J U D G M E N T The petitioner is working as the Sub Registrar, Chithara. He was promoted to the said post on 31.3.2010 as per Ext.P1. According to him, he had requested for a posting either to Varkala, Kilimanoor or Navaikulam. According to him, he is entitled to claim such a posting for the reason that he is due to retire on 31.3.2012. However, ignoring his claim he was transferred to his present posting place. The petitioner therefore seeks a transfer to one of the places of his choice as indicated above. His representation, Ext.P5 seeking such a posting is pending before the respondent. 2. The learned Govt.Pleader, on instructions, submits that 15 vacancies of Sub Registrars are about to arise and therefore, the request of the petitioner would be WP(C).No.31213/2011-B. 2 considered without much delay. 3. In view of the above, this writ petition is disposed of directing the respondent to consider the request of the petitioner contained in Ext.P5 representation in accordance with law and to pass appropriate orders thereon, as expeditiously as possible and at any rate within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
