THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 19/02/2007, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: K.K.DENESAN, J. ========================= WP(C).No.5393 OF 2007-P. ========================= Dated this the 19th day of February, 2007. J U D G M E N T Ext.P11 representation filed by the petitioners is pending with the 1st respondent. The grievance arises consequent to Ext.P10 order of transfer issued by the 2nd respondent on 3-2-2007. As per Ext.P10 as many as 42 Health Inspectors were transferred and they have been allotted to the District Medical Offices of Health noted against their names. The petitioners point out that the request made by respondents 6 to 11 have been favourably considered for a posting of their choice discarding the seniority of the petitioners. Counsel for the petitioners brings to my notice Ext.P9 communication wherein the 2nd respondent had promised that the request for transfers and postings will be considered strictly according to the seniority. 2. Heard Government Pleader for respondents 1 to 5. In the nature of the order I propose to pass notice need not be sent to respondents 6 to 11, as far as this writ petition is concerned. 3. There shall be an order directing the 1st WP(C).No.5393 of 2007. 2 respondent to issue notice to the petitioners and respondents 6 to 11, consider Ext.P11 and pass appropriate orders within two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. The petitioners shall produce a copy of the judgment together with a copy of the writ petition before the 1st respondent for compliance. The writ petition is disposed of as above.
