Pursuant to the abolition of the Dual Control System of the health service staff attached to the Department of Medical Education, the petitioner opted to stay with the Health Services Department. Pursuant to the same, the petitioner has been accommodated in Aroor Primary Health Centre in a supernumerary post. The petitioner aspires for inter-district transfer to Ernakulam district. The petitioner has filed Ext.P5 representation in this regard before the 1st respondent. The petitioner seeks a direction to the 1st respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P5, which has been forwarded by the 2nd respondent along with Ext.P4, expeditiously. 2. The learned Government Pleader, on instructions, submits that inter-district transfer can only be to 10% quota earmarked for the same. 3. Having heard both sides, I am of opinion that the same is also a matter which the 1st respondent can consider while passing orders on Exts.P4 and P5, in accordance with law. Accordingly, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the 1st respondent to consider and pass orders on Exts.P4 and P5, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within one month from the date of receipt of a copy of the Judgment.
