SIRI JAGAN, J. --------------------------------- W.P.(C)No.34441 OF 2007 -------------------------------- Dated this the 22nd day of November, 2007 JUDGMENT The petitioner challenges Ext.P2 transfer order to the extent it gives transfer to the 3rd respondent in preference to the petitioner. The petitioner is now working as HSA (Maths) in Government HSS, Vallikkezhu, Kollam. The petitioner claims that she is senior to the 3rd respondent. She is residing at Kollam with her family. She sought a transfer to Government HSS for Boys, Kollam by application dated 9.3.2007. The 3rd respondent has also filed an application in which her 2nd preference was the station where the petitioner is now working and her 3rd preference is Government HSS for Boys, Kollam. Now the complaint of the petitioner is that the 3rd respondent has been preferred for transfer to Government HSS for Boys, Kollam, although she could have been accommodated at the station where the petitioner is working after giving transfer to the petitioner to Government HSS for Boys, Kollam. Detailing these grievances, the petitioner has filed Ext.P6 representation before W.P.(c)No.34441/07 2 the 2nd respondent. The petitioner seeks expeditious disposal of Ext.P6. 2. I have heard the learned Government pleader also. In the facts and circumstances of the case, there would be a direction to the 2nd respondent to consider and pass appropriate orders on Ext.P6, after affording an opportunity of being heard to the petitioner as well as the 3rd respondent as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. The writ petition is disposed of as above. S. SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE Acd W.P.(c)No.34441/07 3
