BY GOVERNMENT PLEADER MR.BIJOY CHANDRAN THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 28/02/2007, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: K.K.DENESAN, J. ------------------------------- W.P.(C) No.6285 of 2007 ------------------------------- Dated, this the 28th day of February, 2007 JUDGMENT The petitioner filed Ext.P10 representation before the second respondent requesting to transfer him from Primary Health Centre, Chooloor to Primary Health Centre, Kunnummal or Community Health Centre, Kuttyadi. The reason for making such a request as seen from Ext.P10 is that two of his brothers who are mentally retarded require his personal attention and it will be a solace if posting in a nearer place of his residential house is granted. 2. Counsel for the petitioner submits that one of the places pointed out by the petitioner where there was a vacancy has since been filled up by the second respondent and therefore the request in Ext.P10 in that respect has become infructuous. However, it will be possible for the second respondent to consider the case of the petitioner favourably against any subsequent vacancy taking note of the reason aforesaid. If the second respondent feels that the aforesaid reason is a genuine one, W.P.(C) No.6285/2007 2 necessarily the case of the petitioner shall be considered for transfer and posting against the next arising vacancy. Needless to say, that applications by others for posting in the same place also shall be considered. With the above observation the writ petition is disposed of.
