MR.ARAVIND KUMAR BABU, GOVERNMENT PLEADER THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 18/05/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ------------------------- W.P.(C.) No.15081 of 2010 (I) --------------------------------- Dated, this the 18th day of May, 2010 J U D G M E N T The petitioner was promoted as Junior Superintendent and was posted to Meenachil Grama Panchayat as per Ext.P1 order. By Ext.P2 order, he has been transferred to Nedumkandam Grama Panchayat treating himself as the junior most. According to the petitioner, the Meenachil Panchayat itself passed Ext.P4 resolution objecting to Ext.P2. The petitioner has also submitted Ext.P7 representation seeking review of Ext.P2. These are pending before the 2nd respondent. According to the petitioner, the 4th respondent also has sought cancellation of the transfer. Although, I do not find any invalidity in the transfer order as such, still having regard to the pendency of Exts.P4 & P7 before the 2nd respondent, it is directed that the 2nd respondent shall consider the same. This shall be done as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within four weeks of production of a copy of this judgment, along with a copy of this writ petition. This writ petition is disposed of as above. (ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE) jg
