JUDGMENT The petitioner has filed this writ petition complaining that her request for a transfer to Thiruvananthapuram district has not been considered till date. According to the petitioner, she is a native of Thiruvananthapuram district. She has suffered maximum number of transfers during her career and was all along been posted outside her home district. At present she is working as a Child Development Officer. Though she had submitted Exts.P4 and P5 requests seeking a transfer to some place in Thiruvananthapuram district, she has been transferred as per Ext.P3 to Palakkad district. 2. I have heard the learned Govt. Pleader also. 3. He submits that since Ext.P5 request is pending before the second respondent, the same would be considered and disposed of in accordance with law. The counsel for the petitioner submits that two vacancies are due to arise in Thiruvananthapuram district during next month. Therefore, the counsel prays that the petitioner may be considered for being posted to one of the said vacancies. WPC 27917/2011 2 4. In view of the above, this writ petition is disposed of directing the second respondent to consider the request of the petitioner evidenced herein by Ext.P5 in accordance with law and to pass appropriate orders thereon as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
