J U D G M E N T
The petitioner is a Staff Nurse under the Health and
Family Welfare Department. This writ petition has been filed
challenging Ext.P2 to the extent it orders transfer of the petitioner
from Thrissur to Malappuram District. The contention of the
petitioner is that a transfer from Thrissur District to Malappuram
would entail loss of seniority as she being a direct recruit to
Thrissur District. Further it is contended that on account of
availability of open vacancies in Thrissur District in the category of
Staff Nurse there is absolutely no necessity to transfer the
petitioner out of Thrissur District. Raising such claims and
contentions the petitioner has preferred Ext.P4 representation
before the second respondent.
2. The second respondent is competent to look into the
grievances raised by the petitioner as per Ext.P4. As the petitioner
is a direct recruit to Thrissur District it will only be appropriate to
accommodate her in Thrissur District itself in case open vacancies
are available. Therefore, the second respondent is directed to
consider and pass orders on Ext.P4 expeditiously, at any rate
WPC.No.10527 of 2010

copy of this judgment.
This Writ Petition is disposed of accordingly.
