Clerk in the Corporation of Cochin. She is aged 50 years. She is due for a promotion. Along with the promotion she is likely to be transferred also. According to the petitioner, the petitioner is a member of a scheduled caste and an immediate transfer would cause great prejudice to her insofar as it will effect the education of her children and dislocation of her family life. In the above circumstances, the petitioner has filed Ext.P1 representation before the 1st respondent. The petitioner seeks a direction to the 1st respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P1 as expeditiously as possible. Having heard the learned Government Pleader and the standing counsel for the Cochin Corporation, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the 1st respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P1 as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within a period of one month from the W.P.(C)No. 15340 of 2011 2 date of receipt of a certified copy of this judgment, after affording an opportunity of being heard to the petitioner.
