A.J.VARGHESE THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 19/09/2008,THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: Kss ANTONY DOMINIC, J ----------------------------------------------------------- W.P.(C).No.27942/2008 ----------------------------------------------------------- Dated this the 19th day of September, 2008 JUDGMENT Petitioner submits that, she commenced service in 1993 and has been working in a GHSS Balla East since 1995 and that the 3rd respondent commenced service on 16.2.1995. However, according to her, by Ext.P1 order, retaining the 3rd respondent, who is junior to the petitioner, she has been transferred to GLPS, Padannakkad. According to the petitioner, if anybody is to be transferred, it is not the petitioner but the 3rd respondent should be transferred. The counsel for the petitioner now contend that pursuant to Ext.P1 she has joined in the transferred school. Ext.P2 representation filed before the 2nd respondent objecting the transfer is still pending consideration. In this writ petition what is sought for is a direction to the 2nd respondent to take up, consider and pass orders on Ext.P2. 2 2. Having regard to the fact as stated above, there is no reason to decline the limited relief sought for by the petitioner and I do not find any reason to put the 3rd respondent on notice before passing such an order. Accordingly the writ petition is disposed of directing that the 2nd respondent shall take up, consider and pass orders on Ext.P2, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within 6 weeks of production of a copy of the judgment. Before orders are passed, notice shall be given to the petitioner and the 3rd respondent also. Petitioner shall produce a copy of the judgment along with a copy of the writ petition before the 2nd respondent for compliance. ANTONY DOMINIC JUDGE vi. 3
