GOVERNMENT PLEADER SMT.ANU SIVARAMAN THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 25/02/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: T.R.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR, J -------------------------------------------------- W.P.(C) No.6107 of 2009 --------------------------------------------------- Dated this the 25th day of February, 2009 JUDGMENT The main prayer in the writ petition is for a direction to the first respondent to consider the case of the petitioner for a posting at Thrissur. The petitioner joined service as Lower Division Typist in a Revenue Department, Trichur District. She obtained a promotion as per Ext.P1 order as U.D.Typist under Rule 31 a(i) of KS & SSR and she was posted to Palakkad District. Subsequently, by order dated 21.1.2009 the first respondent transferred two U.D.Typists namely, Rajan C.S. and Saji Navas, from Palakkad to Thrissur. They are ranked as 1902 and 1903 respectively whereas the petitioner is having rank No.1904. Ext.P2 is the said order. 2. The objection raised by the petitioner is in relation to the retention of the fourth and fifth respondents in Thrissur. The respondents 4 and 5 are juniors to the petitioner. The fourth respondent was promoted from the post of L.D.Typist to U.D.Typist and he was retained in Thrissur itself. This is also clear from Ext.P2. The fifth respondent's seniority assigned as 1891(a) stands corrected as 1993(c) now. This is clear from Ext.P3. 3. Therefore, consequent to such correction he has to be demoted but no such orders have been passed so far, contends the petitioner. Hence the petitioner is not getting any posting in Thrissur. wpc: 6107 of 2009 2 Seeking for appropriate orders in the matter she has filed Ext.P1 representation before the first respondent. In the result, the writ petition is disposed of directing the first respondent to consider and pass orders after hearing the petitioner and respondents 4 and 5 within two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. If the petitioner wishes to file any additional representation that also can be made within three weeks from today. T.R.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR, JUDGE bps
