RAVIKUMAR, J. -------------------------------------------- W.P.(C). NO. 14505 OF 2010 -------------------------------------------- Dated this the 11th day of May, 2010 JUDGMENT The petitioner is an Ophthalmic Assistant presently working in Taluk Headquarters Hospital, Changanassery. This Writ Petition has been filed challening Ext.P3 order to the extent it orders transfer of the petitioner from the present station to Elanjipra in Thrissur District. According to the petitioner, she is entitled to continue in the present station for a period of five years as she belongs to a Scheduled Caste. That apart, it is the petitioner's contention that she was arbitrarily picked up for transfer and several of her seniors and juniors are still continuing in Kottayam District. 2. Essentially, the grievance of the petitioner pertains to the violation of norms in Ext.P1 G.O. Grievances relating violation of norms in Ext.P1 G.O are matters which require consideration by the Government. The petitioner has already approached the Government by filing Ext.P4 representation. Therefore, without W.P.(C) NO.14505/2010 2 making any observation as to the merits of the contentions, this Writ Petition is disposed of with a direction to the first respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P4 representation submitted by the petitioner expeditiously, at any rate, within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
