Petitioner has sought for inter district transfer to Kannur district. But, at the same time she has given options in Kasargod District, as per Exhibit P1. According to the petitioner , she has been repeatedly seeking a transfer to Kannur District. Exhibit P8 is a representation which is currently pending before the Director. Since the petitioner has already completed 15 years of service in Kasargod district, relaxation of the 5 year rule is not obviously applicable to the case of the petitioner. It is open to the Director to take a decision. In the result, the writ petition is disposed of directing the 2nd respondent to pass orders on Exhibit P8, within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. W.P ( C) No. 19517 of 2008 2 Petitioner shall produce a copy of the writ petition along with copy of this judgment before the 2nd respondent, for compliance.
