Petitioner submits that, he is suffering from a serious case of disc prolapse, which would effectively prevent him from climbing stairs. At Chengannoor Railway Station, petitioner has to climb 27 steps each on both sides in the sub way of the Station in the course of his duties, which would aggregate his disease. Despite representations made by the petitioner for a transfer to Kollam the same has been rejected by Ext.P9. Petitioner has therefore filed Ext.P11 representation before the 2nd respondent. Petitioner seeks a direction to the 2nd respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P11 as expeditiously as possible. I have heard the learned standing counsel appearing for the Railways also. Having heard both sides, I dispose of W.P.(C)No.33058 of 2010 -2- this writ petition with a direction to the 2nd respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P11 as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment, after affording an opportunity of being heard to the petitioner.
