SURENDRA MOHAN, J. ------------------------------------------------------------ W.P(C) NO: 31342 OF 2011 ----------------------------------------------------------- Dated this the 3rd December, 2011. JUDGMENT The petitioner has filed this writ petition challenging his transfer from Excise Range Office, Muvattupuzha to the Excise Check Post, Azhiyur near Mahe in Kozhikode district. This writ petition was admitted on 24-11-2011 and an interim order directing the petitioner to be retained at his present place of posting at Muvattupuzha has been issued. 2. The Govt. Pleader on instructions submits that the petitioner had been transferred only to accommodate one Thomas Paul whose date of birth was erroneously taken to be 1-9-1956. On verification it was found that his actual date of birth is 9-1-1956 and that he had retired on 31-3-2011 itself. Consequently, the necessity to transfer the petitioner no longer exists. Therefore, orders would be issued retaining the petitioner at the Excise Range Office, Muvattupuzha. 3. In view of the above submissions, no further orders are necessary to be issued in this writ petition. This writ petition is WPC 31342/2011 2 accordingly closed recording the above submissions of the learned Govt. Pleader. Sd/- K. SURENDRA MOHAN Judge jj P.S.to Judge
