He is now working in Ponnani Circle of Malappuram District. He has applied for transfer as per Ext. P4 pro forma showing the various places which he would like to choose for a posting. One of the places thus shown is Mobile Vigilance Squad, Kakkanad. Counsel for the petitioner submits that unless orders are passed by this Court, the petitioner's case may not be considered properly by the concerned respondent. 2. I have heard Govt. Pleader also. 3. In the circumstances, I am inclined to dispose of the writ petition by issuing appropriate directions to the respondent. The writ petition is disposed of directing the respondent to consider Ext. P4 along with other applications submitted by similarly situated Food Inspectors for general transfer, in 2007. Appropriate decision shall be taken at the time of the general transfers. I am not reproducing here the reasons given by the petitioner in Ext. P4, for, I have no reason to WPC No.3513 /2007 -2- assume that the concerned authority will not look into Ext. P4 and appropriate decision will not be taken. K.K. DENESAN JUDGE jan/
