Shorn of details, the request made by the petitioner in Ext.P6 is for a transfer to Trivandrum City branches.

When the writ petition came up for hearing today, Sri.E.K.Nandakumar, learned standing counsel appearing for the respondent submitted that the Managing Director of the Kerala State Financial Enterprises will consider the request made by the petitioner in Ext.P6 representation and take an appropriate W.P(C).No.23013 of 2011 -:2:- decision thereon. The question whether, as claimed by the petitioner, he can be accommodated at Trivandrum or in a station other than Trivandrum in Trivandrum district is primarily a matter for the respondent to decide. I accordingly dispose of the writ petition with a direction to the Managing Director of the Kerala State Financial Enterprises to consider the request made by the petitioner in Ext.P6 representation and take an appropriate decision thereon within one month from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this judgment.
