The petitioner, who was a constable with the Central Industrial Security Force, working at the unit in the Liquid Propulsion Systems Centre at Valiamala, Thiruvananthapuram, is aggrieved by Ext.P7 order of transfer, transferring him from the present station to a unit in Andhra Pradesh. The case of the petitioner is that his brother is a mental patient who is solely dependent on the petitioner, and if he is transferred pursuant to Ext.P7 order, it will seriously affect the treatment that his brother is presently undergoing in connection with his ailment. The petitioner would rely on Exts.P4 and P5 Office Memoranda dealing with interstate transfers which mandate that, where a dependent family member of a personnel is suffering from a major disease, their case would be considered for a transfer to a suitable location taking into account the medical facilities available at that location. It is pointed out that highlighting his grievance, Ext.P6 representation has been preferred before the 1st respondent. The limited prayer of the petitioner in the writ petition is for a direction to the 1st respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P6 representation within a stipulated time frame and to keep in abeyance
