Justice Kurian Joseph, C.J.(Oral) The writ petition is filed with the following prayer: “(i) That respondents No.1 and 2 may kindly be directed to relieve the petitioner immediately in terms of the office roder dated 31.5.2010 (Annexure-P/2).” 2. The transfer order is dated 31.5.2010. There is no point in transferring an incumbent with the rider that he will be relieved only when the substitute joins duty unless it is seen that the substitute joins duty within a short period. In this case, the transfer order is of 31st May, 2010. Therefore, there will be a direction to the respondents to relieve the petitioner in terms of the transfer order dated 31.5.2010, within two weeks from the date of production of a copy of this judgment 2 alongwith a copy of the writ petition by the petitioner. 3. The writ petition stands disposed of, so also the pending application(s), if any. ( Justice Kurian Joseph) Chief Justice. November 15, 2010 (Justice V.K.Ahuja) (tilak/bss) Judge
