The court directed additional advocate general (AAG) K Chellapandian to furnish details of the person who would probe the irregularities in the appointments.
The illegal appointments came to light after a disabled man, who was denied posting, sought information under the RTI Act about basis of the appointments.
K Ganesan of Thiruparankundram, who moved the court through advocate S Balamurugan last week, said according to information obtained under the RTI Act, out of thirteen vacancies to the posts of watchman, only two appointments were made on merits and the remaining were given to candidates recommended by cooperation minister, Madurai North MLA, Usilampatti MLA and the Madurai district secretary of the ruling party.
In the case of the appointments for the posts of sweeper, only ten out 24 postings were made on merits. Others were appointed on the recommendations of cooperation minister, Madurai South MLA, Thotiyam district secretary, Usilampatti MLA, Tirumangalam MLA and Madurai North MLA, the petitioner stated.
Stating that the appointments were illegal, the petition urged the court to quash them.
When the matter came up for hearing on Friday, joint director of school education S Kannappan, former director of school education K Devarajan, chief educational officer of Madurai C Amuthavalli and district educational officer of Usilampatti S Ravikumar appeared before the court.
Expressing dissatisfaction over the issue, Justice S Nagamuthu posed various questions to additional advocate general. The judge said that the court was not satisfied with the method followed in the appointments.
The AAG informed the court that the government had appointed an IAS officer to conduct a probe into the irregularities in appointments. However, the judge suggested that an IPS officer would be the right person to conduct the probe since he or she is well-versed in technicalities.
Following it, the AAG sought time to get instructions from the government. Accepting it, the judge directed the AAG to furnish details by September 11.
It may be recalled that chief minister J Jayalalithaa sacked education minister P Vaigaichelvan on Thursday, a few days after the petitioner moved the court.
