TO JUDGE tss S. Siri Jagan, J. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= W.P(C) No. 15990 of 2011 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Dated this, the 15th day of June, 2011. J U D G M E N T The petitioner is a Junior consultant in Ophthalmology. On the introduction of speciality cadre as per the amended Special Rules for Health Services, the petitioner is entitled to be posted in the speciality cadre. Originally, the petitioner was slated for transfer to General Hospital, Alappuzha. But, on account of a dispute raised by a person senior to her, she had to be transferred to Taluk Head Quarters Hospital, Pulinkunnu. Now, another vacancy has arisen in General Hospital, Alappuzha. The petitioner submits that despite her seniority, the 3rd respondent, who is much junior to the petitioner, has been preferred for transfer to General Hospital, Alappuzha. Therefore, the petitioner has filed Ext. P5 representation before the 2nd respondent. The petitioner seeks expeditious disposal of Ext. P5. Having heard the learned Government Pleader also, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the 2nd respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext. P5, after affording an opportunity of being heard to the petitioner as well as the 3rd respondent, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
