J U D G M E N T The petitioner is a Melsanthi at Alangattukavu Sreebadrakali temple. The petitioner has now been transferred to Thiruvaloor devaswom. According to the petitioner, the petitioner had earlier worked in Thiruvaloor. Therefore, as per norms, the petitioner is not due for transfer to Thiruvaloor. The petitioner has sought a transfer to Iravipuram. Detailing this grievance, the petitioner has filed Ext. P3 appeal before the 2nd respondent. The petitioner seeks a direction to the 2nd respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext. P3 expeditiously. Having heard the learned standing counsel for the Devaswom also, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the 2nd respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext. P3, after affording an opportunity of being heard to the petitioner and respondents 5, 6 and 7, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
