SURENDRA MOHAN, J. ----------------------------------- W.P(c)No. 26894 of 2011 --------------------------------- Dated this the 12th day of October, 2011 JUDGMENT The petitioner is a Lady Health Inspector working at the Primary Health Centre, Pookkottor, Malappuram District. She is a native of Parampuzha in Kottayam District. She is a handicapped person. The petitioner has filed this Writ Petition aggrieved by the non-consideration of her request for a transfer to Kottayam District by the second respondent. Though Ext.P2 request was submitted by her, without considering the same Ext.P3 order of transfer has been issued wherein the petitioner's name does not find a place. The petitioner has therefore, filed an appeal, Ext.P4 before the first respondent. The petitioner seeks the issue of appropriate directions for consideration of her appeal on an early date. 2. I have heard the learned Government Pleader also. 3. In view of the fact that the petitioner's appeal is pending consideration of the first respondent, I do not think it necessary to consider the claim of the petitioner on the merits, at this stage. It is sufficient that this Writ Petition is disposed of W.P(c)No. 26894 of 2011 2 directing the consideration of Ext.P4. 4. This Writ Petition is accordingly disposed of directing the first respondent to consider the appeal filed by the petitioner evidenced herein by Ext.P4, in accordance with law and to pass appropriate orders thereon, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. sd/- K.
