1. During the course of hearing, learned Senior Counsel appearing on behalf of the State of Kerala agrees to resolve the modalities to expedite the filling up of vacancies reserved for specially-abled candidates in different Government aided schools in the State.

2. In our considered opinion, the State can constitute, notwithstanding any provision contained in the Rules, a State Level Selection Committee after securing information of posts sanctioned for such candidates. The selection process can be completed in a time-bound manner making it obligatory on the managements of schools receiving grant-in-aid to offer appointment to the candidates so recommended by the Selection Committee.

3. Let the proposal be put up for consideration within four weeks.

4. Post these matters for hearing on 02.01.2024.
