BEJOY CHANDRAN THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 02/04/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: V.GIRI, J ------------------- W.P.(C).9839/2008 -------------------- Dated this the 2nd day of April, 2008 JUDGMENT Petitioner, who is a Group Instructor currently posted in the ITI, Kannur, was posted at Kannur contemporaneous with his promotion effected under order dated 29.1.2008. He was working at the ITI, Kalamassery as a Senior Instructor, at the time of his promotion. 2. Petitioner had earlier approached this Court challenging his transfer to Kannur. According to him, there are vacancies at Kalamassery which can accommodate him. This Court by Ext.P1 judgment, directed the second respondent to take a decision on the petitioner's request. This resulted in Ext.P2. It is pointed out in Ext.P2 that if there are two vacancies at Kalamassery and if there is no claimant other than one Mr.O.M.Ravi (who is stated to be senior to the petitioner) and no other claimant holding any preferential claim, then the petitioner shall be accommodated in one of the W.P.(C).9839/2008 2 vacancies in ITI, Kalamassery. In my view, petitioner's request has been dealt with in a reasonable manner. Recording the above stand taken in Ext.P2, writ petition is closed. V.GIRI, Judge mrcs
