Appellant is the petitioner. He approached this court aggrieved by Ext.P1 order of transfer passed by the District Transport Officer. The learned single Judge dismissed the writ petition holding that the transfer appears to be on administrative grounds. According to the petitioner there is no exigency of service warranting such a transfer. Since the transfer order is only by the District Transport Officer it is for the petitioner to file an appropriate representation before the first respondent. Petitioner seeks such an opportunity. Therefore, we set aside the judgment of the learned single Judge and dispose of the writ petition permitting the petitioner to file an appropriate representation before the first respondent. In the event of an appropriate representation being filed before the first respondent W.A.No.2922 of 2009 -:2:- within a period of one month from today, the same shall be disposed of within another one month. The writ appeal is disposed of as above. (KURIAN JOSEPH, JUDGE) (C.T.RAVIKUMAR, JUDGE) ahg.
