This writ petition has been filed challenging Ext.P2 order of transfer. As per Ext.P2 the petitioner has been transferred from Muvattupuzha and alloted to Thrissur District. The contention of the petitioner is that her mother is a heptagenarian afflicted with mental disorder. Apart from the petitioner there is none at home to take care of the aged and ailing mother, it is contended. Pointing out all those facts the petitioner has preferred Ext.P4 appeal against Ext.P2. It is still pending. It is submitted that, so far, no one is posted as her substitute to Valakam. The averments made in this writ petition would reveal that she commenced her service in Malappuram District and thereafter got inter district transfer and joined in Ernakulam District in 1996. She is yet to complete three years period since joining in the present station on getting promotion. WPC.No.22475/2011 : 2 : 2. I have heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and also the learned Government Pleader. Evidently, raising such grievances against Ext.P2 the petitioner has already approached the first respondent through Ext.P4 representation. As already noticed hereinbefore, the main contention of the petitioner is that her aged mother having psychiatric complaints and there is none available in her home to look after the aged mother. The petitioner has already taken such contentions and grievances in Ext.P4. I am of the view that those matters require consideration by the first respondent. In that view of the matter, this writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the first respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P4, expeditiously, at any rate, within a period of one month from the date of receipt of copy of this judgment. In case, no person is posted against the post held by the petitioner, the petitioner shall be permitted to continue in the present station itself till a decision is taken and communicated. Sd/- (C.T.
