About mutual transfer

I am a doctor. Iwas working in a govt medical college on contractual basis. While i was on my maternity leave i was been regularised and posted in a medical college in a different city away from my home despite of having many vacant post in the hospital where i was previously working. I have a 6 month old baby and it is very inconvinient for me to live in a new city alone with my young kid.I have found another doctor working in the same post as mine willing to do mutual transfer with me. I want to go my home town where she is working at present and she wants to come to my place in the same state. We have applied for mutual transfer 3 months ago but the govt is taking to action . There are neither rejecting nor accepting just they keep on delaying the matter for years giving no reply. Is there any rule that mutual transfer should be given by the govt. And is there any time period within which mutual transfer should be given because if they transfer me after 2 years it will not be acceptable for me as i might get settled in this new city by that time.
