SANKARAN, J. ............................................................................ W.P.(C) No. 15799 OF 2008 ............................................................................ Dated this the 28th May, 2008 J U D G M E N T When the Writ Petition is taken up for admission today, the standing counsel took notice for respondent Nos. 2 and 3. In the manner in which I propose to dispose of this Writ Petition, it is not necessary to issue notice to respondent Nos. 1 and 4. 2. The petitioner, who is working as the Principal of the College of Applied Science, Peerumedu was transferred to the College of Applied Science, Kattappana as per Ext.P1 order dated 9th May, 2008. Ext.P1 order is under challenge in this Writ Petition. 3. The petitioner has submitted Ext. P3 representation to the Director of IHRD (third respondent) putting forward her grievances that her option was not considered at the time of passing the order of transfer. Learned counsel for the petitioner pointed out that Ext. P2 would reveal that the fourth respondent-Minu K.K., Principal, Technical Higher Secondary School, Thodupuzha is assigned the full additional charge of the CAS, Peerumedu for a period of three months. 4. These are all matters to be considered by the third respondent while disposing of Ext. P3. I do not find any ground to interfere with Ext. P1 at this stage. Let Ext.P3 be disposed of by the third respondent within a period of two weeks. The Writ Petition is accordingly disposed of directing the third respondent to consider and dispose of Ext. P3 representation, after taking note of the grievances put forward by the petitioner. Ext.P3 shall be disposed of by the third respondent within a W.P.(C) No. 15799 OF 2008 2 period of two weeks from today. Issue copy to the counsel for the petitioner as well as Standing Counsel for IHRD. K.T. SANKARAN, JUDGE. lk
