ADV.K.S.ANIL, SC THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 10/03/2011, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S.SIRI JAGAN, J. ================== W.P.(C).No. 6865 of 2011 ================== Dated this the 10th day of March, 2011 J U D G M E N T The petitioner, who is a Senior Assistant of the Kerala State Electricity Board, is aggrieved by the alleged untimely transfer from from Kottarakkara to Manjeri. According to the petitioner, it is unjust to transfer the petitioner in the middle of the year, that too, when elections have been declared. 2. The learned standing counsel for the Electricity Board points out that this transfer is not all on a sudden, but, as is clear from Ext.P4, was only a correction of a mistake committed during the general transfer for 2010. It is also pointed out that the petitioner has been continuing at Kottarakkara from 2006 onwards. 3. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that as pointed out in I.A.No.3971/2011 there are still vacancies at Kottarakkara, where the petitioner can be accommodated. The petitioner has filed Ext.P6 representation in this regard. The petitioner presently confines his relief for a direction to the 3rd respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P6, expeditiously. 4. Having heard both sides, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the 3rd respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P6, after affording an opportunity of being heard to the petitioner, as w.p.c.6865/11 2 expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within one month from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this judgment, taking into account the averments in I.A.No.3971/2011 also. The petitioner shall forward copies of this writ petition and I.A.No.3971/2011 along with a certified copy of this judgment before the 3rd respondent for compliance.
