Apparently, he has not been given a posting so far. Ext.P11 shows that the request made by the petitioner as per Ext.P10 has been forwarded to the Director of Health Services. In circumstances where the petitioner is due to retire on 31.10.2007, it is appropriate that the petitioner is given a posting at least few days prior to his retirement. The writ petition is disposed of directing the second respondent to pass orders on Ext.P10 posting the petitioner in any suitable place on or before 25.10.2007. V. GIRI, JUDGE css/
