THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 09/01/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S. SIRI JAGAN, J. ------------------------------------ W.P.(C)No.38180 OF 2007 ---------------------------------------- Dated this the 9th day of January, 2008 JUDGMENT In respect of transfer of the petitioner from Chempazhanthy to Kozhikode, there was a litigation which ended in favour of the petitioner. Thereafter the Manager suspended the petitioner. This suspension was also successfully challenged by the petitioner. Thereafter consequent to orders of the Educational Authorities, the petitioner was reinstated by the 6th respondent, but was posted again at Kozhikode, the transfer to which place was earlier cancelled. Challenging this posting, the petitioner has filed Ext.P13 representation before the Director of Public Instruction. Although the petitioner challenges that transfer in the writ petition, for the present, she would be satisfied with a direction to the 2nd respondent – Director of Public Instruction, Thiruvananthapuram, to consider and pass appropriate orders on Ext.P13 expeditiously. 2. I have heard the learned Government pleader also. In the facts and circumstances of the case, I direct the 2nd W.P.(c)No.38180/07 2 respondent to consider and pass appropriate orders on Ext.P13, after affording an opportunity of being heard to the petitioner as well as the 6th respondent, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment provided the same has been received by the 2nd respondent. The writ petition is disposed of as above. S. SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE Acd W.P.(c)No.38180/07 3
