TGS KURIAN JOSEPH J. ---------------------------------------------- W.P.(C) No.32175 of 2004 ---------------------------------------------- Dated 17th August, 2007. J U D G M E N T Petitioner approached this Court aggrieved by Ext.P4 order of transfer made on administrative ground, transferring the petitioner from Kattampak to Arunootimangalam. According to the petitioner, he being a handicapped person, he is entitled to have special consideration. Since the transfer made on administrative ground is for the year 2004, the matter certainly requires reconsideration in view of the present circumstances. I quash Ext.P4, without prejudice to the liberty to the competent authority to pass fresh orders, if necessary, taking note of the present circumstances. The writ petition is allowed as above.
