J U D G M E N T The petitioner challenges Ext.P2 order by which he has been transferred from Ambalappuzha Devaswom to Koottungal Devaswom. Both the Devaswoms are under the jurisdiction of the Assistant Commissioner, Ambalappuzha Devaswom. So, the transfer is to a nearby place. That means, no serious prejudice is caused to the petitioner. 2. The respondents have filed a counter affidavit. It stated in the counter affidavit that the petitioner has been transferred in contemplation of disciplinary proceedings. This Court, under Article 226 of the Constitution of India can interfere with the transfer order, if it is shown to be illegal or vitiated by malafides. I find no such ground has been made out in this writ petition. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is dismissed. K.BALAKRISHNAN NAIR, JUDGE. MS
