C.T.RAVIKUMAR, J. --------------------------------------- W.P(C)No.22401 of 2011 ---------------------------------------- Dated 18th August, 2011 JUDGMENT The petitioner is presently working as Child Development Project Officer in Anthikadu under the Social Welfare Department. In this writ petition the petitioner assails Exts.P1 and P2 orders of transfer. The petitioner has already raised her grievances against Exts.P1 and P2 by filing Ext.P4 representation. However, Ext.P4 representation has been filed before the very same authority who passed the impugned transfer orders. Besides raising grievances against Exts.P1 and P2 the petitioner has also pointed out the places wherein vacancies are available to accommodate her. Since the orders of transfer have been issued by the Head of the Department the petitioner has to take up his grievances against the same before the Government. In that view of the matter, this writ petition is disposed of granting liberty to the petitioner to move the Government raising her claims and contentions as also grievances against Exts.P1 and P2. The petitioner may do so within 10 days from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. In case the petitioner prefers such a representation the same shall be considered by the Secretary to Government, Social Welfare Department expeditiously, at any rate, WP(C).No.22401/2011 2 within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. To enable the said authority to comply with the directions the petitioner shall produce a copy of this judgment along with the representation to the Government. Sd/- C.T.RAVIKUMAR Judge TKS
