J U D G M E N T The petitioner is presently working as Mechanic Grade I in the office of the Assistant Controller of Stationary, Kozhikode. Petitioner's home district is Kollam. Petitioner's husband is afflicted by a very rare decease to the eye known as Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy, as a result of which he had suffered loss of vision. Consequently, he has to depend on his wife even for his day-to-day activities. According to the petitioner, as per Ext. P4 Government Order, the Government servants having such spouses are entitled to transfer to the station of their choice. Therefore, the petitioner seeks a transfer to Kollam. Seeking this relief, the petitioner has filed Exts.P6 and P8 before the 1st respondent. The petitioner seeks a direction to the 1st respondent to consider and pass orders on Exts.P6 ad P8 expeditiously. Having heard the learned Government Pleader also, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the 1st respondent to consider and pass orders on Exts.P.6 and P8 as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment, after affording an opportunity of being heard to the petitioner. If the 1st respondent is inclined to concede to the request of the petitioner, the petitioner shall be considered for accommodation in one of the vacancies at Kollam which may arise on 31.3.2011, on account of retirement.
