JUDGMENT
The petitioner is working as a Pharmacist. As per Ext.P3
order, three persons who also belong to the same category have
been transferred and posted to stations which are shown against
their names in Ext.P3. The petitioner had submitted a request for
a posting in any one of the above places. Therefore, she has
challenged Ext.P3. She apprehends that by filling up the
vacancies in February 2007, her claim due to be considered at
the time of general transfers is likely to be frustrated.
2. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that this
Court may make it clear that the claim of the petitioner for
transfer to any one of the places shown in Ext.P3 shall not be
denied by the competent authority at the time of general
transfers and postings by referring to Ext.P3. The petitioner has
submitted an application in the prescribed proforma to consider
W.P.(C)No. 5477/2007 :2:
her case for general transfer.
2. Heard the Government Pleader for the respondents. None
appears for respondents 2 to 4 despite the service of notice.
3. In the above circumstances, I am inclined to dispose of
the writ petition directing the first respondent or the Director of
Health Services, as the case may be, to consider the case of the
petitioner for posting in any one of the places shown in Ext.P3 at
the time of general transfers. It is made clear that Ext.P3 order
shall not stand in the way of such consideration. Ordered
accordingly.
