JUDGMENT Sanjay Karol, A.C.J —Petitioner states that for the last 11 years, in his capacity as DPE (Physical Education) , he is imparting education to the children of Government Senior Secondary School Drang, Tehsil Sadar, District Mandi, H.P., to the satisfaction of the authorities and despite the matter having been taken up by the Principal of the school with the respondent authorities, no decision with regard to grant-in-aid stands taken. The least that the State can do is sanction a regular post of DPE (Physical Education) , in the school in question to enable the petitioner to have benefit of the Grant-In-Aid PTA Rules, 2006. 2. We notice that the Deputy Director, Mandi, vide communication dated 10.9.2004 (Annexure P-5) had in fact asked the Principal of the concerned school to send a proposal with regard thereto. 3. Without pressing the petition on merits, learned counsel for the petitioner, under instructions, states that matter is pending consideration with the authorities and petitioner shall be content if a direction is issued for expeditious decision thereof. Learned Additional Advocate General has no objection to the same. 4. No other point is urged. 5. Leaving the questions of law open, a direction is issued to the respondent/competent authority to take a decision in terms of Annexure P-5, in accordance with law, expeditiously and preferably within a period of one month from today. Needless to add, if the order is not in favour of the petitioner, the authority shall assign reasons while deciding the same, which shall be communicated to the petitioners. 6. With the aforesaid observations, present petition stands disposed of, so also pending application(s) , if any.
