R1 TO R4 BY GOVERNMENT PLEADER SRI.ANTONY MUKKATH THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 14/01/2011, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: sts S. SIRI JAGAN, J. ----------------------------------- W.P.(C) No.362 OF 2011 --------------------------------------- Dated this the14th day of January, 2011 JUDGMENT While the petitioner was working as Special Village Officer, Pathanamthitta, the petitioner was suspended from service on certain allegations of misconduct, but was later reinstated and directed to be posted in a non-sensitive post outside Pathanamthitta district. Consequently, the petitioner was posted as Special Village Officer, Wythiri Taluk in Wayanad district. Thereafter, by Ext.P4, the petitioner was promoted as Head Clerk and posted at Pathanamthitta district. Consequently, the petitioner was relieved from Wayanad and he reported for duty at Pathanamthitta on 6.12.2010. While so, by Ext.P5, the third respondent ordered that the petitioner's posting again at Pathanamthitta was contrary to the earlier orders and therefore, he shall be posted in a non-sensitive post outside Pathanamthitta district. The petitioner is challenging Ext.P5 order in this writ petition. However, the petitioner now submits that the petitioner W.P.(C)No.362/11 2 has already submitted Ext.P6 representation in this regard before the fourth respondent and therefore, the fourth respondent may be directed to consider Ext.P6 expeditiously. Having heard the learned Government Pleader also, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the fourth respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P6 as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment, after affording an opportunity of being heard to the petitioner.
