JUDGMENT The petitioner is working as District Lottery Officer, Palakkad. She belongs to Thrissur. She was transferred from Thrissur to Palakkad a few months ago. She has filed Ext.P3 representation addressed to the first respondent requesting to give her a posting in Thrissur as District Lottery Officer. It is submitted that she is due to retire from service by the end of this year and that it would be an act of indulgence on the part of the first respondent if he passes orders allowing the request made as per Ext.P3. 2. I have heard counsel for the petitioner and Govt. Pleader for the respondents. 3. I am inclined to dispose of the writ petition directing the first respondent to pass early orders on Ext.P3. Since the petitioner is due to retire from service within a few months, Ext.P3 shall be disposed of within one month from the date of receipt of a copy of the judgment. Ordered accordingly. The petitioner shall produce a copy of the judgment and copy of the writ petition before the first respondent for compliance. K.K.DENESAN Judge jj
