RAVIKUMAR, J. -------------------------------------------- W.P.(C). NO. 20290 OF 2010 -------------------------------------------- Dated this the 30th day of June, 2010 JUDGMENT The petitioner is working as Higher Secondary School Teacher (English) in D.B Higher Secondary School, Thiruvalla with effect from 1.9.1999. She was on leave without allowances for a period of five years from 15.6.2005 to 14.6.2010. She rejoined duty on 15.6.2010 after the expiry of the leave without allowances. The grievance of the petitioner is that after permitting her to rejoin duty, she was transferred as per Ext.P4 to D.B H.S.S Thakazhi. The contention of the petitioner is that such a transfer was effected only to accommodate the 8th respondent. Raising grievances against Ext.P4, the petitioner has preferred Ext.P7 petition before the first respondent. 2. Ext.P4 order of transfer was effected by the Manager of the school. According to the petitioner, it is an order passed under Rule 10 of Chapter XIV A of the Kerala Education Rules. But, the petitioner has preferred Ext.P7 revision petition before the government and it is still pending. Therefore, without making any observations as to the merits of the case including the maintainability of Ext.P7, this Writ Petition is W.P.(C) NO.20290/2010 2 disposed of with a direction to the first respondent to consider Ext.P7 revision petition and pass appropriate orders thereon expeditiously, at any rate, within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment with notice to the petitioner and respondents 4 and 8.
