No.19783 of 2010 (W) --------------------------------- Dated, this the 24th day of June, 2010 J U D G M E N T The petitioner is working as a Sub Engineer in the Kerala State Electricity Board. Her grievance is regarding Ext.P2 order to the extent, she has been transferred from Pallam to Meencut in Idukki District. According to the petitioner, she is undergoing treatment for cervical spondylitis. It is stated that for that reason and as continued treatment is necessary, she has submitted Ext.P1 representation to the 1st respondent prior to Ext.P2, requesting that she be exempted from transfer for one more year. It is stated that it was without considering Ext.P1, she has now been ordered to be transferred. 2. I heard the learned standing counsel for the respondents also. 3. Admittedly, the petitioner has no dispute about her liability for transfer. Therefore, the transfer by itself cannot be faulted. However, for medical reason if she wants to get exemption WP(C) No.19783/2010 -2- from transfer, I feel, this certainly is a matter for the 1st respondent to consider. 4. Having regard to the case of the petitioner that Ext.P1 is pending before the 1st respondent, I direct the 1st respondent to consider the said request and pass appropriate orders thereon. This the 1st respondent shall do as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within two weeks of production of a copy of this judgment. The petitioner shall produce a copy of this judgment before the 1st respondent for compliance. This writ petition is disposed of as above. (ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE) jg
