BY MR.ARAVIND KUMAR BABU, GOVERNMENT PLEADER THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 06/04/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: C.T.RAVIKUMAR, J. ---------------------- W.P.(C) No.9767 of 2010 --------------------------------- Dated this the 6th day of April 2010 J U D G M E N T The petitioner is a Block Development Officer. He has submitted an application for getting transfer during 2010, general transfer. He has raised his grievances in Ext.P10 representation before the 2nd respondent. According to the petitioner, in view of the reasons given in Ext.P10, he is entitled to get a posting in any of the places of his choice. A statement has been filed on behalf of the 2nd respondent in this writ petition. According to the 2nd respondent, in the places of choice of the petitioner, there are senior claimants and therefore, the request of the petitioner for a posting in those places cannot be considered favourably. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that since Ext.P10 representation is pending before the 2nd respondent, the 2nd respondent may be directed to consider the same and to grant a favourable posting at least in or near W.P.(C) No.9767 of 2010 -2- Thiruvananthapuram District. I think it is a matter for the 2nd respondent to consider. Hence this writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the 2nd respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P2 in the light of Ext.P10 expeditiously, at any rate, within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
