(C) NO. 32621 OF 2010 ---------------------------------------- Dated this the 27th day of October, 2010. JUDGMENT The petitioner is working as an Assistant Registrar in the Department of Co-operative Societies in the office of the joint Registrar(G) Kalpatta, Wayanad. According to the petitioner, petitioner is suffering from serious disease, as a result he lost his speech. He had to undergo a vocal cord surgery to regain speech. Petitioner submits that the extreme climatic condition at Wayanad has aggravated his health condition. So he filed Ext.P1 request dated 29.12.2009 for transfer during the general transfer. But he was not favoured with a transfer. While so, he fell down from a height of 300 metres suffering multiple fracture, in the course of his official duties. Therefore he again filed Ext.P2 representation on 30.9.2009. Petitioner seeks a direction to consider his request for transfer to Malappuram, where according to the petitioner there are 3 open vacancies, sympathetically. 2. I have heard learned Government Pleader also. I am of opinion that Government Officers are also bound to consider service matters of their Subordinate Officers W.P. (C) NO. 32621 OF 2010 2 sympathetically at least occasionally. I am of opinion that the petitioner's is clearly a case deserving sympathy and the respondent ought to consider the petitioners request for transfer to Malappuram with the sympathy he deserves. Accordingly, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the respondents to consider Ext.P2 representation filed by the petitioner in tune with the above observations as expeditiously and as sympathetically as possible, at any rate, within one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
