SRI.N.SUGATHAN SMT.VARSHA BHASKAR RESPONDENT : ---------------------- THE DIRECTOR OF HOMOEOPATHY, DIRECTORATE OF HOMOEOPATHY, EAST FORT, THIRUVANANTHAPURAM-695 023. BY GOVT. PLEADER SRI. SANDHESH RAJA THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 03/02/2011, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: Mn T.R. RAMACHANDRAN NAIR, J. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ W.P.(C). No.3464/2011-G ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dated this the 3rd day of February, 2011 J U D G M E N T The petitioner seeks for a direction to the respondent to take a decision on Ext.P6 application for general transfer. 2. The petitioner is presently working in Government Homoeo Dispensary, Nagaroor in Thiruvananthapuram District. It is stated that he has already completed 5 years there. Earlier, the petitioner had filed an application for posting in Government Homoeo Dispensary, Chadayamangalam but one Shri M.K.Suresh Babu was transferred and posted to that station by Ext.P4 order which was challenged before this Court by filing W.P.(C).No.13837/2010 and the writ petition was dismissed upholding the said order as per Ext.P5 Judgment. Pursuant to the notification dated 02/12/2010 inviting application for general transfers of employees in the Homoeopathy Department for the year 2011, the petitioner submitted Ext.P6 application. The apprehension of the petitioner is that in the light of the dismissal of the writ petition filed by him W.P.(C). No.3464/2011 -:2:- challenging the order issued last year, the respondent may not consider his application at all. 3. The learned Government Pleader submitted that the first choice of the petitioner is Chadayamangalam itself which, in the light of the Judgment, the respondent may not be able to consider. The said contention appears to be correct. Unless Shri M.K.Suresh Babu is proposed to be transferred to another place, the petitioner will not be able to get a consideration for posting in Chadayamangalam. 4. There will be a direction to the respondent to consider Ext.P6 application of the petitioner along with the general transfer applications in terms of the norms but confining the choices to Nos.2 and 3, namely, Government Homoeo Dispensary, Elamade and Government Homoeo Dispensary, Nagaroor after taking into consideration Exts.P1 and P2 also. The writ petition is disposed of as above. No costs. Sd/- (T.R. Ramachandran Nair, Judge.) ms \\TRUE COPY// P.A TO JUDGE
