TO JUDGE rs C.T.RAVIKUMAR, J. --------------------------------------- W.P(C)No.22375 of 2011 ---------------------------------------- Dated 18th August, 2011 JUDGMENT The petitioner is presently working as Supervisor, ICDS Nedumangad Additional Project, Nedumangad. This writ petition has been filed challenging Ext.P2 order of transfer. As per the said order the petitioner was transferred to ICDS Mattancherry and in her place the 5th respondent was given transfer and posting. The contention of the petitioner is that earlier, Ext.P1 order of transfer was issued as per which the petitioner was posted to ICDS, Nedumangad on request and the 5th respondent was also given such a transfer and posting on request. Pursuant to the same, the petitioner joined at Nedumangad only on 12.8.2010. It is on the request of the 5th respondent that the present order of transfer has been issued. In other words, the petitioner has not requested for a transfer. It is only to accommodate the 5th respondent that the present order of transfer has been issued. The further contention of the petitioner is that going by Clause 3 of Ext.P3 Government order a transferee will be permitted to continue at the transferred place normally for a period of three years. That benefit has not been given to the petitioner. Raising all such contentions the petitioner has already submitted Ext.P4 representation before the first WP(C).No.22375/2011 2 respondent. Since the petitioner has already moved the first respondent through Ext.P4 representation, raising her grievances against Ext.P2 order of transfer, without making any observation as to the merits of the contentions, this writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the first respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P4 representation expeditiously, at any rate, within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. It is made clear that any person/persons likely to be affected shall also be put on notice before passing orders on Ext.P4. C.T.RAVIKUMAR Judge TKS
