While she was serving as Opthalmic Assistant in the Community Health Centre, Keechery in Ernakulam District, she opted for a posting in Kottayam District. After completing three years in Ernakulam District, she has been given a posting in Idukki, as per Ext.P4. An appeal filed before the Additional Director of Health Service as Ext.P3 still remains unattended to and hence the writ petition. 2. I heard learned Government Pleader also. 1st respondent shall consider Ext.P3 and if the petitioner's claim is found to be tenable and sustainable, appropriate orders shall be passed thereon, within one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. The fact that the petitioner has been posted in Idukki as per Ext.P4 should not stand in the way of considering a decision being taken on Ext.P3. Writ petition is disposed of as above. V.GIRI, Judge mrcs
