JUDGMENT The petitioner is working as Headmistress of L.P. School. Kattamala in Idukki District. She is due to retire from service on 31.3.2010. She is a permanent resident of Kottickal near Mundakayam. The nearest school to that place is Govt. U.P. School, Peruvanthanam. The petitioner is seeking for a transfer to the said station on medical grounds in an existing vacancy. Aggrieved by the steps taken to transfer the petitioner to Government L.P. School, Chottupara, she has approached this court by filing this writ petition. 2. Learned Govt. Pleader, on written instructions submits that the petitioner has not submitted any supporting evidence along with her transfer application for getting priority for transfer as mentioned in serial No.22 of the transfer application. The name of the teacher has been included in the provisional list of Headmasters, but no priority was given her for want of supporting evidence to prove disability. Opportunities were afforded to all concerned to file complaints/objections. As such the petitioner has filed complaints against the non-inclusion of her name in the priority list along wpc 15491/2009 2 with supporting evidence. The complaint received has been duly examined and steps have been taken to include her name in the priority list for transfer. The above submission is recorded. 3. In the light of the fact that steps have been taken in the matter in accordance with the objection filed by the petitioner, the first respondent will see that appropriate orders are passed taking into consideration the grievance raised by the petitioner. The writ petition is disposed of as above. No costs. (T.R. Ramachandran Nair, Judge.) kav/
