SIRI JAGAN, J. ------------------------------------ W.P.(C)No.38194 OF 2007 ---------------------------------------- Dated this the 4th day of January, 2008 JUDGMENT The petitioner is aggrieved by Ext.P1 order of transfer, whereby the petitioner has been transferred to another School at the fag end of the academic year and also that of her career. 2. Learned Government pleader submits that the transfer was necessitated since the petitioner's post became excess in accordance with the subject ratio prescribed under the Kerala Education Rules. The petitioner has already filed Ext.P2 representation before the Government in this matter. 3. In the above circumstances, I am not inclined to consider the matter on merits. Suffice it to direct the additional 3rd respondent to dispose of Ext.P2 expeditiously. Accordingly this writ petition is disposed of directing the additional 3rd respondent to consider and pass appropriate orders on Ext.P2 as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
