SIRI JAGAN, J. ------------------------------------------- W.P.(C) No.15624 OF 2011 ---------------------------------------------- Dated this the 9th day of June, 2011 JUDGMENT The petitioner is working as a Junior Public Health Nurse at Primary Health Centre, Keezhallur in Kannur District. During general transfers this year the petitioner had been included in the draft list for transfer. Although the petitioner filed Ext.P1 objection and requested for permission to continue in the present station for one more year, by Ext.P3, the petitioner had been transferred to Community Health Centre, Iritty. According to the petitioner, this was done despite recommendation from the commanding officer of the petitioner's husband, who is a serving military personnel. Against the transfer, the petitioner has filed Ext.P4 representation before the 1st respondent. The petitioner seeks a direction to the 1st respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P4 expeditiously. Having heard the learned Government Pleader also, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the 1st respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P4, after affording an W.P.(C)No.15624/11 2 opportunity of being heard to the petitioner as well as respondents 3 and 4, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
