PLEADER. THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 06/06/2011, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S. SIRI JAGAN, J. ------------------------------------------- W.P.(C) No.15124 OF 2011 ---------------------------------------------- Dated this the 6th day of June, 2011 JUDGMENT The petitioner is working as a Pharmacist Storekeeper in the Health Service Department of the State Government. According to the petitioner, she got inter-district transfer to Thiruvananthapuram from Idukki at a time when loss of seniority in the transferred district was not a condition for inter-district transfer. In the subsequent seniority list prepared also, the petitioner was given the correct seniority position saving her seniority position even after the inter district transfer. The petitioner now apprehends revision of seniority without reference to the fact that the petitioner did not actually lose seniority on inter-district transfer to Thiruvananthapuram. Against the same, the petitioner has filed Ext.P8 representation before the 2nd respondent. The petitioner seeks a direction to the 2nd respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P8 expeditiously. Having heard the learned Government Pleader also, I W.P.(C)No.15124/11 2 dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the 2nd respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P8, after affording an opportunity of being heard to the petitioner as well as respondents 3 and 4, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
