He is a permanent native of Alappuzha District. Though he had submitted Ext.P2 request seeking a transfer to Alappuzha District on medical grounds supported by medical certificates evidenced herein by Exts.P3 and P3(a), he complains that his request was not considered. Instead, Ext.P4 transfer order has been issued wherein the request submitted by four of his juniors have already been granted. The petitioner has thereafter submitted Ext.P5 representation, again requesting that he may be posted to his home district. However, no orders have been passed thereon by the respondent, so far. It is submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioner that a number of vacancies are in existence in Alappuzha District at present, to one of which he could be granted a transfer. In view of the above, he seeks the issue of a direction for the expeditious disposal of Ext.P5. WPC No.25007/2011 2 2. Heard the learned Government Pleader also. 3.
