RAVIKUMAR, J - - - - - - - - - - - - -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - W.P.(C)No. 20658 OF 2011 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dated this the 28th day of July, 2011 J U D G M E N T The petitioner is working as Head nurse in Community Health Centre, Wandoor, Malappuram. This writ petition has been filed on being aggrieved by Ext.P3 order whereby she was placed under orders of transfer to Government Hospital, Manjeri. In fact, prior to the institution of this writ petition raising grievances against Ext.P3 the petitioner preferred Ext.P4 appeal before the second respondent. Ext.P4 appeal is still pending. In view of the facts that the petitioner has already preferred an appeal before the second respondent and it is still pending I do not think it necessary to consider the contentions on merits at this stage and therefore, it is unnecessary to issue notice to the 4th respondent at this stage. In the said circumstances, without making any observation as to the merits, this writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the second respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P4 expeditiously, at any rate, within a period of one month from the date of receipt of copy of this judgment with notice to the 4th respondent, as well.
