JUDGMENT Petitioner is a Confidential Assistant in the Office of the Superintendent of Public Works Department, National Highway, South Circle, Thiruvananthapuram. She was transferred to the said office under Ext.P1 order of transfer. Prior to Ext.P1, petitioner was working in the Office of the Deputy Superintendent, Public Works Department, Thiruvanathapuram. According to the petitioner, the present posting entails a travel of 2 KM. Petitioner has certain physical difficulties and therefore, she must be posted back where she was working prior to the transfer. I find that the transfer ordered under Ext.P1 cannot be considered as bringing about any hardship or detriment as such to the petitioner. I do not, therefore, find any grounds to interfere, in this writ petition. W.P.(C).No.34161 of 2007 :: 2 :: It is open to the petitioner to pursue the request for change as contained in Ext.P5. Subject to this, the writ petition is dismissed. Sd/- (V.GIRI) JUDGE sk/ //true copy// P.S. To Judge
