BY GOVERNMENT PLEADER SRI.BEJOY CHANDRAN THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 12/12/2007, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: V.GIRI, J. ========================= W.P.(C)NO.36744 OF 2007 ========================= Dated this the 12th day of December 2007 JUDGMENT The petitioner claims to be working as an Anganwadi worker presently at Cheppathodu, Eramom-Kuttoor Panchayat, Kannur. She has sought for a transfer from Cheppathodu Anganwady to the newly opened Anganwadi at kadavanad vide Exts.P1 and P2. Apparently they have not been looked into. In the meanwhile 5th respondent had been appointed at Kadavanad. In my view, petitioner's claim raised under Exts.P1 and P2 may be looked into. In the circumstances, the writ petition is disposed of directing the second respondent to consider the request made by the petitioner for a transfer and posting at Kadavanad, if permissible in law and take a decision thereon, after hearing the petitioner and any other affected person within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
