JUDGMENT The petitioner is working as Assistant Surgeon in the Health Services Department. She is desirous of getting transfer from the present station viz., Karunagapally to one of the hospitals in Thiruvananthapuram district. It is not necessary to state here the reasons which prompted the petitioner to file Ext.P2 representation since it is for the second respondent to consider the facts and circumstances stated in Ext.P2 and to take appropriate decision. 2. Having heard the Govt. Pleader also, I am inclined to dispose of the writ petition issuing the following directions:- i) The second respondent shall consider Ext.P2 as early as possible, in any event, within one month on the petitioner producing a copy of the judgment along with a copy of the writ petition. ii) Request made by other Assistant Surgeons for transfer to Thiruvananthapuram district also shall be considered along with Ext.P2. WPC 30291/2006 2 iii) Exigencies of service shall certainly be one of the considerations for passing orders on Ext.P2. Ordered accordingly. K.K.DENESAN Judge jj
