He has submitted Ext.P1 representation requesting for a transfer and posting at Angamaly. The contention of the petitioner is that at Angamaly though there are two posts of Draftsman Grade II they are being presently occupied by Draftsman Grade I . Despite the said position, the respondents are not considering Ext.P1 application. It is in the said circumstances, raising grievances against the non- consideration of Ext.P1 that this writ petition has been filed. 2. I have heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and also the learned Standing Counsel for the respondents. The learned Standing Counsel submits that the competent authority, the first respondent would consider Ext.P1 representation submitted by the petitioner. In view of the said submission, this writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the first respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P1 WPC.18953/2011 : 2 : expeditiously, at any rate, within a period of one month from the date of receipt of copy of this judgment. Needless to say that before passing orders on Ext.P1 representation the persons who are presently occupying the post of Draftsman Grade II, in Angamaly, shall also be put on notice. Sd/- (C.T.
