It is the contention of the petitioner that she is a direct recruitee to Thrissur district and hence, a transfer to Palakkad district would entail the loss of seniority. That apart, it is the contention of the petitioner that there is no necessity of transferring the petitioner out of Thrissur district as sufficient number of vacancies are available in Thrissur district itself. Pointing out the aforesaid aspects, the petitioner has filed Ext.P4 representation before the 2nd respondent. As noticed hereinbefore, the specific contention of the petitioner is that at this stage five open vacancies are available in Thrissur district itself. This is a matter which requires consideration by the 2nd respondent. 2. Therefore, there will be a direction to the 2nd respondent to consider Ext.P4 and pass orders thereon, expeditiously, at any rate, within a period of two weeks from the WPC.10703/2010 : 2 : date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. In case vacancies are available and a substitute has not been joined in place of the petitioner, the petitioner shall be permitted to continue till an order has been passed in terms of the above direction. The writ petition is disposed of as above. Sd/- (C.T.RAVIKUMAR, JUDGE) aks // True Copy // P.A. To Judge
