J U D G M E N T
The petitioner is working as a Revenue Inspector in
Attingal Municipality. Pursuant to the application for transfer,
he was included in Ext.P2 draft list for transfer to Cochin
Corporation. However, to his dejection, his name was deleted
from Ext.P3 final list. Aggrieved by the said deletion and the
consequential denial to transfer him based on Ext.P1
application, the petitioner has submitted Ext.P4
representation before the first respondent. According to the
petitioner his domestic atmosphere is such that his presence
in Ernakulam District is highly necessary. He has raised all
these contentions in Ext.P4 representation. Transfer on
compassionate grounds is a matter that lies within the
jurisdiction of the first respondent and therefore, the first
respondent is directed to consider and pass orders on Ext.P4
representation, expeditiously, at any rate, within a period of
seven weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this
judgment.
