J U D G M E N T The petitioner is a physically handicapped person with a disability of 60%. The petitioner is also suffering from bone cancer. He has been transferred from Perinthalmanna Block Office to Mankada Block Office as per Ext.P4. The petitioner being a person who has been advised not to undertake long bus journeys and not to walk much, is put to a lot of hardship and agony by his present transfer to Mankada Block Office. Though the petitioner has joined at the place to which he has been transferred, he seeks a transfer back to some place near his home. The petitioner has therefore submitted a request for transfer to a convenient place. His request for transfer has been forwarded by the second respondent to the first respondent as evidenced by Exts.P5 and P6. The petitioner seeks the WP(C).No.31316/2011-L. 2 issue of a direction for the consideration and disposal of his request for transfer. 2. I have heard the learned Govt.Pleader also. 3. Having considered all the relevant aspects, I am of opinion that this writ petition can be disposed of directing the first respondent to consider the request for transfer submitted by the petitioner. 4. This writ petition is accordingly disposed of directing the first respondent to consider the request for transfer submitted by the petitioner, forwarded to him by Exts.P5 and P6, in accordance with law and in the light of Exts.P1 to P3 certificates and to pass appropriate orders thereon, as expeditiously as possible and at any rate within a period of three weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
