GOVT.PLEADER SRI.ARAVINDKUMAR BABU THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 15/07/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ================ W.P.(C) NO. 22095 OF 2010 (J) ===================== Dated this the 15th day of July, 2010 J U D G M E N T Petitioner is a Head Clerk in the Regional Artificial Insemination Centre, Thodupuzha in Idukki District. She is a native of Kannur District. According to the petitioner, on account of the ill health of her husband, she has been representing for a transfer to Kannur District. It is stated that taking into account the above compassionate ground, Ext.P7 order was issued on 25/6/10 transferring the petitioner to Mundayad in Kannur District. However, on the next day, viz., 26/6/10, Ext.P8 order was issued cancelling Ext.P7, and by this order, petitioner has been posted to Regional Artificial Insemination Centre, Mannarghat and the 4th respondent is posted to Mundayad. Aggrieved by Ext.P8, she has filed Ext.P9 representation before the 1st respondent seeking posting at Mundayad as ordered by Ext.P7. Now counsel submits that the petitioner has joined Mannarghat in obedience to Ext.P8. 2. Prima facie, it would appear that Ext.P7 was ordered on compassionate grounds. This inference is strengthened by the fact that even prior to Ext.P7, on working arrangement basis, the WPC No. 22095/10 :2 : petitioner was permitted to remain in Kannur District. Therefore, petitioner appears to be having a grievance to be examined. 3. Having regard to the fact that Ext.P9 is pending before the 1st respondent, I direct the 1st respondent to consider Ext.P9 with notice to the petitioner and the 4th respondent and pass orders thereon. This shall be done, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within 8 weeks of production of a copy of this judgment along with a copy of this writ petition. Writ petition is disposed of as above. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE Rp
