J U D G M E N T There is a dispute regarding the petitioner and the 4th respondent, who are employees of the Travancore Devaswom Board, with regard to their place of posting during general transfer. Against the original order of transfer, the 4th respondent filed an appeal, which was allowed to the detriment of the petitioner. The petitioner has now filed Ext. P4 appeal before the Board. The petitioner seeks a direction to the Board to consider and pass orders on Ext. P4 expeditiously. Having heard the learned standing counsel for the Devaswom Board also, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the 1st respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext. P4 appeal, after affording an opportunity of being heard to the petitioner as well as the 4th respondent, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. The petitioner shall produce a copy of the writ petition along with a certified copy of this judgment before the 1st respondent for compliance. Sd/- S. Siri Jagan, Judge. Tds/
