The contention of the petitioner is that his name was not included in Ext.P2 provisional list. The petitioner assails the order of transfer on certain other grounds as well. According to him, he is due to retire from service within a period of three years. The 5th respondent, who is also working in the same department and senior to the petitioner, has already applied for a transfer to Kasaragod district. Therefore, according to the petitioner, acceptance of the request of the 5th respondent would avert the transfer of the petitioner from the present station. These are all matters to be considered by the competent authority. However, the petitioner has not so far moved the competent authority. Therefore, liberty is given to the petitioner to approach the 3rd respondent by filing a representation, raising all his grievances. In case such a representation is received by the competent authority within a period of two weeks from today, the same shall be considered and orders shall be passed thereon, WPC.12130/10 : 2 : within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. The writ petition is disposed of as above. Sd/- (C.T.RAVIKUMAR, JUDGE) aks // True Copy // P.A. To Judge
