She has been posted as a Consultant in the General Hospital, Ernakulam, According to the Government Pleader such a placement was made on the basis of cadre seniority of the petitioner. Petitioner states that such posting has been ordered overlooking her seniority and the stations opted by her. In view of the above and in order to avoid the placement in Ernakulam she now seeks placement in the General Cadre and seeking this she has filed Ext.P5 before the first respondent. In this writ petition what the petitioner seeks is a direction to the first respondent to consider Ext.P5. 2. Taking into account the aforesaid grievance of the petitioner, I feel that it is only appropriate that the first respondent should consider Ext.P5. Therefore I direct that Ext.P5 shall be decided by the first respondent as expeditiously as possible and at any rate within 2 months from the production of a copy of the WPC.No.17586 /2010 :2 : judgment along with a copy of this writ petition. Petitioner shall produce a copy of the judgment along with copy of this writ Petition before the first respondent for compliance. (ANTONY DOMINIC) JUDGE vi/
