After repeated representations, the petitioner obtained Ext.P1 order of transfer, transferring the petitioner to Kundara 220 KV Sub Station. That order was issued on 31.12.2010. The petitioner's grievance in this writ petition is that the petitioner has not been relieved from Edamon to take charge in the transferred post as per Ext.P1. The petitioner, therefore, seeks the following relief:- “to issue a writ of mandamus or any other appropriate writ, direction or order directing the 2nd respondent to take effect Exhibit P1 order of transfer of the petitioner from 220 K.V. Sub Station, Edamon to 220 K.V. Sub Station, Kundara, forthwith, or at any rate within a time limit to be fixed by this Honourable Court, in the interest of justice; ” 2. I have heard the standing counsel for the Kerala State Electricity Board also. He does not dispute the fact that Ext.P1 order is still in force. In the above circumstances, this writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the respondents to see that the petitioner is relieved from Edamon to take charge in the transferred place as per Ext.P1, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within 2 weeks from the date of receipt of copy of this judgment.
