Later he was deployed to Local Self Government Department on 15.09.06. The contention of the petitioner is that during November 2008, he had a major cardiac problem and thereafter he was admitted to Amritha Institute of Medical Science and he had strict instructions not to undertake long and arduous journey. In view of his physical condition, he approached the authorities with requests to re-deploy him to the PWD. With that prayer, he approached the 2nd respondent as per Ext.P3 representation. But, so far no action has been taken on Ext.P3. 2. Whether physical condition of the petitioner requires a consideration with compassion and whether he can be repatriated to his parent department are matters which require consideration by the competent authorities. Now that the petitioner has already approached the 2nd respondent by filing Ext.P3, it will be W.P.(C)No. 5792 OF 2010 -:2:- only in the interest of justice that the same shall be looked into by the 2nd respondent. Therefore, there shall be a direction to the 2nd respondent to consider Ext.P3 representation expeditiously and pass orders thereon, on or before 30.03.10. The Writ Petition is disposed of as above.
