In fact, she commenced her career under the Harbour Engineering Department as Peon on 4.2.2002 and continued there till 16.7.2009. Feeling that there would be no chance for getting promotion in the said department she has applied for an interdepartmental transfer. That is how she came to the Local Self Government Department. Latter, on coming to know that promotions are being effected by transfer from the last grade servants in Harbour Engineering Department, the petitioner has submitted Ext.P2 with a request to revert her back to the parent department. Ext.P2 representation carrying such a request is still pending consideration before the second respondent. In the said circumstances, without making any observation as to the merits of the contentions raised in this writ petition, it is disposed of with a direction to the second WPC.No.19943/2011 : 2 : respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P2 representation in accordance with law, expeditiously, at any rate, within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of copy of this judgment.
