J U D G M E N T The petitioner is an Agricultural Officer who is presently working at Sooranad in Kollam district. While she was working as an Agricultural Officer at Kilikolloor, she was mistakenly transferred along with one Smt.C.Preetha to Thrissur district. On realising the mistake, the first respondent cancelled the order of transfer of the petitioner and Smt.C.Preetha. According to the petitioner, on cancellation of her transfer, she is entitled to be posted at Krishi Bhavan, Kilikolloor. But the third respondent posted the petitioner to Krishi Bhavan Sooranad. The petitioner claims a posting to the original place to which she had earlier been posted. The petitioner places reliance on the fact that Smt.C.Preetha who had been mistakenly transferred along with her was reposted to WP(C).No.25747 /2011-P. 2 her original place of posting. She therefore seeks a similar treatment. 2. The petitioner has submitted Exts.P4 and P5 representations before the third respondent. She seeks the issue of a direction for considering her requests, expeditiously. 3. The learned Government Pleader submits that though Exts.P4 and P5 are pending before the third respondent, it is the second respondent who has to consider the requests of the petitioner. Therefore, it is submitted that a direction may be issued to the second respondent in this regard. 4. This writ petition is accordingly disposed of directing the second respondent to consider the request of the petitioner set out in Exts.P4 and P5 representations submitted to the third respondent, who shall forward them to the second respondent, and to pass appropriate orders thereon in accordance with law, as expeditiously as WP(C).No.25747 /2011-P. 3 possible, at any rate within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
