THE DIRECTOR OF MEDICAL EDUCATION, THIRUVANANTHAPURAM. GOVT.PLEADER SRI.ANTONY MUKATH THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 25/05/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ================ W.P.(C) NO. 13252 OF 2010 (F) ===================== Dated this the 25th day of May, 2010 J U D G M E N T Petitioner is a Staff Nurse of the Health Services Department under the DHS. On abolition of Dual Control System, when options were invited, petitioner did not opt to come over to Medical Education Department. She apprehends that inspite of the fact that she did not opt for DME, she is likely to be transferred retaining his juniors under the DHS. Notification providing for options itself provide that if the employees opted are more than the required number, seniors among the optees will be transferred and that if the number opted is less than the required strength, the juniors will be transferred compulsorily. Therefore, as at present, I have no reason to think that the petitioner being the senior will be transferred retaining her juniors in violation of the provisions of the notification providing for options and transfers. Therefore, the writ petition is premature and is purely apprehensive and is closed without prejudice to the right of the WPC No. 13252/10 :2 : petitioner to approach this Court, if and when any adverse order is passed. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE Rp
