GOVT.PLEADER SRI.ARAVINDKUMAR BABU THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 25/05/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ================ W.P.(C) NO. 15895 OF 2010 (J) ===================== Dated this the 25th day of May, 2010 J U D G M E N T Ext.P2 order is under challenge. Petitioner, an Agricultural Officer, who was posted at Krishi Bhavan, Peravoor has been transferred and posted to Krishi Bhavan, Kanichar. Apart from the contention that the petitioner is almost in the end of his career and the allegation that transfer was based on political enemity, petitioner could not make out any malafides against the order of transfer. In so far as political enemity is concerned, no particulars are supplied in the writ petition nor has the petitioner impleaded anybody who is politically inimical to him. In such circumstances, the said plea also cannot be accepted. 2. In so far as the plea that he is at the end of his career is concerned, exclusion from transfer at the end of career, at best, is a matter of guideline, which if the exigencies justify, can be departed from. I am not persuaded to interfere. Writ petition fails and is dismissed. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE Rp
