RESPONDENT'S EXHIBITS - NIL //TRUE COPY// P.S. TO JUDGE Mn C.T.RAVIKUMAR, J. --------------------------------------- W.P(C)No.22472 of 2011 ---------------------------------------- Dated 18th August, 2011 JUDGMENT This writ petition has been filed challenging Ext.P2 order of transfer. As per Ext.P2, the petitioner who is working at Primary Health Centre, Thrikkakkara, Ernakulam District has been alloted to District Medical Office of Health, Thrissur District. The contention of the petitioner is that earlier he had worked for about five years in Malappuram District and thereafter worked for about six months in Idukki District. In short, the contention of the petitioner is that he came to the present station only during July, 2009 and therefore, he is entitled to continue there for a period of three years. I am of the view that in case the petitioner is aggrieved by Ext.P2 order dated 11.8.2011 he has to approach the Government raising his grievances, claims and contentions. In fact, the petitioner has already approached the Government through Ext.P3 representation. Since the petitioner has already approached the first respondent through Ext.P3 and it is still pending before the first respondent, this writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the first respondent to consider and pass appropriate orders on Ext.P3 expeditiously, at any rate, within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. WP(C).No.22472/2011 2 Needless to say that any person/persons likely to be affected shall also be put on notice before passing orders on Ext.P3. Sd/- C.T.RAVIKUMAR Judge TKS
