JUDGMENT The petitioner is currently working as Junior Public Health Nurse at Community Health Centre, Manamboor. According to the petitioner, though the 3rd respondent is shown as having been transferred to Manamboor, she is yet to join there. The petitioner submits that she is visited with considerable difficulties on account of the transfer and if she is required to join at Kesavapuram, she has to travel a longer distance. She has to look after a child aged one year. She would be put to hardship if she is compelled to travel such a long distance on account of the transfer. She has submitted Ext.P2 representation in this regard, which is pending before the 1st respondent District Medical Officer. 2. I heard learned counsel for the petitioner Sri.R.T.Pradeep and the learned Senior Government Pleader Sri.Nandakumar. 3. In my view, the petitioner's grievance can be considered by the District Medical Officer. 4. In the result, the writ petition is disposed of directing the 1st respondent to W.P.(C).NO.18693/08 :: 2 :: consider Ext.P2, hear the petitioner and pass orders thereon, within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
