JUDGMENT The petitioners are working as staff nurses Gr.II in Kannur district. They had been recruited by the PSC as staff nurses to the Kottayam district. However, since vacancies were not available in Kottayam district, they had been posted to Kannur district. According to the petitioners, their posting to Kannur district was on the specific condition that they would be transferred to Kottayam district as and when vacancies arise, without loss of seniority. 2. The present complaint of the petitioners is that though there are vacancies available in Kottayam district they have not been transferred back. They have submitted Exts.P6 and P7 representations which are pending before the second respondent. They seek the issue of appropriate directions for the consideration and disposal thereof. 3. I have heard the learned Govt. Pleader also. 4. Since Exts.P6 and P7 are pending consideration of the second respondent, it is sufficient that the said representations are directed to be considered and disposed of without further delay. WPC 28150/2011 2 5. This writ petition is accordingly disposed of directing the second respondent to consider the representations submitted by the petitioners, evidenced herein by Exts.P6 and P7 in accordance with law and to pass appropriate orders thereon, as expeditiously as possible and at any rate within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
