P4 order of the 2nd respondent, whereby the petitioner was transferred to P.H.C. Muliyar allegedly to accommodate the 3rd respondent. The petitioner submits that the petitioner has not completed even one year at CHC, Cheruvathur, where he is presently working. He further submits that there is no administrative exigency also to transfer him without completing the three years, which normally is the period a person is expected to serve at one station in accordance with the norms of transfer. In the above circumstances, the petitioner has filed Ext. P5 representation before the 2nd respondent. The petitioner seeks a direction to the 2nd respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext. P5 expeditiously. Having heard the learned Government Pleader also, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the 2nd respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P5 as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment, after affording an opportunity of being heard to the petitioner as well as the 3rd respondent. If the petitioner has not already been relieved from CHC, Cheruvathur, the petitioner shall be allowed to continue there until a final decision is taken on Ext. P5. Sd/- S. Siri Jagan, Judge.
