Apprehending lack of promotion avenues, the petitioner filed Ext.P6 application for inter-departmental transfer to the Department of Technical Education, within the district. The petitioner's grievance is that, Ext.P6 application although filed on 30.08.2010 has not been attended to yet. The learned Government Pleader on instructions submits that, there is a large number of similar applications and the respondents are not in a position to allow all such applications. He submits that, 67 similar applications have already been rejected and as such the petitioner's claim cannot be countenanced now. The 2nd respondent can consider all these aspects while disposing of Ext.P6 application. Therefore, this writ W.P.(C)No.36906 of 2010 -2- petition is disposed of with a direction to the 2nd respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P6 as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment, after affording an opportunity of being heard to the petitioner.
