DENESAN, J. = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = W.P.(C) No. 4105 OF 2007 L = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = Dated this the 6th February, 2007 J U D G M E N T The petitioner is working as Non-medical Supervisor, Leprosy Control Unit, Anchal, Kollam. As per order passed on 9-1-2007 he stands transferred to Palakkad. He is a native of Kollam. Representation filed by the petitioner evidenced by Ext. P9 is pending with the 2nd respondent. For facts and circumstances stated in Ext. P9 he has made a request to repost him in Kollam District which is his native district. I am not reproducing the reasons stated by the petitioner so as to justify the request for re-transfer to Kollam because I have no reason to assume that the 2nd respondent will not look into the grievance of the petitioner. Counsel for the petitioner submits that one vacancy has already arisen in the post of Non- medical Supervisor and another vacancy is likely to arise soon in Kollam District, and therefore, the request made by the petitioner can be considered favourably. 2. Heard Govt. Pleader for respondents 1 and 2. WPC No.4105 /2007 -2- In the nature of the order I propose to pass, it is not necessary to issue notice to respondent No. 3. 3. The 2nd respondent is directed to consider Ext. P9, take appropriate decision as early as possible, at any rate, before the vacancies pointed out by the petitioner in Ext. P9 are filled up. Ext. P9 shall be disposed of within one month from the date of receipt of a copy of the judgment and the order communicated to the petitioner immediately. The petitioner shall produce a copy of the judgment and a copy of the writ petition before the 2nd respondent for information and necessary action. K.K. DENESAN JUDGE jan/
