SURENDRA MOHAN, J. ------------------------------------------------------------ W.P(C) NO:30609 OF 2011 ----------------------------------------------------------- Dated this the 17th November, 2011. JUDGMENT The petitioners are Livestock Inspectors working at Kannur district. All of them are natives of Kollam district. However, they were posted to Kannur district on recruitment by the Kerala Public Service Commission (PSC for short) in 2003. Considering the length of their service in Kannur district from 2003 onwards the first respondent issued Ext.P1 order transferring the petitioners to their home districts. Though Ext.P1 order was issued on 7-8-2009 the petitioners complain that the order has not been given effect to. Consequently, they still continue to work in Kannur district. 2. The petitioners have submitted Ext.P2 representation which is pending before the first respondent. However, no orders have been passed thereon till date. The counsel for the petitioners seeks the issue of appropriate directions for the consideration of Ext.P2 representation. 3. In view of the limited relief claimed, I am of opinion that this writ petition can be disposed of directing the consideration of Ext.P2. WPC 30609/2011 2 4. This writ petition is accordingly disposed of directing the first respondent to consider the representation of the petitioners evidenced herein by Ext.P2 in accordance with law and to pass appropriate orders thereon, as expeditiously as possible and at any rate within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment, after affording an opportunity of being heard to the petitioners.
