Petitioner points out that in so far as the transfers and postings in the Police Department are concerned, incumbents are entitled to give three options and the same is governed by G.O.(MS). No.140/88/Home dated 10.11.1988. Petitioner has opted for Trichur District. 2. Second respondent has also opted for Trichur District. According to the petitioner, she has made an unsustainable claim. She claims that she is a party to an intercaste marriage. Learned counsel for the petitioner Mr. N.Sugathan submits that the second respondent belongs to Syrian Catholic Community and her husband belongs to Anglo Indian Community. No question of intercaste marriage arises in the context. But the claim made by the second respondent for consideration of her request for a posting in Trichur District, along with her W.P.(C).10807/2008 2 husband, was directed to be considered under Ext.P8 judgment. Ext.P6 is a representation made in this regard by the second respondent. 3. Petitioner submits that the claim made by the second respondent in Ext.P6 is unsustainable. Petitioner has preferred Ext.P7 objection thereto. The limited prayer is for a direction to the first respondent to hear the petitioner also before taking a decision on Ext.P6. 4. I heard learned Government Pleader also. 5. Having perused the averments in the writ petition as also Ext.P7, writ petition is disposed of directing the first respondent to consider Ext.P7 objection, after hearing the petitioner also in the course of the decision to be taken on Ext.P6 as already directed in Ext.P8 judgment. Petitioner shall produce a copy of the writ petition also along with the copy of the judgment. V.GIRI, Judge mrcs
