J U D G M E N T This writ petition has been filed challenging Ext.P1 order of transfer. As per Ext.P1 the petitioner has been transferred from Primary Health Centre, Thalavoor in Kollam District and allotted to Alappuzha District. The contention of the petitioner is that his son is mentally retarded and therefore in the light of GO.No.33/93 (P&ARD) dated 18.6.1993 he is entitled to get a preferential consideration in the matter of transfer. Raising such claims, contentions and also grievances against Ext.P1 the petitioner has preferred Ext.P3 representation before the Director of Health Services. A perusal of Ext.P1 would reveal that it was issued by the Additional Director of Health Services. I am of the view that in case the petitioner is having any grievance against Ext.P1 he had to raise it before the first respondent. In the said circumstances the W.P(C) No.22290/2011-I. 2 petitioner will be at liberty to move the first respondent through a proper representation raising his claims, contentions and also grievances against Ext.P1. He may do so within ten days from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. In case the petitioner prefers such a representation within the stipulated time the same shall be considered by the first respondent expeditiously, at any rate, within six weeks from the date of receipt of such representation. Needless to say that person/persons likely to be affected shall also to be put on notice. C.T. RAVIKUMAR, (JUDGE) Kvs/-
