THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 22/04/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = W.P.(C) No.13442 OF 2008 = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = Dated this the 22nd April, 2008. J U D G M E N T Petitioner submits that, she is a physically handicapped person with locomotive difficulties, appointed and regularised in the service of the first respondent on that basis. It is stated that, by Ext.P5 she has been transferred to Kumarankudy Estate Office, a place far away from the present place of her posting. According to her, the transfer effected by Ext.P5 has caused untold miseries and hence this writ petition has been filed. 2. If the transfer is a condition of service, this court will not be justified in interfering with the same. If there are unavoidable circumstances, it is for the appointing authority to consider those circumstances and pass orders. 3. In this case, I notice that seeking redressal of her grievance, the petitioner has already filed Ext.P6 application to the first respondent and according to the petitioner orders have not been W.P.(C) No.13442/2008 2 passed on Ext.P6. Therefore, this writ petition is disposed of directing that the first respondent shall on the production of a copy of this judgment consider Ext.P6 as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within 3 weeks thereafter. It is also directed that, in the meantime, Ext.P5 in so far as the petitioner is concerned will be kept in abeyance and its implementation will depend upon the decision to be taken by the first respondent on Ext.P6. Petitioner shall produce a copy of the judgment before the first respondent for compliance. ANTONY DOMINIC JUDGE vi
