He hails from Kasargod District. He seeks an inter- district transfer. According to the petitioner, he is eligible for such inter-district transfer. Therefore, the petitioner has filed Ext.P1 representation followed by Ext.P2 application for transfer during the general transfers of this year. Petitioner seeks a direction to the 1st respondent to consider and pass orders on Exts.P1 and P2 when general transfers are being considered this year. 2. Having heard the learned Government Pleader also, I dispose of the writ petition with a direction to the 1st respondent to consider and pass orders on Exts.P1 and P2 filed by the petitioner while ordering general transfers during this year. The learned Government Pleader contended that such consideration can only be in accordance with law and the norms prescribed for WPC 4892/2011 2 inter-district transfers.
