GIRI , J ========================== W.P.(C) NO. 27506 OF 2007 ========================== Dated this the 4th day of September, 2007. JUDGMENT The petitioner was promoted to the post of Junior Superintnedent with effect from 18.07.2007, and posted at Thenmala in Kollam District. She is due to retire on 30.11.2007. She belongs to the Hindu Vannan community which is a notified schedule caste. 2. According to the petitioner, she could have been given a posting in her native district, Kottayam, at least, on the eve of her retirement. She has pointed out the existence of vacancies at three places, which would be more convenient to her in Exts.P4 and P5. 3. I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader as well. I have gone through Exts.P4 and P5. 4. It is the significant fact that the petitioner is due to retire on 30.11.2007 and it is also equally significant that she is a member of the Schedule Caste. It is appropriate that the 1st respondent, the Director of Panchayaths, looks into Exts.P4 and P5, as expeditiously as possible, and with reference to Exts.P1 to P3 orders. The request made by the petitioner shall necessarily be considered and appropriate orders may be passed in this regard, within a period of three weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment, after hearing the petitioner as well. The writ petition is disposed of accordingly. V. GIRI, JUDGE.
