TO JUDGE DMR/- K. SURENDRA MOHAN, J. ------------------------------------------------------------ W.P(C) NO: 28457 OF 2011 ----------------------------------------------------------- Dated this the 25th October, 2011. JUDGMENT The petitioner is a senior typist who has been transferred from Taluk Office, Kothamangalam to the office of the RDO, Muvattupuzha. According to the petitioner, she has got a 20 year old son who is suffering from mental retardation. He is not in a position to attend to his personal needs by himself and has a behavioral disorder of turning violent. Therefore though the place to which she has been transferred is not very far away, the present transfer causes a lot of inconvenience and hardship to the petitioner 2. According to the petitioner she is on leave but the fourth respondent has already taken charge. 3. It is the further case of the petitioner that there are already two vacancies available at Kothamangalam to which employees are engaged on daily wages. She therefore seeks the issue of a direction to consider her representation Ext.P4 and to retain her at the present station until Ext.P4 is finally disposed of. 4. I have heard the learned Govt. Pleader also. WPC 28457/2011 2 5. In view of the limited relief that is claimed, I am of the view that this writ petition itself can be disposed of without issuing notice to the respondents, directing the first respondent to consider and dispose of Ext.P4, expeditiously. 6. This writ petition is accordingly disposed of directing the first respondent to consider the grievances of the petitioner set out in Ext.P4 representation in accordance with law and to pass appropriate orders thereon, as expeditiously as possible and at any rate within a period of three weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. Until Ext.P4 is finally disposed of, the petitioner shall be retained at Kothamangalam. Sd/- K. SURENDRA MOHAN Judge jj P.S.to Judge WPC 28457/2011 3
