JUDGMENT The petitioner is a native of Ernakulam District, working as Overseer Grade I in the office of the Assistant Executive Engineer (Agriculture), Malampuzha. She has sought for a posting in her native place. Ext.P2 is the application submitted by her in that regard. Ext.P2 has been forwarded to the 1st respondent. The petitioner has reiterated her request in Ext.P4 representation. Her contention is that her application for a posting in Ernakulam District is deliberately not considered, awaiting completion of three years by the 2nd respondent in Ernakulam. The 2nd respondent is also desirous of getting a posting in Kottayam. 2. I heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader. In the result, the writ petition is disposed of directing the 1st respondent to pass orders on the petitioner's application Ext.P2 for a posting in Ernakulam District, along with Ext.P4, within one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. At any rate, W.P.(C).NO.17093/08 :: 2 :: such orders shall be passed before the existing vacancy in the post of Overseer Grade I, in Ernakulam District, is filled up.
