According to the petitioners, in the counter affidavit filed on behalf of the 1st respondent, the seniority of the petitioners has already been accepted. Therefore, they would seek a direction to the 2nd respondent to consider Ext.P8 series of applications submitted by the petitioners for general transfer this year in the light of Ext.P2. Having heard the learned Government Pleader also, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the 2nd respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P8 series of applications filed by the petitioners while considering general transfers for this year. While doing so, the applicability of Ext.P2 shall also be considered. Sd/- sdk+ S.SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE ///True copy/// P.A. to Judge
