No.22001 OF 2011 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dated this the 12th day of August, 2011 J U D G M E N T The petitioner is presently working as Assistant Executive Engineer under the Kerala Water Authority at its Project Division, Kollam. As per Ext.P1, the petitioner was ordered to be transferred from Project Division, Kollam to PH Sub Division, Pathanamthitta. Feeling aggrieved by the said order, the petitioner has submitted Ext.P2 representation before the third respondent. It is still pending. 2. I have heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and also the learned standing counsel appearing for the Kerala Water Authority. Evidently, the petitioner has already taken up his grievances against Ext.P1 before the third respondent through Ext.P2 representation. Since the said representation is pending, without making any observation as to the merits of the contentions raised by the petitioner, this Writ Petition is disposed of with a direction to the third respondent to consider Ext.P2 and take a decision thereon expeditiously, at any rate, within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment taking into account the fact that the petitioner is left with hardly eight months to retire from service. W.P.(C).No.22001 of 2011 2 Needless to say that person/persons likely to be affected shall also be put on notice prior to the disposal of Ext.P2 representation. C.T. RAVIKUMAR, JUDGE spc
