VARGHESE) THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 21/02/2007, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: K. M. JOSEPH, J. -------------------------------------- W.P.C. NO. 5796 OF 2007 M -------------------------------------- Dated this the 21st February, 2007 JUDGMENT Case of petitioner, in brief, is as follows: Petitioner entered service in 1984 in the Government Girls' High School, Tahyyoor and she has worked in various Schools. During August, 2004, petitioner's daughter met with a train accident and died. She could not continue in the School where her daughter was a student and, therefore, requested for transfer which was granted. She was transferred to the Government Girls' High School for Girls, Wadakkancherry. Petitioner finds the sight of girl children brings back memories of her deceased daughter and she finds it unable to work in the Girls High School. She submitted Ext.P1 representation dated 20.12.2006 seeking transfer to the Government Boys' High School, Wadakkancherry. 2. I have heard the learned Government Pleader also. I feel, in the circumstances of this case, there should be a WP(C) NO.5796/07 M 2 direction to the Deputy Director of Education, Thrissur to consider Ext.P1. Hence the Deputy Director of Education, Thrissur is suo motu impleaded as the additional third respondent and the learned Government Pleader appears for the additional respondent. There will be a direction to the additional third respondent to consider and take a decision on Ext.P1 in accordance with law, within a period of three weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this Judgment. The Writ Petition is disposed of as above. K. M. JOSEPH, JUDGE kbk.
