RAVIKUMAR, J. -------------------------------------------- W.P.(C). NO.23501 OF 2011 -------------------------------------------- Dated this the 29th day of August, 2011 JUDGMENT The petitioner is working as Assistant Engineer in Public works Department. This Writ Petition has been filed challenging Ext.P3 order. As per Ext.P3, he was transfered and posted to National Highway Sub Division, Devikulam. The petitioner has raised various contentions including violation of transfer norms. I am of the view that in case the petitioner is aggrieved by Ext.P3 order of transfer, he has to raise such contentions before the third respondent. Therefore, this Writ Petition is disposed of granting liberty to the petitioner to prefer a representation raising his claims and grievances against Ext.P3 before the third respondent within a period of ten days from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. In case the petitioner prefers such a representation within the stipulated period, the same shall be looked into by the third respondent expeditiously, at any rate, within a period of one month from the date of receipt of such a representation. Needless to say that before passing orders thereon, the fourth respondent shall also be put on notice. (C.T. RAVIKUMAR, JUDGE) spc
