THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 18/02/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: C.T. RAVIKUMAR, J. -------------------------------------------- W.P.(C) NO. 5373 OF 2010 -------------------------------------------- Dated this the 18th day of February, 2010 JUDGMENT The petitioner is an Upper Division Clerk in the Forest and Wild Life Department, presently working in the office of the second respondent. This Writ Petition is filed with a prayer to issue a writ of mandamus commanding the first respondent to consider Ext.P5 representation and to grant the petitioner a transfer to Kollam in any of the vacancies that may arise from 31.3.2010. The case of the petitioner is that in the light of Ext.P2 judgment dated 5.8.2009 in W.P.(C) No.21831 of 2009 and Ext.P3 representation, Ext.P5 should have been considered favourably by the respondents. The grievance of the petitioner is that so far no orders have been passed on Ext.P5 representation. 2. Admittedly, general transfers in the Department are to be effected shortly. Therefore, it will only be appropriate for the respondents to consider the request of the petitioner at the time of considering the general transfer of employees in the category of Upper Division Clerks in the W.P.(C) NO. 5373/2010 2 Department. The petitioner may file an application for considering her request for transfer during the general transfer, within the prescribed time. The Writ Petition is disposed of as above. (C.T.
