RESPONDENT'S EXHIBITS: NIL // TRUE COPY // Rs/ V.GIRI, J. ------------------------- W.P.(C).No.13645 of 2008 Y ------------------------- Dated this the 30th day of June, 2008. JUDGMENT The petitioner challenges Ext.P5 order of transfer, by which he has been transferred from Thiruvananthapuram to Punnayur. The petitioner is a Deputy Manager in the State Bank of India, who was promoted from MM Grade II to MM Grade III. This has entailed a transfer. This court had required the bank authorities to consider whether the petitioner could be accommodated in Thiruvananthapuram until he is in a position to travel, taking note of the fact that he had met with an accident and was under treatment for the fracture. Apparently, taking note of this order passed by this court, the Chief General Manager, has passed an order, which reads as follows: “However, considering the spirit of the order passed by the Hon'ble Court, the petitioner may be temporarily parked in a supernumerary post in the Administrative Wing I, Local Head Office Annex, Trivandrum till 15th July, 2008, if he is fit to report for duty. This is only a temporary arrangement, made without prejudice to the contentions raised by the Bank in the above Writ Petition. We would not be W.P.(C).NO.13645/08 :: 2 :: considering further extension of time beyond 15th July, 2008. It is also made clear that the petitioner shall not be entitled to any deputation, halting or any other allowance in this regard.” 2. In the circumstances, I do not think that there is any further grievance to be addressed in this writ petition. Accordingly, the respondents are directed to permit the petitioner to continue in Thiruvananthapuram till 15.07.2008. The order of transfer can be given effect to, subsequent thereto. But, I make it clear that this direction will not stand in the way of the petitioner in moving for variation of the order of transfer, availing suitable remedies in terms of the Regulations applicable to the managerial staff of the bank. Subject to the above, the writ petition is disposed of. Sd/- (V.GIRI) JUDGE sk/ //true copy//
