point of time. 3.

I am of the view that it would meet the ends of justice if a direction is issued to the third respondent not to proceed further on the show cause notice until or otherwise a final order is passed on the representation dated 6-5-2003 said to have been filed before the second and fourth respondents. It is submitted by the learned Senior Counsel Mr.Badhsha appearing for the petitioner that the State Minority Commission has also recommended the petitioner institution as a minority institution. Therefore, while passing orders on the representation of the petitioner dated 6-5-2003, the respondents are directed to take into consideration of the recommendation so made by the minority commission.

The grievance of the petitioner is that she having been appointed as a secondary grade teacher in the fourth respondent school, her appointment should be approved by the competent authorities and she will be entitled to all consequential service and monetary benefits. At that time when the writ petition was filed, the authorities have not approved her appointment. The appointment of the petitioner was not considered by the authorities as the fourth respondent schools claim with regard to linguistic minority status was not decided in view of the pendency of the civil court proceedings. 6. The learned Government Advocate referred to the G.O.Ms.No.91 School Education (X2) Department dated 33. 2009 and stated that consequent to the passing of the G.O. as above, the claim of the petitioner and other teachers will be considered by the appropriate authorities and suitable orders will have to be passed with regard to the claim for salary and other service benefits. Therefore, necessary direction could be issued to the authorities to pass appropriate orders keeping in mind the G.O.No.91 School Education dated 33. 2009 granting the linguistic minority status to the fourth respondent school. 7.

Earlier order of this court passed in W.P.No.17129 of 2003 on 9. 2003, restrained the authorities from proceeding further in the matter until the representation of the fourth respondent school was considered.
