When options were invited, petitioner opted for Government Hospital, Kozhikode, W&C Hospital, Kozhikode and Taluk Headquarters Hospital, Koyilandi. By Ext.P1 order, petitioner was posted at Taluk Headquarters Hospital, Koyilandi and the 4th respondent was posted at the Government Hospital, Kozhikode, the first station opted by the petitioner. 2. According to the petitioner, while she is at Sl.No.69 in the seniority list, 4th respondent, who is at Sl.No.76, is far junior to her and therefore, she ought to have been transferred and posted at the Government Hospital, Kozhikode. However, it is seen that by orders of transfer, petitioner has already been transferred to the new station and the 4th respondent has also joined the new station. In such circumstances, it is only appropriate to direct consideration of Ext.P3 appeal which the petitioner has filed before the 1st respondent. W.P.(C).21174/10 2 3. Having regard to the above, I dispose of this writ petition directing the 1st respondent to consider Ext.P3 with notice to the petitioner and the 4th respondent and a decision on Ext.P3 shall be taken as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within six weeks of production of a copy of this judgment along with the copy of this writ petition.
