No. 6804 OF 2010 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dated this the 3rd day of March 2010 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ J U D G M E N T The petitioner is a Tutor Technician (Optometry) in the Government Opthalmic Hospital, Medical College, Thiruvananthapuram. His grievance in this writ petition is that, despite his being the senior-most Tutor Technician in the hospital and despite the absence of any precedence for such matters, petitioner has been transferred from O.P. Division to the Squint clinic, for working in which department he does not have the required expertise. However, he would now be satisfied with a direction to the 1st respondent to consider Ext.P7 representation filed by him in this regard. 2. I have heard the learned Government Pleader also. 3. In the circumstances of the case, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the 1st respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P7, as expeditiously as W.P.(C). No. 6804 OF 2010 -2- possible, at any rate within one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this Judgment, after affording an opportunity of being heard to the petitioner. The petitioner shall produce a copy of this writ petition, along with a certified copy of this Judgment before the 1st respondent for compliance. S. SIRI JAGAN JUDGE nl.
