Siri Jagan, J. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= W.P(C) No. 660 of 2011 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Dated this, the 7th day of January, 2011. J U D G M E N T The petitioner is an employee of the Kerala State Electricity Board. He contracted an inter-caste marriage on 21.6.2010. According to the petitioner, on account of the marriage, the relatives are not in good terms with the petitioner and his wife and as a result, they have nobody to help them. The wife is presently pregnant also. The petitioner has now been posted on promotion from Ernakulam to Kasaragod by Ext. P4 order. The petitioner is aggrieved by the posting. According to the petitioner, in view of the particular circumstances, it is only appropriate that the petitioner is accommodated in a place at Ernakulam or nearby. 2. I have heard the learned standing counsel for the Board also. Having heard both sides, I dispose of this writ petition with the following directions: The petitioner shall file a representation seeking the relief of posting in and around Ernakulam within one week from today. The 2nd respondent shall consider the same as sympathetically as possible in view of the peculiar circumstances of the case and pass orders on the representation of the petitioner within 2 weeks from the date of receipt of the same. Till then, Ext. P4 order insofar as the petitioner is concerned shall not be implemented. Sd/- S. Siri Jagan, Judge. Tds/ [TRUE COPY] P.S TO JUDGE.
