By Ext.P4 order he has been transferred from Niranom and posted to Kollam. According to the petitioner, his first option was for Kozhencherry and it is overlooking his option, he has been posted to Kollam. 2. Learned Government Pleader has obtained instructions in the matter. According to the learned Government Pleader, though the petitioner had opted for Kozhencherry as stated in the writ petition, since there is no infrastructural facility to post a consultant in his specialty he was not posted. It is stated that as soon as infrastructural facilities are provided in the District Hospital Kozhencherry, petitioner's option will be considered and suitable orders will be passed in the matter. 3. In my view the undertaking given by the Government Pleader will regress the grievance of the petitioner. Therefore recording the submission of the Government Pleader the writ petition is closed.
