JUDGMENT Heard counsel for the petitioner and Govt. Pleader for respondents 1 to 3. In the nature of the order I propose to pass, notice need not be issued to respondent No:4. 2. Ext.P5 representation filed by the petitioner is pending with the Government. His grievance is that he is also included among the Non Medical Supervisors transferred from one place to another as per Ext.P4 order passed by the Director of Health Services on 9.1.2007. According to him having regard to the fact that there remains only nine months for him to retire from service, he ought not to have been transferred if the Director had complied with the norms prescribed by the Government in the matter of transfers and postings. The petitioner has been transferred from Kollam district to Taluk Head Quarters, Thodupuzha in Idukki district. 3. The first respondent has got the authority to consider the request made by the petitioner and to correct mistakes, if any, committed by the second respondent on a reconsideration of the impugned order. Hence, there shall be an order directing the first respondent to pass orders on Ext.P5, as expeditiously as possible, in any event, WPC 1756/2007 2 within three weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of the judgment. The petitioner shall produce a copy of the judgment along with a copy of the writ petition before the first respondent, for compliance. Writ petition is disposed of accordingly. K.K.DENESAN Judge jj
