JUDGMENT Petitioner was posted Chief Veterinary Officer in Kannur District Veterinary Centre on 18.12.2006 and thereafter he was promoted as Deputy Director at Kasaragod. This was as per Ext.P1 order. According to the petitioner, the transfer from Kannur to Kasaragod has caused him serious hardship. He has sought for variation of the same by means of Ext.P2 representation submitted before the 1st respondent. After hearing learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader, the writ petition is disposed of directing the first respondent to look into Ext.P2 and take an appropriate decision thereon, after affording an opportunity of being heard to the petitioner, within four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
