No. 19259 OF 2011 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dated this the 21st day of July, 2011 J U D G M E N T This writ petition has been filed on being aggrieved by Ext.P5 order whereby the petitioner was transferred and posted as Senior Lecturer in the Extension Training Centre, Kottarakara. Feeling aggrieved by Ext.P5 order, the petitioner has submitted Ext.P6 representation before the second respondent. The contention of the petitioner is that on account of the fact that he is due to retire from service on 31.3.2012, he is entitled to get the benefits of the norms under Exts.P7 and P8. Since the petitioner has already raised such contentions as also his grievances in Ext.P6, I am of the view that it is only appropriate for the second respondent to consider Ext.P6 and pass appropriate orders thereon. This shall be done expeditiously, at any rate, within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. In case no substitute has joined the post held by the petitioner prior to the issuance of Ext.P5, the petitioner shall be permitted to continue in the present station till order is passed on Ext.P6 representation and continuance thereafter, will depend upon the outcome of the said decision.
