At present, he is working as Building Inspector in the Nedumangad Municipality. He was appointed there only on 17.07.2006. Immediately thereafter, he started representing that he may be posted to Varkala or Thiruvananthapuram. When Ext.P6 transfer order was passed, the petitioner's claim was not considered. Hence this Writ Petition, challenging Ext.P6 to the extent, he is not transferred by that order. Presently, the petitioner is working in a place in Thiruvananthapuram district. So, no serious prejudice is caused to him, if he is not transferred to Varkala or Thiruvananthapuram. Further, he has not completed his normal tenure at Nedumangad. Therefore, I find no reason to entertain this Writ Petition. Accordingly, it is dismissed. 29.05.2007 K.BALAKRISHNAN NAIR,JUDGE sta 2
