RAMACHANDRAN NAIR, J. --------------------------------------- W.P.(C) No.28111 OF 2011 --------------------------------------- Dated this the 25th day of October, 2011. J U D G M E N T The petitioner who was functioning as Headmistress of Government Upper Primary School, Kattumunda in Nilambur Taluk, Malappuram District is aggrieved by Ext.P2 order of transfer by which she is transferred from the said school to Government Upper Primary School, Cherur (Vengara). The reason shown in Ext.P2 is administrative ground. 2. Learned Government Pleader on getting instructions submitted that so many allegations were there including financial irregularities against the petitioner which have been subjected to preliminary enquiry by the Assistant Educational Officer and only on finding that the administrative reasons required the transfer of the petitioner, Ext.P2 order has been passed. It is further pointed out that the 5th respondent has already taken charge on 19.10.2011. It is also submitted by the learned Government W.P.(C) No.28111/2011 2 Pleader that the petitioner has kept the key of the office and the records could not therefore be obtained by the 5th respondent. Ext.P2 is an appealable order and it is open to the petitioner to challenge the same before the appropriate authority. Leaving open the said remedy, this writ petition is dismissed. T.R. RAMACHANDRAN NAIR JUDGE smp
