J U D G M E N T The petitioner is working as a Cashier, in the service of the Kerala State Electricity Board (KSEB for short) at Beypore Electrical Section, Kozhikode. Since the petitioner is a native of Alappuzha, he had sought for a transfer to his native place. While so, as per Ext.P1 order, the petitioner has been transferred to the Electrical Circle, Alappuzha. Though the order is dated 11.7.2011 the same has not been implemented by the respondents. Therefore, he has filed this writ petition. 2. The learned Standing Counsel for KSEB, on instructions, submits that since the petitioner is working as a Cashier, there was some difficulty in relieving him in view of Note 3 to Ext.P1 which stipulates that the transfer is effected without affecting cash collection. It is submitted WP(C).No.25333/2011-N. 2 that there is a dearth of Cashiers in the KSEB and the difficulty in finding a substitute for the petitioner, is the reason for the delay in giving effect to Ext.P1 order of transfer. However, he assures that the transfer order would be implemented within an outer limit of four months. 3. In view of the above submission this writ petition is disposed of directing the respondents to implement Ext.P1 order of transfer as expeditiously as possible and at any rate within a period of four months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
