W.P.(C). No.34038 of 2025
--------------------------------------------
Dated this the 16th day of September, 2025
JUDGMENT
The petitioners are challenging orders of transfer issued as
per Ext.P1. Petitioners were all working as Headload Workers in the
FCI Kazhakkoottam Depot and they have been transferred to
Angamaly Depot. They have preferred Exts.P3 to P20
representations seeking re-transfer pointing out their difficulties and
pray for an early disposal of the same.
In view of the limited prayer made, this writ petition is
disposed of directing the 3rd respondent to consider and pass orders
on Exts.P3 to P20 representations, after hearing the petitioners or
their representative, at the earliest, at any rate within one month
from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
