As per Ext.P2, he has been transferred to Ottappalam Municipality. He has been on medical leave for 1½ years and joined back only on 12.4.2010. He is not in a position to undertake long journeys. Therefore, he has submitted Ext.P3 representation setting out his grievances and seeking a convenient posting close to Perinthalmanna. Ext.P3 is pending consideration of the first respondent. 2. Since Ext.P3 is pending consideration of the first respondent, it is only appropriate that the same is directed to be considered and disposed of expeditiously. 3. This writ petition is, accordingly, disposed of directing the first respondent to consider the grievances of the petitioner set out in Ext.P3. Until final orders are passed on Ext.P3, the transfer of the petitioner ordered as per Ext.P2 shall be kept in abeyance. K.SURENDRA MOHAN, JUDGE css/ true copy P.A.TO JUDGE
