J U D G M E N T The petitioner while working as an Upper Division Clerk in the Thrissur Corporation had submitted Ext.P3 application requesting for a transfer to either Kollam, Karunagappalli or Kayamkulam. According to the petitioner, as per Ext.P1 provisional order of transfer, he had been proposed to be transferred to Kollam. However, when Ext.P2 order was finally issued, he has been transferred to Kalamassery Municipality. The petitioner is aggrieved for the additional reason that his posting has been described as one on request. The petitioner has therefore challenged his transfer by filing Ext.P4. He submits that no orders have been passed thereon till date. 2. I have heard the learned Government Pleader also. WP(C).No.28249/2011-E. 2 3. In view of the fact that Ext.P4 appeal is pending consideration of the first respondent, it is sufficient that this writ petition is disposed of directing the said authority to consider the petitioner's appeal on the merits. 4. This writ petition is accordingly disposed of directing the first respondent to consider the appeal filed by the petitioner, evidenced herein by Ext.P4, in accordance with law and to pass appropriate orders thereon, as expeditiously as possible and at any rate within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
