NANDAKUMAR THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 21/06/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. -------------------------------------------------- W.P.(C) NO.19172 OF 2010 (V) -------------------------------------------------- Dated this the 21st day of June, 2010 J U D G M E N T Petitioner is a staff Nurse recruited for Thrissur District. Consequent on the abolition of dual control system, by Ext.P2 order, she has been transferred to Malappuram. 2. According to the petitioner she is on maternity leave and that in view of the provisions contained in Go(P).No.15/89 she is entitled to be retained at the District from where she has entered on maternity leave. It is also her case that all other transferees were retained in Trissur District itself, where vacancies are still available. Therefore she seeks an order for her retention in Trissur District itself. 3. In my view it is for the 3rd respondent to examine the claims made by the petitioner. It is seen that the petitioner has filed Ext.P6 representation before the 3rd respondent and that according to the petitioner, no orders have been passed by the 3rd respondent. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of WPC.No.19172 /2010 :2 : directing the 3rd respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P6. This shall be done as expeditiously as possible and at any rate within 4 weeks from the production of a copy of the judgment along with a copy of this writ petition (ANTONY DOMINIC) JUDGE vi/
