In the provisional list relating to the transfer of Junior Public Health Nurses within the state, there was no proposal to disturb the petitioner as such. But when Exhibit-P1 order was issued petitioner found that she has been transferred to the Primary Health Centre at Velur. Petitioner has submitted Exhibit-P3 representation seeking a variation of the same before the 2nd respondent and the same is pending consideration. She has pointed out the other stations wherein she could be accommodated in Exhibit-P2. 2. Learned counsel for the petitioner Sri. Gopinatha Menon submits that the person who has been posted in the place of petitioner at Mulamkunnathukavu is undergoing training and therefore W.P ( C) No. 16955 of 2008 2 there is no incumbent to discharge the functions at Mulamkunnathukavu even now. Apparently Smt.Geetha.K.K, who has been posted in the place of the petitioner had joined duty at Mulamkunnathukavu, but immediately she proceeded on leave. This aspect may also be considered by the 2nd respondent. In the result, the writ petition is disposed of directing the 2nd respondent to consider and pass orders on Exhibit- P3, within three weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. Petitioner shall be permitted to continue at Mulamkunnathukavu till a decision is taken by the District Medical Officer in this regard.
