J U D G M E N T The petitioner is a Lab Technician Grade-I attached to the Primary Health Centre, Varapuzha. By Ext.P2 order she has been promoted as Junior Scientific Officer and posted to Palakkad. She is very happy with the promotion , but, unhappy with the posting given to Palakkad. She would prefer to continue at Ernakulam. But, a vacant post in Ernakulam has been filled up by posting another person from Kottayam. The petitioner has preferred Ext.P3 representation praying that she may be posted to Ernakulam as she is due to retire from service 31-10-2007. Thereafter, this writ petition is filed seeking a writ of mandamus to post her in Ernakulam District. The petitioner cannot normally any grievance as she has been posted on being promoted to a higher post. It is not a transfer simplicitor. Ext.P3 has been filed only on 28-5-2007. If it is received and pending, I am sure that, the second respondent will consider and pass orders on it, as expeditiously as possible as she is due to retire on 31-10-2007. WPC No.17307 of 2007 2 Subject to the above observation, the Writ Petition is dismissed. K.BALAKRISHNAN NAIR, JUDGE. MS
