BY GOVT.PLEADAER SMT.SUDHA DEVI THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 4.9.2007, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: V.GIRI,J. ----------------------------------------- W.P.(C) NO.26311 of 2007 ----------------------------------------- Dated this the 4th day of August, 2007 JUDGMENT Petitioners, who are working as Junior Health Inspectors Grade I, are aggrieved by Ext.P1 order of general transfer. According to them, the norms formulated by the Government in the matter of transfer of Government servants are violated in so far as their transfer is concerned. Ext.P3 is an appeal which has been preferred by the first petitioner before the Director of Health Services on 29.6.2007. The same has not been considered so far, the petitioners contend. 2. I am not inclined to interfere with the order of transfer, especially, because it is stated to be a general transfer for the year 2007. If there is violation of the norms or any other factor which ought to engage the attention of Director of Health Services, it is open to the petitioners to represent before the said authority. 3. In the circumstances, the writ petition is disposed of directing the first respondent to look into Ext.P3 and any other representation which the second petitioner may submit in this regard before the first respondent within a period of two weeks from today. The first respondent may proceed to consider Ext.P3 and any other representation within a period of six weeks from today. V.GIRI, JUDGE css/ W.P.(C)26311/2007 :2 : W.P.(C)26311/2007 :2 :
