THE CHEIF EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR (VIGILANCE), KSRTC, THIRUVANANTHAPURAM. 3. THE DISTRICT TRANSPORT OFFICER, KSRTC, KOTTARAKKARA. 4. THE ASSISTANT TRANSPORT OFFICER, KSRTC, PUNALOOR. SC FOR KSRTC SRI. V.V.N. NAMBIAR THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 05/03/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. -------------------------------------------------- W.P.(C) NO.7126 OF 2010 (M) -------------------------------------------------- Dated this the 5th day of March, 2010 J U D G M E N T Petitioner is a driver in KSRTC . Challenge in this writ petition is against Ext.P9, an order transferring the petitioner from Kottayam to Kumali, which according to the counsel has since been modified and he is now posted at Kulathupuzha operating centre. Reason stated in Ext.P9 appears to be that the petitioner had entered the chamber of the Executive Director(V &A) on 15.2.2010 and misbehaved towards the said officer. 2. In my view, when transfer has been ordered as such on allegation, this court will not be justified in interfering with such an administrative action of the respondents. 3. Be that as it may, the learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner intends to file an appeal against Ext.P9 order. It is directed that if such an appeal is filed, the first respondent shall deal with the same as expeditiously as possible and at any rate within 4 weeks from the date of receipt of the same. Writ petition is disposed of as above. (ANTONY DOMINIC) JUDGE vi/ WPC.No. /09 :2 :
