TO JUDGE VK C.T.RAVIKUMAR, J. --------------------------------------- W.P(C)No.17995 of 2011 ---------------------------------------- Dated 3rd August, 2011 JUDGMENT This writ petition has been filed challenging Ext.P7 whereby the petitioner who is working as Upper Division Clerk in Puthige Grama Panchayat in Kasaragod District is transferred to Badiadka Grama Panchayt in Kasaragod District itself. Ext.P7 order itself would reveal that the said order of transfer was issued only on a temporary basis till Upper Division Clerks are posted in Badiadka Grama Panchayat. Now, the third respondent has filed a statement in this writ petition. It is stated thereunder as follows:- “Since the post of U.D.Clerk at Badiadka Panchayat is already filled up by promotion, the petitioner will not be affected any more. He is continuing in Puthige Grama Panchayat itself.” In view of the position obtained from the aforesaid statement nothing survives for consideration in this writ petition. Accordingly, it is closed.
