Petitioner is aggrieved by the same inter alia for the reason that she had persistently requested for a posting either in Thiruvananthapuram or in Kollam. But she has been denied the same. She points out that she is desperately in need of a posting in Thiruvananthapuram to take care of her child who has a congenital heart disease. 2. In my view, petitioner's request should be considered with all its seriousness and earnestness which it deserves. This may be done by the Government itself.
