Though the transfer is one consequential upon his promotion as Head Constable, he submits that he was posted at Pallipuram only two months ago pursuant to the transfer from 51 battalion at Chattisgarh. The present transfer, after a period of two months, visits him with great personal difficulties which have been pointed out in Ext.P5. 2. I heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Standing Counsel for the respondents. I am convinced that the reasons pleaded by the petitioner in Ext.P5 merits sympathetic consideration by the competent authority. 3. In the result, writ petition is disposed of directing the second respondent to hear the petitioner on Ext.P5 and pass orders thereon dealing with his request for W.P.(C).19254/2008 2 retention in Pallipuram consequent upon his promotion. Such orders shall be passed within a period of one month from today. Transfer of the petitioner shall be given effect to only subject to the orders to be passed by the second respondent on Ext.P5.
