Technology, Institute of Technology for Women at
Poojappura, Thiruvananthapuram, was placed under
suspension. The suspension was revoked and he was posted
at the LBS College of Engineering, Kasaragod, as

05.03.2023, the petitioner sought for posting him at
Thiruvananthapuram, in the Institute where he was
working. As per Ext.P12, the request was rejected. It is
thereupon that the petitioner has approached this Court.
2. The petitioner places reliance on the Medical
Certificates- Exts.P8 to P10 to justify his claim for a
posting at Thiruvananthapuram.
W.P.(C) No.8765 of 2023
3. After having heard the learned counsel on either
side, I am of the opinion that the first respondent may
consider the petitioner's request and pass necessary
orders after affording an opportunity of hearing to him
with reference to Exts.P8 and P10 medical certificates
and such other documents as may be produced by him.
Resultantly, without expressing anything on the
merits, the writ petition is disposed of directing the
respondents to consider the petitioner's request for
transfer and posting at Thiruvananthapuram, after
affording the petitioner an opportunity of hearing and
with due consideration to the medical certificates and
such other documents that may be made available by the
petitioner. The order shall be passed dehors Ext.P12.
Let orders be passed within a period of one month from
the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
