BIJOY CHANDRAN THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 24/07/2007, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: K. BALAKRISHNAN NAIR, J. --------------------------------- W.P.(C) No.22630 of 2007-R --------------------------------- JUDGMENT The petitioner is a Nursing Assistant attached to the Taluk Head Quarters Hospital, Cherthala. By Ext.P1 order she has been transferred out to Palakkad district. It appears, the transfer is ordered in connection with the incident on 10.2.2007, in which one Smt.Khadeeja was trapped by the Vigilance Police and arrested. The petitioner submits, the complainant Mr.Vinod, who filed the said complaint against the said Khadeeja, has falsely implicated the petitioner also. Based on the said complaint, the transfer is ordered. Going by the transfer order, it would appear that the Government have issued instructions in the matter. So, the petitioner has preferred Ext.P2 representation before the Government, praying to cancel her transfer. 2. I heard the learned Government Pleader for the respondents also. Going by Ext.P1, apparently the transfer is ordered in public interest. Therefore, there is no justification for this Court to interfere with the same. But, having regard to the facts of the case, the WP(C) No.22630/2007 : 2 : 1st respondent is directed to consider and pass orders on Ext.P2, if the same is received and pending, in accordance with law within two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. The Writ Petition is disposed of as above. K. BALAKRISHNAN NAIR, JUDGE. 24th July, 2007. nm.
