The issue raised in this writ petition is, in my opinion, squarely covered against the petitioners by the decision of the Division Bench of this Court in Manju Balakrishnan & others V. State of Kerala & others (2009(2) KHC 492). The writ petition accordingly fails and is dismissed. If the petitioners have any grievance regarding the station to which they are posted, they may move the Government by filing an appropriate representation. In the event of such representation is being filed, the Government shall consider the same and pass final orders thereon within three months from the date on which such representation is received by the Government. The writ petition is dismissed with the above observations. P.N.RAVINDRAN, JUDGE. mn.
