JUDGMENT Petitioner, an Assistant Engineer, who is presently at Moolamattom, Idukki, has been transferred and posted at Kottarakkara in Kollam District. This is on the petitioner’s request. Petitioner is aggrieved by the fact that no substitute is posted in his place, in spite of Ext.P2 order being passed on 7.8.2007. 2. Having heard learned standing counsel for the Electricity Board, I am of the view that since Ext.P2 order has been passed transferring the petitioner, there is no justification in not giving effect to the said transfer order for an unduly long period. 3. For the above reasons, I direct respondents 2 to 4 to see that the petitioner is relieved in terms of Ext.P2 order and given a posting in accordance with the transfer order as W.P.(C).NO.32502/07 :: 2 :: expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. Writ petition is disposed of as above. Sd/- (V.GIRI) JUDGE sk/ //true copy// P.S. To Judge
