MR.ANTONY KUMMATH, GOVERNMENT PLEADER THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 27/05/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ------------------------- W.P.(C.) No.9765 of 2010 (U) --------------------------------- Dated, this the 27th day of May, 2010 J U D G M E N T The petitioner is working as a Staff Nurse under the Directorate of Health Services. Being a native of Ernakulam district, she submitted an application for transfer to that district. The 2nd respondent forwarded her request to the 1st respondent under cover of Ext.P1. However, when transfers were ordered by Ext.P2, her request was not allowed. The petitioner now submits that subsequently there arose 17 vacancies in Ernakulam district, out of which 10% are to be allowed to inter district transfer quota. It is stated that her claim should be considered with reference to that 10% quota. 2. It is also pointed out that although by order dated 05/04/2010 this Court directed the 1st respondent to consider her claim, the petitioner's name has not been considered so far. It is in these circumstances, the case is brought up for hearing. 3. In the nature of the grievance as above, all what is WP(C) No.9765/2010 -2- required is that the 1st respondent should consider the request of the petitioner for inter district transfer to Ernakulam in the light of the guidelines governing the same against the vacancies which are sought to be in existence. 4. Having regard to the fact that the request is pending before the 1st respondent, it is directed that the 1st respondent shall consider the same and pass orders thereon. This shall be done as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within four weeks of production of a copy of this judgment. The petitioner shall produce a copy of this judgment before the 1st respondent for compliance. This writ petition is disposed of as above. Sd/- (ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE) jg //TRUE COPY// PA TO JUDGE.
