RAVIKUMAR, J. -------------------------------------------- W.P.(C). NO. 20093 OF 2010 -------------------------------------------- Dated this the 28th day of June, 2010 JUDGMENT The petitioner is presently working as Higher Secondary School Teacher (English) in GHSS Medical College Campus, Kozhikode. She is a native of Thiruvananthapuram district and her husband, who is a doctor, is presently working in Government Medical College Thiruvananthapuram. In the aforesaid circumstances, the petitioner has requested for a transfer to Thiruvananthapuram district based on seniority and claim for preferential rights. The grievance of the petitioner is that it was ignoring her seniority that some of her juniors were given transfer and posting at Thiruvananthapuram. Subsequently, the second respondent has issued Ext.P4 circular dated 11/06/2010. Pursuant to Ext.P4 circular, the petitioner has submitted Ext.P5 application for transfer. Ext.P6 is the provisional transfer list published pursuant to Ext.P4. As per Ext.P4, the second respondent has also called for objections against the proposal in Ext.P6. Thereupon, the petitioner has submitted Exts.P7 and P7(a) objections against the proposals in Ext.P6 provisional transfer list. The apprehension of the petitioner is that Ext.P6 would be finalised before W.P.(C) NO.20093/2010 2 considering Ext.P7 and P7(a). Evidently, as per Ext.P6, the second respondent has called for objections against provisional transfer list. The petitioner has submitted Exts.P7 and P7(a) objections in terms of Ext.P6. Therefore, the second respondent is bound to consider and pass orders on Exts.P7 and P7(a). In the said circumstances, this Writ Petition is disposed of with a direction to the second respondent to consider and pass orders on Exts.P7 and P7(a) submitted by the petitioner expeditiously, at any rate, before finalising Ext.P6 in case it has not already been finalised.
