This writ petition has been filed challenging Ext.P2 order of transfer. As per Ext.P2 the petitioner has been transferred and posted to Integrated Child Development Scheme (ICDS), Sultanbetheri. The contention of the petitioner is that she is a permanent resident of Kozhikode and just completed one year in the present station. It is further contended that going by Ext.P3 guidelines as far as possible women employees shall not be posted to hilly or remote areas. It is raising all such contentions that she raises challenge against Ext.P2 order of transfer. Evidently, Ext.P2 has been issued by the Head of the Department and therefore, going by the transfer norms, grievances against the same could be raised before the Government. In that view of the matter this writ petition .is disposed of granting liberty to the petitioner to approach the 3rd respondent by filing a proper representation. In case, the petitioner prefers such a WPC.No.21441/2011 : 2 : representation before the 3rd respondent within a period of ten days from the date of receipt of copy of this judgment, the same shall be considered by the 3rd respondent, in accordance with law, expeditiously, at any rate, within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of copy of this judgment with notice to any other persons likely to be affected in case, of issuance of an order in favour of the petitioner.
