She has approached the respondents by a representation dated 23.01.2020 praying that she may be transferred from District Kanpur to District Lucknow as her younger brother aged about 14 years has suffered head injury impacting his mental condition and is under treatment at K.G.M.U., Lucknow. Her father is not alive and her mother is also old and there is no brother or other family members to look after her mother as well as her brother. Therefore, she alone has to look after them.
